I bought this rain jacket for its packability and breathability. While it is comfortable and lightweight, it did not hold up against PNW rain. On several occasions, the jacket was soaked through within 1 hour of steady rain while hiking. I was left soaked through and cold. Would only recommend wearing this jacket out on short stints of rainshowers and nothing more. Returned to REI as it won’t work for the precipitation levels in my area.
Maybe I am expecting too much but I found that this jacket soaked through much more easily than I wanted. I wore it as an outer shell during a surprise snow storm while camping and after 2-3 hours the jacket was soaked and my down layer below was wet. The jacket was still drenched the next day. Comfy but I wouldn’t rely on.
