The good part was the product was delivered within 4 days of the order. The bad part was the jacket was way too big for me. I tried to follow the sizing chart but it's misleading. Particularly the waist sizing is off. I ordered a Large based upon waist but the jacket was like wearing a tent. I sent it back. This is not the first time I've been burned by trying to follow the sizing chart on a product. And having to pay for a return is aggravating. Why bother ordering on line?
Great jacket for the rain. I got this for my trip to Yosemite for a hike and the jacket did not disappoint!!! The pit zips are a plus if you get warm/ hot hiking with a jacket or just in general!
This jacket finally arrived yesterday after a mishap with shipping. After unfortunately losing my XeroCloud 3L that I'd only had for a couple months, I bought this on sale as a replacement. The fabric is what I expected from 70 denier: it's crinkly and heavyish, more similar to a Torrentshell than the XeroCloud. I had some issues with the XeroCloud wetting out, though, and so far, this jacket seems to be more waterproof. My two complaints: 1) it seems excessively large – it seems about 2" bigger in the body and shoulders than typical for a men's small, and about 3" longer in the sleeves, which cover almost my entire hands before I velcro them. I'm 5' 6," ~140lbs, and fit pretty squarely in a Men's S with a 38 chest, but this is big. 2) the pit zips have a one-way zip, and open upward instead of zipping down – haven't tested it on trail yet, but seems to be backwards and less convenient
Not suitable for southeastern rain showers. The jacket keeps me decently dry, but water puddles in the pockets. After a moderate shower, there was probably 1/4 cup of water in each pocket, which I don’t know can be attributed to condensation and makes the pockets useless for storage. It also does not breathe well in the humidity of NC.
