" ...  100% waterproof, fits well, looks great, light and packable, I hiked a section of the AT with it. ... It kept wind and rain/snow off me at all times.  ...  "

" ...  Well constructed, lightweight but offers good rain and wind protection  ...  "
comment
" ...  I love the outdoors and didn't want to let the rain stop me from getting outside. ... The jacket is fitted with all YKK zippers, which in my experience has been great quality, however these are not waterproof like I've seen in other jackets.  ...  "

" ...  The fabric is more substantial, there is a collar inside and a place to store the hood.  ...  "
comment
" ...  We went with a 2XL because he wanted to be able to layer insulating shirts/vests under the shell, and he was more concerned with functionality than with a slim, stylish silhouette. ... The shoulder seams run right along his shoulders, and the shell is long enough to cover most of his butt. ... There is a draw string on the bottom of the jacket that allows him to cinch it as tightly as he wants, and while the pockets are very lightweight (probably not good for heavy wads of keys) they are adequate for stashing gloves or a wallet.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Arm zips give extra airflow on hot days.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I liked this jacket and had seen it before but wasn't willing to pay over $100 for it. ... I could see wear this on cooler days with or without a warmer layer underneath.  ...  "
