Super solid as an outer shell!
MTB Girl4 months ago
Received free productLove this shell. Although it's a little heavier than similar quality shells on the market, the quality is solid and so is the price!
Due to an uncharacteristically dry winter, I haven't had the chance to test its waterproofing in many storms, but it kept me dry during one downpour. I've since tested it in the shower, and walked out without a drop of leakage! My primary use for it at the moment is as a shell to break wind and keep me warm while biking -- which it excels at. I went out in a sun shirt and this shell down to 40° and stayed totally warm.
Notable features: reinforced seam sealing at high friction areas (!!), visor for visibility in rain, sturdy-feeling elastic and Velcro cinches at the waist and wrists, and -- best of all -- armpit vents that actually zip smoothly. Well made product!

Maybe I Got A Dud?
Tammy Hikes19692 months ago
I purchased this jacket for a backpacking trip in Scotland. I wanted to be prepared for many wet days. Fortunately, I was blessed with sunny weather for my entire trip. I say fortunately because I didn't have to count in this jacket to keep me dry at any point. I wore it this morning for a dog walk in the rain and it immediately started wetting out. My t-shirt got wet as well as my cell phone that I had stowed in the breast pocket. I love the fit, the feel and the look of this jacket. The inside feels great against my skin. The pit zips are huge and can easily be opened and closed with one hand. The pockets are roomy. I love that it has a breast pocket. The zippers seem really well made and built for keeping out water. It's really lightweight. It's a great wind breaker/jacket. However, the one that I received, was not waterproof. So on top of the cost of the jacket, I had to tack on another $25 for a bottle of Nikwax to actually make it waterproof. If I had purchased this jacket just as a windbreaker, I would have given it five stars. It does that job well. Just be sure to test the one that you get before you take it on a trip where you are going to rely on it keeping you dry.

Lightweight, waterproof, and packs down small!
4 months ago
I've been wearing this raincoat on days with freezing winter-time rain in Rhode Island and it has been a great outer layer. It is more lightweight compared to my older raincoat, but has proved to be waterproof on longer walks/hikes. The armpit zips are a must have too! Packs down quite small, which is great news for future backpacking and bikepacking trips. I'm 5'7, 150lbs, with wider hips and the M fits perfect. The sleeves are a little long on me, but I prefer it that way so my hands can be partly shielded from the rain if I'm riding my bike.

Great Rain Jacket!
5 months ago
I love a good rain jacket. I've been wearing this jacket through an unusually dry winter here in AZ, but for the little bit of snow we've gotten it has been perfect since it hasn't been too cold. I like to wear this over a sweater for those wetter-warmer days. We get a pretty significant monsoon in AZ so I am looking forward to having this light-weight option instead of my normal coat in the summer months. I've never owned a rain jacket with pit zips, I'm not sure I would have put that on my list of must haves, but it is certainly a nice to have. Especially if you plan on wearing this while you exercise, it let's in a comfortable enough breeze to cool you off while keeping you dry. I suspect come summer I'll appreciate it more. The front pocket is spacious enough for my phone, I have a bad habit of keeping my phone in my back pocket which is not ideal when it rains. The chest pocket keeps it safe and easily accessible. I'm mixed on the hood drawstring, it is located on the back of the hood, it is nice not to have it in my face, but I didn't realize it was there until recently. I love the waist and wrist adjustment on this jacket, it is great for layering. I like to keep my jacket fitted to my body. The adjustments allow me to change the fit based on my layers. Big fan of that feature! Overall I like the jacket, it is very light, easy to stuff into it's stuff sack, or a backpack and keeps you dry.

Great Hiking Jacket and Top Layer
5 months ago
I wasn't sure about the brown color of this jacket, but it is actually quite a nice color. The jacket is warm but lightweight. This is not the jacket for a summer hike in the rain but it is ideal for fall and winter hikes where the weather is cooler and wet but not freezing cold. I wore this in Texas during our unusually cold weather as a top layer over a fleece layer and it did a great job blocking the wind and cold. This is not a running jacket. Definitely feels like "too much" for a run unless you are running in pouring rain. Best uses are hiking and walking the dog. The fit is great. I love that it has a feminine fit and is not boxy like other rain jackets.

Raisin REI Raincoat is a must

Love the raisin colored rain coat! I got it in a large to accommodate any layers underneath to get the most use out of it and it’s great! Love all the pocket positions, Velcro at the sleeves and the hood adjustment makes it work for any body type.

Great lightweight rain jacket
5 months ago
I love this jacket because: 1) the fabric is soft, flexible, and has give while remaining very waterproof 2) the fit is cute and functional at the same time 3) the hood stays on and in place, even in the wind 4) great pockets I got this rain jacket a size down from my usual (XS instead of S) with the intention of using it for warmer wet days, rainy biking, and backpacking -- it has been great! So far I've mostly used it for biking the kids to school in the rain on a cargo bike, and around town / walks in the rain. It kept me very dry and warm enough with a small layer underneath! The fabric is very soft and flexible while remaining waterproof. Even with a snugger fit, the fabric and fit combine to allow good movement and extension without feeling flappy or oversized (for example, the sleeves are long enough and the fabric allows stretching to keep my wrists dry while my arms are extended to ride a bike). The hood is roomy enough to fit a hat under, but not so big that it blows off in the wind (there's an adjustment toggle on the back and the front zips up nice and high which keeps it in place). I like the size and placement of the 3 pockets -- big enough to fit keys, a phone, some chapstick. The zippers are covered well and the contents stay dry. Overall, very happy with this rain jacket for everyday life / quick bike rides in the rain / hiking or backpacking when it's not too cold.

Lightweight with good features and coverage
5 months ago
This jacket is lightweight but provides plenty of coverage. I like the vents in the armpits, the long sleeves, and the roomy hood (space for a pony tail and cinches easily to keep from blowing off, unlike many rain jacket hoods). Good quality zippers too. And it can be packed into its own pocket for stashing. The material was plenty water resistant the first couple times I use it (see up close photos I shared). We'll see how it holds up long term.

Soft, quiet and breathable
3 months ago
I was trying to decide between this jacket and the Patagonia torentshell rain jacket. After having both physically to test out ie touch and feel, I went with this rei one. Although I love what Patagonia stands for and that they stand behind their products for the life of the product I ultimately chose the rei one because it was softer, quieter, allowed for more movement and felt breathe-able. Patagonia’s was stiff, crinkly sounding and a bit restrictive around the throat. The Patagonia jacket is $179 vs the Rei is $189. The only think I liked better with the Patagonia one besides the slightly cheaper price are their color choices.

I stayed Dry!
5 months ago
I wore this jacket during a 2-day/ 8hrs/day orienteering event where the weather was cold, wet, and windy and it held up great! Sure, my back got wet where sweat from my pack soaked through- but you gotta expect that with anything but a trash bag. Everywhere else the jacket performed well. I had previously purchased the Flash Stretch and returned it after just a few wears because it failed to keep me dry- so I was hesitant to try the XeroCloud 3L, but I was pleasently surprised. It has a few less pockets & ties than the Flash Stretch and certainly feels more plasticy thank the Flash, but the XeroCloud kept me dry and that's more important to me.

Great Reliable Jacket
4 months ago
I have the OG version of this jacket, and we just upgraded my wife to this newer one. Really lightweight, packable, waterproof as far as we have tested it, yet also nicely cut for a women’s raincoat. Yesterday we had to fix a roof leak in serious rain and this held up perfectly. Pictures from a wet beach walk with the dogs.
