Just what I needed
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I needed a rain jacket that protected me from both rain and wind as my 2-day fishing trip was in an open, fast boat in cool weather. Jacket held up and is ready for my next adventure. I had previous version of jacket (lost it) and I was a little concerned that this newer version may not be as robust. But, like I said, it did the job and is ready for the next one.

Nice Jacket

Roomy, great side zipper vents, and of course, the best active rainwear. Passed the test of a two hour bike ride in a steady rain with flying colors.

No room for a puffy underneath
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
I am 5'11," 180 lbs and ordered a size L. Nice jacket, but fits stylishly snug instead of what I expected: room for a puffy, a heavy sweater, or something else underneath. Consider ordering one size up.

Garbage
Used three times. Got wet all three times. The water soaks right through the fabric. Not even an issue of just at the cuffs. All over the place.

Will keep you dry in PNW weather.
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Ok finally I was able to test this jacket throughly. I live in PNW and I just did a hike of 8 miles under constant rain with some cover, but it rained constantly from the beginning to the end. We were going at a slow pace, accruing over 4.5 hours. This was also a fairly easy hike with 1000 ft elevation gain, which was perfect to objectively check how good this jacket would do. And it excelled. I managed to stay dry, not even my mid-layer got humid. So if you live in a similar type of weather, I would recommend. On the transpiration side, well, that's tricky, it's good, but not even the best of the best will avoid trapping sweat IMO. However, yes, the bigger arm pit holes do the trick of refreshing you and keeping you mostly dry. It runs true to size, I got an L hoping to properly fit my arms (have long arms) and it does run a bit large on me, for my other jackets I'm M, and I think M would suffice with this one, but didn't want to risk it.
