I have an Olympia AST2 that I have been very happy with for a little over two years now
BUT
Today as I was returning from a trip to Arkansas, I was forced to ride thru about 90 minutes of rain, varying from light to torrential
The AST2 has a built in inner lining that is supposed to be water repellent and the outer shell is supposed to repel water as well
Before today the jacket's "water proof" properties had never been tested
I rode fearlessly into the storm and ended up with arms soaked thru as well as my belly
I am sorely disappointed. Is there some kind of upkeep on the outer shell that I don't know about I should have been doing all this time?
