Good quality, similar to GoreTex By Dr. Rosie from Bolingbrook, IL on 11/17/2009 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Stylish, Waterproof, Wind Resistant Cons: Not Enough Pockets or Features Best Uses: Backcountry, Casual Wear, Hiking Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels true to size Gear Usage: Spring or Fall Apparel Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Bought jacket mainly for casual rainwear. The fabric is midweight, definitely not windbreaker material, and similar to GoreTex. I like the its styling, classic enough to be worn for a few years. Long enough to cover the buttocks. The cons are: prefer lining inside pockets for additional warmth, no chest pocket or dual zipper, prefer to have a parka style but hard to find at reasonable price. Overall, a good product and must not wear cotton to maintain breathability.
Excellent buy. Nice fit & color. By HeidiHo from PA on 09/29/2009 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Stylish, Warm, Waterproof, Wind Resistant Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels true to size Gear Usage: Rainy Windy Days Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a nice looking, casual raincoat, I bought the burnt orange/red orange color and really like it. It is waterproof, as advertised, and a windbreaker too. The hood seems to be a bit large but has draw strings for easy adjustment. I would have liked it a bit longer but it is the advertised length. Overall, I'm very pleased with it.

By dab15 from Maine on 09/02/2009 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight Cons: Constricts Movement, Too short, Too small in hips Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Chest Size: Feels true to size Gear Usage: Hiking, Trekking Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: All the Lowe Treklite jackets have a couple nasty design flaws: The new models are too short for good coverage sitting down (3" shorter than older Lowe jackets).. They also sport a ONE-WAY zipper rather than the more common 2-way parka zipper. These jackets are just long enough that when zipped, the jacket binds if you squat down or sit. I was really disappointed as I had high hopes that this would be "the one" to replace my 15-yr old Lowe Treklite jacket that finally died.

Nice jacket but there's too much collar.

Not as waterproof as it should be By Annie Search and Rescue K9 from Ketchikan, AK on 11/07/2008 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Stylish Cons: Huge hard to adjust hood, Not Enough Pockets or Features, Not Waterproof Describe Yourself: Advanced Chest Size: Feels true to size Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living, Rain forest hiking Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I'm disappointed with this coat. The last Lowe Alpine rain coat I had was awesome in the almost daily downpours we have, with the best hood I've ever had. This coat has a ridiculously huge, impossible to adjust hood. That would be tolerable, but I hike one to four hours per day in a rain forest. This coat soaks through on my arms every single day. I'm returning it for a refund.
