 I am looking at purchasing a StormR Jacket and was curious if others have any experience with the StormR products and if they were sturdy.
The Typhoon is the specific jacket that I am interested in buying.
Thanks

Been using this jacket for a couple years now, best jacket I own ;0)
Keeps me warm wet or dry, blocks wind and moves with me while paddling. Posted a review when I first got it, but can't find a link :0(
Call me if you have any questions, or if you want to get hold of the rep.

the jackets sure look good for on the water wear. I really like the stowable hoods.

Wish they had some brighter colors to choose from though.

The amazon site showed the orange/smoke combo but the colors looked dull there.
This photo looks like the orange could be fairly bright.  I ordered smoke.

The jacket does not disappoint. Great quality and great protection.
I requested the "smoke" color but they sent black. That is fine, and I may have ordered black if I knew that it was an option anyway.  Weather has been perfect for this jacket with the wind and rain but it can get hot. It really is built for hard core conditions. I wore it recently when testing new PFDs and it was compatible and comfortable. Absolutely a solid purchase.
Thanks again Eric for the help.
