Warning: wasted $80 on a "Gore-Tex" rain jacket from a random online sale

Found this deal for a waterproof jacket marked down from $250 to $80. Looked legit, had the tags and everything. First real rain on the Appalachian Trail last month and I was soaked through in under an hour. The "breathable" claim was a joke too - felt like wearing a trash bag. Emailed the company and got no reply. My buddy's $40 Frogg Toggs from Walmart kept him bone dry the whole trip. Has anyone else fallen for one of these fake outdoor gear sites?

Man, same thing happened to me with a "waterproof" jacket that soaked through on a light drizzle.

Did you check the return policy on the site before you bought it, or did you assume it was legit because of the discount?
