They got what they asked for, and got what they paid for (cheaper price by a cheaper company). Doesn't pay to go cheap, unless you have duct tape for repairs. Ask  Shoe & Wench about the holes in their rain gear.  I used Marmot precip (Marmot just gave me a free new jacket after 15 years). Gonna take it backpacking next month up in the Mount Rogers area. YMMV.

The other side of all of this is what I do...no raingear at all. I don't 
think I've ever owned anything that would be called 'raingear'. I just 
get wet...then, put on dry clothes when I get wear I'm going.
