Comfortable, warm, functional jacket By HikeRunFrisbee from Cambridge, MA on 10/29/2009 Pros: Stylish, Warm, Waterproof, Wind Resistant Best Uses: Backcountry, Casual Wear, Hiking, Spectating outdoor events Describe Yourself: Competitive Athlete Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I purchased this jacket over the other, more well known brands because of the features it advertised: zip-off hood, deep pockets. I am happy with that and was also surprised at how soft and non-crinkly the fabric was. It is also most substantial than I expected (have previously only purchased rain shells), but it is nice for being in New England, since I can wear only that over a t-shirt. So far, it's completely waterproof, although I haven't had the "opportunity" to stand outside for several hours in a steady rain, which was way I bought it. The only significant issue I forsee with this jacket is no pit zips.
By savvy shopper from San Francisco on 10/17/2009 Pros: Lightweight, Stylish, Waterproof Best Uses: Casual Wear, Hiking Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I love this jacket for it's style, high quality construction and materials, color, length, fit, and technical design. I am 5'4", 118 lbs, wear mostly a size 4 petite in american sizes (ie. Banana Republic). I got a small. I have been looking for a jacket to fit me perfectly for a while now. I wanted something long to cover my butt when it rains. This jacket design has a shaped flattering trim cut, but still big enough for a light to medium weight sweater underneath for insulation. 2 pockets on the outside, and 2 pockets on the inside. I like how many rain jackets have a hidden zippered breast pocket that can be accessed without unzipping; unfortunately this jacket does not. But it's overall design, and quality make make up for it. Nice hood, good adjustability, removable, but does not store in collar. Nice color- a grayish blue-green. More subtle than bright. Haven't worn it in the rain yet, but being that it is gore-tex, I can't imagine that it won't keep me dry. Great for anyone from casual to advanced gear seekers.
