    Comments about Patagonia Rain Shadow Jacket - Men's:

    A real nice rain jacket from a company known for it's quality of workmanship. A nice selection of colors but more importantly a jacket that does the job in inclement weather, whether around town or in the backcountry. The Bonfire Orange is a fabulous color. Fits well with a light to medium baselayer or even with something a little bit heavier. The hood is not too snug or loose and fits well when zipped up. Overall a real quality jacket which should last for years.

    Comments about Patagonia Rain Shadow Jacket - Men's:

    Very lightweight, it takes up practically no space in my pack. And so far, water repellency and breathability are excellent. I had a hard time justifying the price, as it is considerably more expensive than alternatives like North Face or Marmot. But as always, with Patagonia products you get what you pay for.

    Doesn't hold up under harsh conditions. Stick to the other brands if you want something well made. Buy Patagonia if you like nice colors.

      Comments about Patagonia Rain Shadow Jacket - Men's:

      This coat is fine if you are dashing between the raindrops with your umbrella but if you need a coat to withstand a downpour then this is not it. It is very wet inside and this is not from perspiration. I was so surprised I thought maybe it was the individual jacket so I replaced it but alas I was soaked again very fast while my co- workers were all dry.

      Comments about Patagonia Rain Shadow Jacket - Men's:

      I'm a college student so I needed to keep my Books and Computer dry in my Backpack. I got 1 size too large so that I can zip it up with my pack underneath. It works great for that, then when I dont have my pack, It doesnt look like I'm wearing my big brother's jacket. It looks and feels perfect! The other thing I like about it is the longer tail. I can ride my bike in the rain and not worry about any tire spray going up my back. I have also backpacked with this jacket and did not have any problems with it tearing while I pushed through brush. For me, this is the best Rain Jacket out there.

        I've used this product for about 10 months and have had no problems. The jacket has performed well in everything from winds over 40 mph and thunderstorms to snowshoeing and tubing. My only con is that the drawstrings for the hood are in a little awkward position to adjust. Other than that I have been extremely pleased.

        Comments about Patagonia Rain Shadow Jacket - Men's:

        Simply put, this jacket is NOT waterproof. I've been scouring reviews all over the web, and the only positive ones come from people who say, "it works great in the city!" People. That's what Patagonia is, as I figured out soon when I took the Rain Shadow on a through hike of the Pacific Northwest Trail this summer. I swear, if you rip off the Patagonia sunset over the mountains logo from their clothing, people would never buy their products. Patagonia is for "urban hikers," whatever that is. If I pay [$], I expect a rain jacket to, I don't know, ward off rain. I've generally understood waterproof to mean that an object disallows water to permeate through it's surface. I thought that maybe I was sweating in the jacket the first time I took it off and was soaked, but I soon realized that this jacket was soaked in rainwater. I'm an avid through-hiker who will be attempting the Triple Crown with my wife and infant child. We've been there, done that, and this jacket doesn't do it. I implore people to STOP purchasing Patagonia products. I'm sure their merino wool products work as advertised, but they sell a short sleeve merino for $70. What? That's ridiculous. You're not paying for quality, you paying to maintain debutante status. If you want to pay a lot and get quality go with MontBell, Mountain Hardwear and Granite Gear.
