I will use this as my 3 season parka for outdoor activities. I’m 5’10” and the jacket sits a little long = just above mid-thigh, 10-11” below the waist. The arms are a bit long, 24” from pit to cuff. The color is a bit more olive than the green you see in the online photos (sunny photos attached). Plenty of pockets, but only one internal pocket. Also, the side pockets are at ~9” above the bottom of the jacket. Put zips are not full length as shown, but the zippers work good vs. Outdoor Research jackets. The jacket is lightweight compared to my BD Recon shell and it is definitely packable. Overall fit is slim and tall like most BD clothing.
I was surprised pulling this out of the package at how thin and lightweight it is. However, it kept me dry during 4 hours of rain the other day. The only downside is that it's a little bigger/baggier than expected. Maybe size down.
I’ve owned a lot of rain jackets in my time. They mostly start good, this one is great so far. I especially like that it’s long to cover my butt or account for layers. Ultimate test is will I still like it in two years.
Purchased for early season 14er. At the summit all I had on was this and a base layer and it kept me just warm enough not to sweat. Fabric feels high quality and folds up super small and incredibly light.
5’10” 185 athletic build, bought the medium and fits perfect. Color looks great, and could not be more excited to try it out later this month. Great job BD.
Seems like a well-made rain jacket. The fit it really great ( 5'11" 187#). I haven't put it to a real test as yet.
Killer jacket I highly recommend! Can’t wait to do some alpine climbing with it. 👊🏻⚡️🇺🇸
I found super light and comfortable fit. BD Dry works incredible and breaths really good.
