Questions on Torrentshell Jacket - Women's (Fall 2012)

- Are there pit zips or other forms of ventilation? Would this be a good rain jacket for Kauai, the rainiest place on earth--and tropical?
- Thank you for the question. Yes, this jacket does have pit zips for ventilation. It's a fully waterproof jacket so there's no worries about the rain, but it is not as breathable as some of our other jackets. This shouldn't be too much of a problem, but it might seem a bit clammy on the skin with such high humidity. Thanks!
