It was perfect protection from the elements. I recommend layering for very cold temps, I did and was very comfortable. I'll get great use out of this jacket!

This is going to be my new go-everywhere backup rain jacket for everything from work to travel to outdoor adventures. This is exactly what I was looking for and I am absolutely pleased with this product.
By Silvia from LI on 05/21/2009 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Stylish, Waterproof, Wind Resistant Best Uses: Backcountry, 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: Great for damp and wet weather hiking. This jacket is super light, but needs a warm layer of clothing underneath in cold temps.
By tetonfun from Driggs, ID on 05/03/2009 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Waterproof Best Uses: Backcountry, Hiking Describe Yourself: Competitive Athlete Chest Size: Feels true to size Gear Usage: Mountain Recreation Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is there are no pit zips. I don't normally use them, but some people can't live without. This is the perfect jacket if you are looking for something lightweight, packable that still defends the elements. The sleeves are long enough for Mountain Biking, the hood packs up nicely. This could save you in an unexpected snow storm.
Love this tough little jacket! By Mary Hates Heat and Rain from New York, NY on 04/19/2009 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Stylish, Waterproof, Wind Resistant 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: Great super-lightweight waterproof jacket with hood - long enough to be useful, short enough not to entangle you. I bet I still have it a half-dozen years from now - seems incredibly well made.
By Nun on the Run from Wisconsin Northwoods on 03/18/2009 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Stylish, Waterproof Best Uses: Backcountry, Casual Wear, Hiking Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels too small Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: A little small in the chest so ordered next size up. Can't believe how lightweight it is and yet just as functional as heavier weight Goretex jackets
It Should be a Good Purchase By emotd from northern california on 11/28/2008 Pros: Lightweight, Waterproof, Wind Resistant Describe Yourself: Advanced Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought this as a gift,and being a guy, I can't tell if the chest size is a proper fit or not???

By travel chick from the world on 06/20/2008 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Warm, Waterproof, Wind Resistant Describe Yourself: Advanced Chest Size: Feels true to size Gear Usage: Adventure travel Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I travel the world and I wanted a light weight waterproof jacket that looks stylish whilst also being very practical and waterproof. Goretex was an attraction and also the ability to pack it down to a small size. Really impressed with the service of Sierra Trading. Product was ordered online from the UK. Very happy and love the orange colour. :)
By faithful STP shopper from indianapolis, IN on 06/13/2008 Pros: Breathable, Lightweight, Waterproof, Wind Resistant Cons: Crinkles not soft, No pit vents Best Uses: Anywhere anytime Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels true to size Gear Usage: Summer lightweight, Travel Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Gore-Tex replaced a 10+ year old jacket of mine when coating failed. The replacement jacket is better than original, but also heavy duty. I am a worshipper of Gore-Tex and a lifetime faithful customer. This jacket is terrifically lightweight yet still waterproof and breatheable.
