By Crash and Total from Custer County, CO on 10/02/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight, Warm, Windproof Best Uses: Cold Weather, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Used as top coat to cut wind and rain while riding ATV at 10,000 feet. Also used as weather gear for Search and Rescue missions. Bought larger than needed to go over heavy clothing. So far it has done an excellant job of keeping me warm and dry.

The small size is a great fit for him. I read other reviews and realized it'd fit him perfectly.
More features than my older Lowe Alpine By Benjamin from Connecticut on 09/12/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Lightweight, Warm, Waterproof Best Uses: Casual Wear, Extreme Conditions, Hiking and Camping, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have a ten year old Lowe Alpine Jacket. It's mostly orange with blue sleeves and still functions fine. I liked the idea of a more conservative dark blue and this looks great.
I have one thing I don't like about this one and that is how many velcro patches run along with the zipper. I takes too much time to get it adjusted properly when putting it on or taking it off.
Stay dry even under a waterfall.

By Lars from Pennsylvania on 07/10/2009 Best Uses: Casual Wear, Cold Weather Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sleeve Length: Feels too long Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a well designed albeit heavy jacket. The material is Triple point, a material that has held up very well in another Lowe Alpine jacket I have had for 8 years. The collar is fleece-lined, a nice feature in my book. The jacket is long - the bottom of the jacket stretches to your fingertips when you put your arms down. The jacket is also lined which adds to its weight. The zippers are "coarse" so a fine zippered fleece will not zip into it. The overall fit is big - my medium is almost the same size as my old large jacket. I ended up returning the jacket as it didn't suit my needs. For uses, due to its weight I would say it is best for casual things as I would want something lighter for summer protection and something a little more technical for winter. However for general protection it should be very dry and warm.

The zipper is a bit of a problem, especially for men used to a right-handed zipper. Moisten it with saliva to get it started.
Nice heavy weather jacket. By Don the wilderness guy from Maine woods on 06/02/2009 Best Uses: Cold Weather, Hiking and Camping, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great heavy weather coat.
Lots of pockets and closures.
By Chet from North Jersey on 05/26/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Windproof Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I felt the jacket was a little bit large at first, but I got used to it. Its long, so it extends down when you sit to keep your butt dry. Nice Jacket.
great jacket, but zipper on wrong side By anonymous from northwest on 04/08/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Lightweight, Waterproof Best Uses: Casual Wear, Hiking and Camping, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Ordered this for my husband who needed a lightweight, packable shell that didn't look overly sporty or flashy. He loved the fit and quality of the jacket as well as the color - but the zipper was a dealbreaker. The jacket zips on the left side and all his other coats zips or button on the right - too bad, is a great jacket.
Good jacket for around town. By anguilla from white plains, ny on 04/04/2009 Best Uses: Zipper on opposite side Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I like the jacket. Just what I expected. Good for wearing around town on rainy days or taking to the ballpark in case it rains. Full length, comes down fully over hips. Collar has a light fleece covering, which is comfortable. Comfortably get a light fleece under it. Lots of attention to detail, well constructed. The only negative is that the zipper is on the opposite side it normally is, takes a few minutes to get used to, but after that OK
