PegMonkey Bad Monkey!

The O'Neal Typhoon enduro jacket comes in any color you want as long as it's black. Yeah, I know, that was bad. But it's a good jacket. It's very durable and over the two plus years that I've been abusing it, it's taken it all in stride. It's not a water proof jacket exactly and it's not sold as one, but it keeps me dry in all but the worst down pours. The main weakness in it's weather proof defenses are the zip off sleaves. Water will leak in first around the seams at your shoulders and cuase water to leak down around your chest. I've never unzipped the sleaves. The jacket has enough ventilation and will stay securely in place when the front zippers are unzipped from the top and the bottom. This lets enough air in to keep you cool that I've never needed to unzip the sleaves. I also prefer to err on the side of being over protected.
