I have a Howies jacket that advertised how fast the fabric dried. "3x faster!!" the tag hollared at me. It talked all about wearing it in the wet. Turns out I was shafted. Yes, truth be told if you leave the jacket out wet it does seem to get dry (can't say I timed it), however if I wear it out in the rain I'm soaked in 15 minutes!!!!
Luckily I bought it on sale and not for the £100 and something they wanted for it originally!!!
Bad Howies!! Bad! Bad!
To be fair it is thin and warm, longer in back for riding, and looks cute on me. ;-)
