Columbia Sportswear Granite Tors II Jacket - Recycled Materials, Waterproof (For Men)

So far,so good - I work in Oakland CA, and have been in two good rains since the jacket arrived. As others have commented, the sleeves are kind of silly long, but otherwise,I have no complaints. It keeps the water out, and even with a more athletic cut, I can layer OK underneath. Not much need to layer though - with only the two pocket/vents, it's gotten pretty warm inside on my brisk walks.

This is my raincoat for fishing...I have really enjoyed it!

I now have this jacket in both black and tusk colors. It's very comfortable, the material feels great, and it's relatively light for the construction. The modularity with Columbia's Interchange system is a huge benefit, as I can swap in and out fleeces and vests between this and other Columbia jackets. The ventilation capability is great from the long slash pockets down the front. My only complaint is that if you want to get into your pocket when it's raining you expose the entire vent. And no chest pocket for quick access, either. All in all, I really like the jacket.

Used this for a trip to Italy, can be packed in a very small space and still looks great when worn.

It's a comfortable & practical jacket for hiking. I was able to wear another fleece underneath and it fits nicely. However the zipper on the side keeps getting caught on the material. You have to zip it up very slowly otherwise it catches the material. One of the zipper is caught in mid-section and I'm wondering how to un-catch it.
