Great fit - but not really waterproof
No, I do not recommend this product
I live in northern Europe where we get a lot of rain. I bought my first North Face Mountain Light w. Goretex at REI years ago and used it for many years without getting wet. I deicided to replace it with the SUMMIT L5 with the new membrane. In the summer months it was perfect. But unfortunately - the first time I wore it in heavy rain, it could not withstand the rain. I returned it and got a full refund.

Buy it!
I Iove this jacket and am completely satisfied with my purchase. I tried it on at the beginning of last season and set an intention to buy it. Little did I know the season would end abruptly! I still purchased the jacket and use it constantly as a windbreaker on walks and for hiking. It is comfortable and versatile for outerwear!
