Great jacket with a minimal design
samm7 years ago
Received free productI'm really impressed with this new jacket. It fits well, has a really solid, minimal design that hits the right spot between technical features features and off-trail style. I've had the jacket for almost two weeks now and have worn it every day as a winter layer for commuting by bicycle and foot. Haven't taken it backpacking yet, but it fits great with a pack on and I expect it to hold up well.
Things I really like: 1) Lightweight. My size M weighs exactly 10 oz. This is very light for a rain jacket. 2) Fit. The jacket has room to easily fit over a fleece and a puffy jacket. The hood has several adjustment cords that help me find the right spot. And the tall collar protects my neck from the wind but folds out of the way when I don't need it. 3) Feel. The fabric feels really nice, not too fragile or too bulky. The pockets are mesh-lined which feels good on my hands. 4) Minimalist design. This is a simple product, just two well-placed front hand pockets and nothing else (no pit zips or chest pocket). Though I typically like having these features, I'm ok without them for the weight savings.
I obviously haven't had the jacket long enough to speak to its durability, but it feels very solidly constructed.
I have many years of backpacking experience (including an AT thru-hike), and I think this will be my new go-to jacket for all around use. It provides the weather protection I'm looking for in a lightweight form, has good style, and won't feel bulky in my pack when I don't need it.

1 week of use - worn out
jakeindc7 years ago
After 1 week of casual use, getting caught in a couple heavy spring rains, no longer waterproof. Today most of the surface is wetting out and interior seams at shoulders/back are wet after less than 10 minutes in a light mist. I am highly surprised at the lack of durability in a jacket marketed as a hiking rain piece at this price point. Have mercy on any soul relying on this in the wilderness.

WHY DID REI STOP MAKING THIS FOR WOMEN!? :( :(
4 years ago
I don't write reviews! I love this jacket, and I am so sad REI discontinued the women's line. The GTX active is super breathable fabric. I have used this jacket cycling, hiking, backpacking, and snowboarding and I don't over heat! People complain about the pockets being vents but it is GENIOUS for saving weight. As someone that runs hotter, it's hard for me to give in to GTX jackets without pit zips. This jacket keeps some sort of vents without sacrificing weight. It packs down small enough to fit in my handle bar bag. Mine is still in good condition after three years, but I need to replace it because it is too big now! Please make this jacket for women again!

My rainy day staple
6 years ago
This jacket served me perfectly during my thru hike of the Long Trail during June. We had a few pretty rainy days and a couple of large thunderstorms. The Drypoint held up well, except for one crazy thunderstorm where everything got soaked. This jacket is so LIGHT and it proved perfect for backpacking. A lot of people scream foul when there aren't pit zips, but I don't think they're necessary with the Gore Tex Active. The hood is reasonably easy to adjust and it kept water out of my eyes. The pockets are placed perfectly access when carrying a backpack. For sizing, I'm 6" and 185 and the large fits well even with some mid layers underneath.

Thrifty Gore-Tex Rain Jacket
7 years ago
This is an excellent rain jacket! I have owned Marmot Precip Jackets before now, but they always delaminated and wetted through. I was looking to step up to a Gore-Tex and the REI Co-Op hit the right price point for quality. Usually, I buy a rain jacket and then experience a drought. Not this time! Water beads and rolls off like a duck's back. The waterproof zipper is stiff, but reassuring. The hood and bill are deep enough to cover your face and fit a cap, but not a helmet. The material is a bit stiff but seems to help with ventilation and does not stick to skin. I did not overheat on a brisk hike in the mid-60's.

Good, lightweight rain jacket
6 years ago
Just come back from three weeks of trekking in Nepal. Fortunately, the weather was dry most days. But, it did get pretty cold and windy once we were above the treeline. So, I ended up wearing this jacket days for wind protection, usually over a few layers, and/or a light down jacket. All in all, it performed really well. It kept me dry in light snow, and breathed well enough to keep me dry when we were hiking hard. On this trip at least, I didn't miss having pit zips. Overall, I liked the design of the jacket. The pockets were high enough that they didn't snag my backpack hipbelt. The sleeves also had enough length to be pulled down over my hands when I was cold and couldn't be bothered going into my pack for gloves. The fit runs a bit on the big side. A size L fitted me well, even over a light down jacket. For comparison, in most other brands - especially, Arcteryx - I'd need an XL to get that much room.

Amazing Rain Jacket
5 years ago
Purchased this jacket about 2 months ago and absolutely love it. Have worn it for long day hikes around Seattle and also for short 30min dog walks in the pouring rain. Not a single leak, very comfortable, and very light and breathable. This is by far the best rain coat I have ever owned. Purchased an XL so I could wear a down jacket underneath for colder days, which works great, as well as loose and breathable on warm rainy days. Lastly, the hood is a nice bonus, as you can see to your side rather than the typical tunnel vision you end up with in some jackets.

Perfection
7 years ago
Finally tried this product after trying other rain shells. The VERY expensive shells didn't fit in either M or L, while others in this price range were really wet inside after exertion, and also had XL hoods. This jacket could not fit me better, has an easily adjustable right-size hood, and after exertion in the cold, the inside was completely dry. Unzipping the mesh pockets to core vent appears to have worked, and the weight is fantastic. Rolls-up in to the hood. Using Gore-Tex is a great move by REI. So far, can't find one negative thing about this shell. It is simply perfect.

Kept me dry when I needed it!
3 years ago
I used this jacket extensively in Wyoming's Winds and Colorado's South San Juans this summer (2021) and it kept me dry and protected. I encountered a lot of rain exposure on both backpacking trips and day hikes and it never let a drop of rain in. I did have to keep adjusting the front zipper to avoid excessiver perspiration buildup when the temps were warm but that was a minor inconvenience. I gave it 4 stars for its light weight, packability, good fit and price. I would have given it 5 stars if it had pit zips and at least one interior drop pocket. But at a price point of $175, I must say I'm very pleased with the Drypoint jacket overall.

Great Design!
7 years ago
Love the simplicity and function of this design! One of the best minimalistic Gore-Tex jacket designs out there. Fits true to size with enough room for a down sweater underneath, and light enough for summertime. The only thing I would add is a Velcro tab on the rear hood to pull back the brim when you don’t have a hat to keep the hood from covering your eyes. Can’t speak to the durability yet, but I’ll be heartbroken if it doesn’t hold up. The blue looks better in person, also!

All season shell

I was quite surprised at how light it was. Wore it a number of times in low 20 degree weather on strenuous hikes. Kept me warm as an outer shell and despite the fact that I was perspiring, the inside of the jacket did not have any moisture at all. The only place where it had moisture was on the label inside on the upper part of the jacket. So it breathes quite well. The fit was comfortable with a mid layer fleece jacket worn underneath.

Feature-to-Weight Ratio is Spot on.
7 years ago
Living in the NW, decent rain protection is a must (especially when you don't own an umbrella). I have several rain jackets but have found myself reaching for the Drypoint consistently, and not just for the trail. This jacket strikes a perfect balance between features and weight. I particularly enjoy the attention to detail, from the tailored cut on the cuff to the zipper pulls. The fit adjustments on both the hood and the cuffs are simple and easy to use, they function well and don't add any unnecessary weight to the jacket. So far I have taken the jacket on the trail, running in a downpour, an even found myself grabbing it as I headed out for a wet day on the slopes. There is something really appealing about how light this jacket is that makes it wonderful to wear, (and throw in your pack!) especially when you can easily count on it to keep you COMPLETELY dry.
