This is real breathable material!?

the slickdeal raincoat i bought years said breathable but it's just mesh pockets without lining so heat/moisture from the stomach down goes out of the pockets.
but your chest is still hot. Frown

hm.. i just need the jacket.

Think of these as one use items. They tear so easily they're practically disposable. Maybe something to keep in the car to change a tire in the rain, or for an outing or sporting event where you might get caught in the rain. I suppose you could repair the tears with duct tape if you wanted to get a few uses out of the gear?

Agreed. Very flimsy.

There are not any waterproof rain jackets that are really breathable (if you mean breeze like airflow) unless they have vents. Even Gore-Tex which claims to be among the most breathable membranes doesn't readily pass air.

In rain jackets, breathability means that if you are sweating inside, and the outside is relatively dry, then the inside water will eventually evaporate and the air vapor can pass through.

If you want actual breathable, you look for rain ponchos with side slots, jackets with pit zips, or I've even seen extreme hikers use an umbrella with a waterproof kilt.

Frogg Toggs excel at being cheap and pretty durable compared to thinner DWR treated nylon. Also a DWR treated nylon can wet out if you sit in water while truly waterproof gear doesn't. It's a good rain suit to have in a truck for a worker, and they are good for kids that will grow out of stuff. They are in my opinion bad hiking gear as they are too crispy feeling.

I like thin nylon DWR for hiking on day trips (Arctix, Columbia, whatever). Try to avoid washing them to preserve the DWR. The newer eco-DWR everyone is using is no better than Nikwax. I like higher quality polyurethane if waterproofness might be critical for survival (mine are Helly Hansen Moss).

thx for the info! i'm going to skip this then.

I had a Columbia goretex ski jacket a couple of decades ago.
it was supposed to be 'breathable' but after skiing hard, i was getting hot and sweating.
Had to unzip and open the ski jacket, which defeated the purpose of paying a premium for the Goretex 'breathablily'

Reviews have the, "hook," with out of whack 1 star reviews compared to others. I always read the 3 star reviews to get a fair review. They're pretty bad. The pants seem to tear with any movement. I'm going to pass and look for a good poncho.

You will tear the ass out of these. Skinny or fat.

Definitely a one-time use type of outfit. The super thin layer of polymer blend is basically held together by the equally thin waterproofing material. Durability rating is somewhere between a grocery store plastic bag and a cheap $1 mesh tote bag (very similar poly blend, actually). Ideal for emergency roadside use on a rainy day, but definitely not for much else.

100% agree, they will rip with the slightest resistance, never buying again.

Grabbed a set to throw in the hurricane kit. Perfect price for something I hope I never have to use.
