It takes some time for it to get soaked under heavy rain but once it does you are basically screwed. Material is heavy and will not dry up quickly. That's the only bad thing I have to say about Gorka.

I'll echo 666 on this one. Gorka's are a fantastic piece of kit to have, very rugged and well designed. The only thing I'd add/mod it to do is accept the US GI M65 liners but other than that, I absolutely love my SSO Gorka R. HOWEVER it should never be used as standalone rain gear during heavy downpours and for extended periods of rain... once it gets soaked it takes awhile to dry up.
