I did a ridiculous amount of research and reading reviews to get an excellent rain jacket, mostly for hiking, some around town as well. I just walked .7 mile in the pouring rain to test it out, and am impressed. A lot of cool details with this jacket. The sizing was smaller me, I usually wear a 6 or small, and purchased a medium. I wore over 2 layers and it was perfect. It will also be a perfect lightweight rain jacket alone. Great color.

The stitching on the inside pockets (a great feature) is incomplete and unfinished. Not sure what happened and will reach out.

Highly Recommend!

8 years ago

My dad got me this for my birthday, after a long time of me eyeballing it. It's everything I thought it would be, and more! It's great for those rainy/windy days on campus, plus it's cute! I'm a 5'5", 104 pound female, and I got the small. It is loose enough that I can easily fit a hoodie under it for more warmth, but still snug enough that it has a nice shape. It's not super warm because it's really more of a shell, but the fact that it keeps the rain and wind off of you makes it warmer than you'd think. The sleeves, waist, and hood are also adjustable, making for an even nicer fit. The jacket is also long enough that I can wear leggings with it and still have some modesty. Another detail that is quite nice is the few strips of Velcro down the zipper flap, so that it'll lay even better and keep you warmer. Also, the material feels nice against bare skin, something that a lot of rain jackets don't have. The versatility is amazing because I even go running in it, and love how lightweight it is. I wear this jacket almost every day, and highly recommend it!

Don't leave with out it

3 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought an extra one of this rain jacket in this great blue for working outside at home when it rains. I always pack one of these jackets when I travel no matter where I go (Hawaii, Tahiti, New Zealand in winter, Spain, Italy, France, or a road trip through the US). These jackets are light enough to wear in warm, rainy weather, and great to use to layer over warm clothing in cold weather (I get a size bigger for layering). They are also very give good movement.

I probably wouldn't buy again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You must have long sleeves underneath or layers at all times or you will freeze. This doesn't provide warmth, just simply blocks rain. My black jacket arrived dirty with white streaks all over that did not wash off. Not sure if it was a prior return.

No, I do not recommend this product

So unbelievably content with this purchase!

7 years ago

So i purchased this jacket based on my significant other's recommendation since we're hiking up Mt. Herard out in Colorado in a few weeks. Needless to say, i'm so happy i bought this ! I'm 5'1 and weigh 110lbs, chest size 32c. i purchased an XS. I was so afraid this jacket was going to be extremely fitted but once it arrived i could immediately tell it wasn't going to be that way at all. i'm petite so it's a tad roomy but i'm fine with that bc now i definitely have the option to layer it when the cooler weather hits but the jacket by itself is still so comfortable and fits so nicely and is so lightweight. The only "dislike" would be the arm length but i have pretty short arms so this tends to be the case with a lot of jackets.... Fortunately the velcro at the wrists of the sleeves fixes that length issue entirely ! (: i also took that custom sizing test to see what i would be and it told me i should get a Small... which would've been massive on me. Glad i listened to my gut and went with the XS ! But overall i highly recommend this product if you want something that's functional/practical for almost anywhere except the extreme cold.

Inside Peeling Off

5 years ago

I loved this rain jacket but was very disappointed when the inside fabric started peeling and shedding. Unfortunately, I cannot wear it anymore as flakes of the interior fabric shed onto my shirt and it gets messy.

I would buy this product again

5 years ago

I am 5'0" and around 105lbs. After reading reviews, I decided to size down to an XS and overall it's a good fit. I still have room for a warmer layer underneath if warranted. The sleeves are slightly too long, but it doesn't bother me. The jacket is very lightweight and is perfect for hot days with thundershowers. The only con I noticed was that I wanted to be able to fold the jacket into the zippered pouch pocket, like in the pictures, so I could attach it to a backpacking backpack. But, not matter how forcefully I stuff it into the zippered pocket, it just does not fit. It is still very packable though and won't take up too much room inside of a backpack.

Amazing Jacket

6 years ago

I am 5 ft 110 lbs and I got this jacket in XS fig heather, it fits perfectly and I can put an extra layer underneath! I am from FL and use this jacket when it pours, it does a wonderful job at keeping me warm. I also just came back from Iceland and this jacket was a must. It is lightweight and packable which is a huge plus because my boyfriend and I only took a backpack. During 20 degree rainy days, this was a great outer layer and kept me dry on hikes and around waterfalls. It's also wind proof, so it helped me from the harsh cold wind. I recommend it to anyone who is looking to stay dry or who is looking for an outer layer!

Great jacket for windy conditions

4 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this jacket for hiking in high altitudes, especially if I know it is going to be windy. It did an awesome job blocking out wind on the windy summit. It doesn't keep you too warm though, so I wore a long sleeve and the north face thermoball vest underneath. I have not tried it in the rain yet, but when I did test it in the snow it repelled the snow right off and kept me dry. It is easily packable if you no longer need a jacket during your hike, I stuffed it into my hydration vest. I would purchase this again.

Great jacket - LOVE it

9 years ago

I'm 5'3" and 130 lbs. I purchased the medium and the jacket fits well. It's a little big, but I wanted it larger to allow for layers underneath. It looks really good on and is comfortable. The armpit vents help with the ventilation which is often hard to get in rain gear. The hood has a small bill built into it to help shelter your eyes from rain, and it has it's own drawstring to tighten. Large interior pockets make it easy to carry my phone and keep it safe from the elements.
