Finally... A jacket that does what it says its going to do - so happy I purchased this. Excellent rain protection I experienced over 2 hours in medium rain on walk. No wet out, no leakage - water just ran off and kept me dry the whole time. Highly recommend this jacket for sure !
I've had 3 of these - all returned after the first use. The quality control is terrible and they all had signs of delamination after just one use in the rain. Will be buying a different brand.
Great jacket! I walk my dog 2-3 hrs a day in all kinds of weather. This jacket keeps me warm (with layers underneath) and dry. I buy men's jackets because I hate the fit of most women's jackets which are too constricting.
The jacket is nice looking but the hood is not useful if there is a breeze over 10-15 mph. There isn't a hood draw string lock and a breeze in your face bellows the hood, draw string slips to wide open and the hood flips if off your head. You have to hold it on with one hand. Not worth it for head protection.
I’ve used this several times as a top layer on cold rainy days as well as a top waterproof layer on cold and wet walks. While it doesn’t provide much warmth itself I bought it a size up (XL) so that u could properly layer beneath it. Layering with this jacket is assisted by the zippers on the sides which go all the way up to the armpit, therefore if you get to hot you can easily dump heat and regulate temps. What I found during my runs is that I moves well with the body, I did not have any complaints about restriction I felt I could run and even sprint without worry.
I needed a jacket that would perform in a variety of extreme environments when going inside was not an option. This jacket filled this role perfectly and has kept me dry while exploring the north Maine Woods more recently while hiking through the cloud rain forest in Costa Rica. On a cool rainy day, you can keep warm with all the vents closed and a puffy underneath. While in warmer humid weather, just open the massive vents on the sides and keep dry while still being able to "breath" and stop sweat from soaking you from the inside out. It is very weight efficient, easily packed, and well cut for the active user. The chest pocket is also a favorite feature of mine to safely store a cell phone while on the move yet keeping it easily accessible.
I recently went to Washington DC where it was misting most ofthe day not only didcit keep me dry but warm as well. In fact i had to unzip the sides too cool down at one point. Such an awesome feature
While the sleeves are a good length, the torso of the 1XL, I ordered, was too snug. 1XL works in 90% of the garments I've ordered. No data on it's rain protection, as I'll likely exchange it.
The new 3L Fabric is a huge improvement over the older Foray, it's robust, has just enough stretch, and overall is impressive. I was somewhat hesitant as they moved away from Gore but seeing it in person I am 100 percent a fan and it's better in every way. The only improvement, and OR please make this happen, is the branding. Make a Blacked out version without the contrasting logos, that would put this jacket as the best among the best.
Excellent shell with great features. Well constructed and good fit. Looking forward to long hikes in different climates by using different base and mid layers.
