I've used it, and I can testify that it is indeed expensive (unless you get it at a camping goods surplus store, as I did), and it does indeed keep you fairly dry inside, despite your strenuous exertion. I recommend an investment in the cheapest Gore-tex suit that covers you adequately. For any rain-suit, while you're trying it out in the store, think about all the ways that rain can sneak thru deficiencies in the design. That's more important than fit. ----------Bruce W.
