Read More Bought for my son who is 14 and trim. This jacket was too tight around the waist which was odd. It was on the clearance rack so maybe it was mis-cut. The waist was tighter than the rest of the torso and overall there wasn't room to to layer much with it. I returned it and bought the REI Rainwall jacket for him. Same size but much better fit and room to layer. If it had fit him then it would have been a keeper. -

Read More I use this jacket for hiking and as a casual wear. The jacket is light weight and waterproof. The side zippers are great but are to close to the pocket zippers. Sometimes while trying to open the pocket zippers I'll open the side zippers instead. -

Read More Great jacket for layering. By itself, on top of a short T-shirt, is an over kill as a simple (warm day) rain jacket. There are cheaper and lighter alternatives for that purpose. Where Taku jacket shines is when layering in cold wet weather is required. With wool base layer and nano puff mid-layer then Taku as outer layer works extremely well for extreme cold (and wet) conditions. -

Read More Bought this a few weeks ago. Only been tested in a light rain so far but it held up fine. It's nice that it's not plastic feeling or noisy like some other rain jackets. A lot of the reviews say it's good for winter sports, but it's true to specs and not insulated. Make sure to have under layers if you'll use this in the cold. It would be nice if it had an interior pocket or two. Bought it for hiking, which it's a little heavy for, but for the price and comfort I'll make due. -

Read More I bought this jacket with the hopes it was going to be a good 3 season jacket. It is wind proof and fairly waterproof. I noticed a pull in the fabric after wearing it outside on a walk with my son; first time worn. Not sure if it was there or not at time of purchase only a couple hours before. The fabric pull did seem to leak water through. The jacket also had no hood hold down so the hood is always in the way and hitting you when bending over and such. I still think the jacket has uses but I returned it for the flaw. -

Read More Had a huge downpour in Texas over the winter about a week after purchase, tested it out and didn't feel anything. The rest of December had a couple more showers, and i wore this jacket everytime since i was afraid the water proofing would wear away like others had mentioned, it didn't. Then, i tested it in a rare snowfall in Texas. Again, didn't get wet and was nice and warm. In January, went to crested butte for some skiing and it snowed/ whiteout the entire time. Temps constantly hit the negatives (-14 being the coldest) with winds of 30 mph, someone in our group actually got minor frostbite (he went snow mobiling). I felt fine with a couple layers. This is an AMAZING jacket. Handles wind great, is warm, is compressable and light weight, hood fits over helmets, a great jacket to have. Some things to be aware of, i wear this jacket when mountain biking as well, and it gets clammy/ too hot when temps hit 50-60 (for me personally) even with pit zips completely open. YMMV. Wouldn't really call that a con.

Read More I purchased this on clearance at REI. I purchased it as an alternative to the Marmot Precip. It is much more rugged, fully seamed and just a great bargain. It was pouring today and I took it to the office. I arrived dry and comfortable. I am doing a half loop of the Yosemite High Camps later this summer and will definitely be taking this with us.
