Cotopaxi  Impermeo 3L Hooded Shell Jacket - Men's

This jacket is advertised as offering "full weatherproof protection" but the one I got may have been defective because after wearing it on a rainy hike, I got quite wet. The jacket was soaked through in many places (see photos). It also runs a little big. A shame because I like the design a lot.

I recently picked up the Cotopaxi Impermeo 3L Hooded Shell Jacket in Men’s Large, and it’s been great so far. The fit is true to size, roomy enough for a light layer underneath but not baggy. I’ve worn it during several summer rainstorms here in Florida, and it does a solid job keeping my upper body dry. The material feels lightweight and breathable, which is perfect for humid conditions, and the hood provides good coverage without limiting visibility. Overall, it’s a dependable shell for wet weather and worth the investment if you need a rain jacket that performs well in a warm climate.

My measurements fit an XL which is what I bought. Can't raise my arms even parallel to shoulder before things start bunching up, the armhole is massive and way too low. Arm length definitely shorter than advertised, certainly would not hold up to a drizzle because the cut is so poor.

being a "shell" jacket, you expect some room for layers underneath. I wanted some extra wiggle room, so i got a Large instead of usual Medium. However, I really had to guess at this because the closest to any measurements i could find was "regular fit" and descriptions of the models (but that only applies to Medium in this case). . . even here, having to select "Runs large" could be confusing TO YOU, dear reader. good luck! regarding the jacket itself, it's great. comfortable and keeps warm. haven't been in the rain yet, but i'm sure i will.

The Impermeo is amazing in every facet. Given, I haven't worn it for that long, but it is soooooo comfortable. I love the stretch, the pockets, and especially the pit zips. Every detail was well executed and planned out on this jacket. Love that the hood is huge like many others and fits really well and secure when you need it to be. It packs down small, is lightweight, and again, super comfortable. A small exception and recommendation would be to add drop pockets on the inside.

I’ve not had a chance to use this in the rain yet, but it feels like it will serve its purpose well. It kept me warm on a cold morning (about 40 degrees Fahrenheit), with enough warmth to keep me comfortable on a brisk morning but breathable enough so that I wasn’t sweating where the jacket makes direct contact with my arms like my cycling jacket does. I’ve received a lot of compliments on the color, and it goes well with the blue stripe Cotopaxi beanie and navy Adelante pants. One thing to note is the arm vents. There is no mesh for the vents, they’re just open holes. Not a big deal and something that I’m used to from my other jackets, but just something to be aware of if you’re expecting some kind of barrier when venting the sleeves. You can kind of feel the zippers when they’re closed, but it’s not uncomfortable in any way.

I needed a new rain coat and so glad I picked this up. I purchased a petite small men's jacket even though I'm female. I preferred the color of the men's jacket and the fit is roomy enough wihtout being overly large. It's been a rain spring, so I've ample opportunities to try it out. The pockets are just right, which is a small detail, but those small details matter. Like all of the cotopaxi gear I've purchased, it seems to be really well constructed.

I have had my new 3L rain jacket for a few weeks and recently was able to try it out. We recently had some wet snow and rain here in the northeast. This jacket worked great keeping me dry. It did great at blocking wind as well. I like that it can be packed into its own pocket and I can bring it to work with me. I work outside most all the time and this jacket comes with me every day. I’m 6’ and 150lbs and a medium fits great.

It hasn't rained much since I got the jacket, so I can't speak to the waterproofness of it. However, it looks great and is pretty comfy. The fabric is light and soft. The fit is just a bit weird for me. The collar pops up in front of my mouth a bit too much when the hoot is down, and it feels a bit too snug across the chest and overly roomy around the stomach. I'm 5'11" and 175 lbs with a 31-in waist and ordered a medium.

Purchased this after trying on several waterproof shell jackets in various stores. Found this one to have the most comfortable material - not stiff or plastic like and fit me better than the competition. Feels breathable. Not yet worn in downpour so can’t speak to this aspect - but hoping what I’ve read in other reviews is true that it will stand up to its waterproof promise. Overall well satisfied.
