I am impressed at the colors! They are more vibrant than I was originally expecting, better than what I thought from the photos! I owned the half-zip in Spice color for a while and it was a great jacket but I like the full-zip because it is easier to take off! The price is also good for outdoor wear and great quality from a great company! I enjoy all my Cotopaxi wear and will 100% buy again!
I bought this jacket due to an impeding rain storm prior to heading into the Trinity Alps. And rain it did - for two whole days during early June. The fit was perfect and comfortable, and the jacket does not make a lot of noise when hiking. The first rainy day was fine - no wetness issues. But by the second rainy day, there was a noticeably wet film of water on the inside of the jacket. It wasn't due to leaks, but to condensation. Conclusion: this is a good jacket for summer hiking and short durations of wet weather, but for longer spells of rain you'll need something made with Gortex if you want to stay completely dry.
Great value. I spent 10 hours in the rain with this jacket the other week and stayed dry. The weight ratio is great for this price point. This is a great outer shell that has enough room to function as part of a system of your build. Jacket has enough cinch points for a custom fit. This is also very pack-able!
I chose the Cielo Rain Jacket for the playful color-blocking and its tailored cut (shape). The 2.5L stood up to short, heavy showers and the jacket's light weight made it comfortable to wear as an all-around jacket when there was no rain. It also travels well because it folds neatly into a flat parcel that takes up little luggage space.
I wish that there was a tall slim option. I pair my new rain coat with a Cotopaxi poof coat. The rain coat sleeves are not long enough.
It's pretty simple: if you wear this jacket in light-to-moderate rain, you will get wet. Huge disappointment, given how expensive this jacket is. Save your money and go with a different brand.
Wet through in an hour and a half of moderate wind driven rain. Not satisfactory.
I bought the jacket because the style was excellent and I know the brand is known for quality. I was very pleased with the results. The jacket has great water wicking capabilities. The cut under the arms, sleeve length and the seams are really well done. It’s lightweight, but the moisture barrier provides an extra insulative Value. I think I’ll start looking at their clothing for other choices as well after having a good experience with this jacket purchase
I bought cielo rain Jackets for me and my whole Family for a trip we took to Iceland. They were really confortable for the summer season, for rainy weather they were pretty ok, but as soon as it rainned heavily or we were walking near the waterfalls, the water started to come through the fabric and our clothes under the jacket started to get wet. So deffinetly would recomend them for light rains and no long exposition to it. Like them, lo es the colors.
I've changed how I purchase everything. I review it with a purpose and cost of ownership and the exchange Im making with my Money or my Life. This jacket was for me a pretty expensive rain jacket. I read reviews and learned about your commitment to your products and the warranty. I tried you guys out and purchased the my first Cotopaxi item. I wore it all year throughout South America and did some exciting excursions. It held up for the most part but when it needed to be revived or replaced, I followed your steps and you guys really stuck to your promise. You held up your end of the deal and replaced the jacket which had some issues. You made my Money or my Life decision worth it.
