        Comments about Sierra Designs Microlight Jacket - Men's:

        the microlight jacket is simply that. small and light weight. not intended for torrential down pours, works very well in humid and light precip weather. comes with a stuff sack that makes it great for keeping with you all the time in case you need it. its not the most breathable jacket, but then again, it makes a GREAT wind breaker. i could highly recommend this as a great ultra light outer shell. wore it on a lake the other night in 30 degree weather over my fleece. it was crazy windy, but this thing kept me dry, and kept the wind off entirely. price tag is pretty good too.

        • Fit:
        • Feels true to size
        • Sleeve Length:
        • Feels true to length
        • Chest Size:
        • Feels true to size

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Sierra Designs Microlight Jacket - Men's:

        DO not buy! The produt IS NOT "water resistant" and is very cheaply made. The tag is a gross misrepresentation of the product. Even when brand new it left me high and WET on the John Muir Trail in just a very light rain. It should be sold as a Hypotherima training jacket. Very serious about this...a $1 rain poncho would have been better. Note: Sierra Designs does not honor their warranties! I found this out after mailing it back to them (was not near a REI at the time)....Thank God for REI

          Comments about Sierra Designs Microlight Jacket - Men's:

          I bought this to use as a lightweight windbreak/rain jacket.
          The first problem is the sizing. I'm typically a size small/medium and I bought an x-large. The jackets are too short and didn't reach the bottom of my fleece.

          The second issue is durability. Within 10 minutes I had already broke off the pocket zipper on one side, by the end of the trip (after being very careful not to do the same thing..) I broke off the other pocket zipper. If you don't use one hand to hold the jacket and the other to unzip it the pressure just rips it off. My girlfriend has the same jacket and her front zipper would pop open from the slightest pressure, bending over with a pack on, sitting down, etc.

          One plus is it's extremely light weight and compactable. It's also a great wind break. As you might expect it doesn't breath very well and can't take much more than a quick light shower.
