O2 Rainwear: Testimonials


	“I wore the O2 Rainwear TM Rainsuit at the Tour de Toona, where it rained a lot. The Rainsuit worked perfectly and we had a lot of people talking about the suits. ” Mike Greehan Advocacy Director of Interbike Vice President of The League of American Bicyclists President of Bikes Belong Former Publisher of BICYCLING Magazine

	“Well I finally got to use the rain gear in a Hurricane and it did great. I had a lot of skeptics who were asking me where they could get one after a few hours. There are a few other tropical systems out there and I really liked your rainwear better than my other high-end stuff.” Jerry Simonson CNN Photographer

	“The Governors Fishing Opener May 2000 was my first experience with O2 RainwearTM. Opening morning brought the wind, cold, and rain. I fished about six hours total and was very impressed with how waterproof and windproof the suit was. O2 RainwearTM is a great alternative to cheap PVC suits and 1/3 the price of other bulky higher end suits.” Jim Gerchy Editor/Publisher Outdoors Weekly

	“I'm training in sub-zero weather in Minnesota for the Disney World half-marathon. My O2 RainwearTM jacket from Rain Shield keeps me warmer than a regular windbreaker, and snow slides right off it. I like the extra length in back too. I even like the yellow color. It stands out from the snow, and I know I'm visible.” Teri Dwyer, St. Paul, MN Race Director, Race for the Cure-Twin Cities

	“I've always liked lightweight jackets, but in Minnesota there is a time and place for protection. My O2 RainwearTM Jacket from Rain Shield gives me both. It feels as light as basic nylon, but is much warmer and dryer. Even a north wind can't get through it. It makes a great race warm-up jacket too, and packs in its own little bag. It should be standard equipment for anyone who isn't a fair-weather runner!” Chris Fuller, St. Paul, MN 2:24 Marathoner, Race Director

	“The great thing about my O2 RainwearTM is it is so lightweight you will never feel like your wearing a rain suit. I never experienced any condensation due to O2's superior breathability. Whether you're fishing in a downpour or sitting on a dew covered boat seat, IT WILL KEEP YOU DRY!” Roger Rucci Buyer/Sales Joe's Sporting Goods St. Paul, MN

	“The rain gear was fantastic! The team really appreciated it for wind protection as much as for rain. They loved it's light weight and breathability. I wore it as I stood in downpours passing off messages. And as a crew chief, I highly recommend it for all racing participants!” Sherry Moore RAAM PR Staff Jeff Welsch Gazette-Times Sports Writer

	“I just wanted to let you know how well one of your jackets performed. I ran the Mount Mitchell Challenge, a 40 mile trail race that runs to the top of Mt. Mitchell (highest point east of the Rockies). This race has been named as one of the 12 toughest races in the US by Trail Runner Magazine. I chose to wear one of your jackets because of the weather. We started off in the mid 40's in a thunderstorm with torrential rains, at the summit we experience temperatures in the 30's with rain and gale force winds, by the end of the race we had light rain with the temperatures in the mid 50's. The trail was flooded with all the rain and snow melt, it was like running up a stream of ice water. This was the absolute worst conditions that I have ever raced in. I wore one thin layer of a wicking material under my jacket. Not only did I stay dry from the rain, I was still warm at the summit with all the wind and I did not over heat at the end of the race. This is a GREAT product and I can testify that it has been Mt. Mitchell tested and approved. Thanks for such a great product.” Jeff Durham Montreat, NC

	“The weather report called for rain, and I didn't have anything breathable to wear in the rain. I was worried about sweating that much in temperatures that were predicted to begin in the upper 40s. Obviously, I was extremely pleased when the jacket arrived on Friday. “The weather turned out to be not only rainy and windy for the race, but temperatures were in the mid-thirties. The jacket performed beautifully, keeping me dry from the rain without without trapping condensation inside. It saved my bacon, and I finished the race comfortably. I'm afraid the outcome would have been different if I'd had to wear another rain jacket. “Kudos on the product, and most of all kudos on your service. I'll definitely recommend you to anyone who asks, 'Hey, where did you get that jacket?' Many thanks, ” Jennifer Chilcoat Little Rock, AR
