question regarding a FXRG jacket

Guys,
I'm getting an FXRG jacket for my wife, and want to know if it is really waterproof, or if I'd still need to carry her rain gear (jacket) as well...

I have an fxrg, I still carry my rain jacket...but the jacket is waterproof. Are you sue your wife wants the fxrg? My wife does not like the fxrg because it's so heavy..

That's definitely something to consider, very good point. I'll take her to the dealer to try one on.

Thanks,

I'm a woman, and I love my Scorpion Nip Tuck II. It was designed by a woman for a woman. It is a 3-season jacket at best, but it has body armor and the liner is allegedly wind-proof/waterproof. I haven't tried it in the rain (yet), but will say of all the jackets I tried on, it fit the best and felt like "coming home" when I first tried it on. I am difficult to fit also, as I have large shoulders and "girls" but a smaller waist. In business suits I wear a size 8 slacks and 12 or 14 jacket. So please do not limit her options to just HD brand.
