GoLite Gamut Hooded Jacket - Waterproof (For Men)

The laminate on this jacket will come off if you rub it with a sponge or put it in the washing machine. Completely. this is an attractive jacket but laminates should last longer than that. As a rainjacket this thing is junk once you wash it.

I have returned the 2XXL for an XL. The sleeves were very long and no elastic or draw string, so they were uncomfortable. I am long armed too.

I recently took this jacket on a backpacking trip. I love it. When it gets wet, the water rolls off instantly. It's as if water never even hit it. It's also very lightweight and packed easily into side pockets of my backpack. The only downside is that the jacket only comes to about my waist (I'm 5'11). It could use an extra inch or two in length, but other than that it's a great jacket.

Great product at a great price. Small, lightweight and packable in a fanny pack. That was what I was looking for for under $75. This jacket fit the bill and passed my first use in wet humid weather.

This is a good product for use around town. It is a great fitting jacket but I am upset that the bottom of the coat does not have elastic to allow it to be drawn tight to the body. I also would like to see adjustable wrist cuffs on this coat as well.

A no nonsense waterprrof jacket. It could have more features but would then be heavier and more expensive. It is not the most breathable rainwear out there and that is the only legitimate complaint about the jacket. It does what it was made for almost perfectly.

I bought this jacket to replace my Marmot Pre-cip, along with the Go-light pants of the same Trinity material. I love the fit of both as it is very comfortable- stretchy, breathable. Normally I wouldn't gripe about trimming features for weight savings but there are a few key features missing from the jacket. No provision for closing the sleeve cuffs is a real bummer. No draw string closure for the waist either and the waist while not too short, hits right at the belt. It would be nice to have a touch more length and a draw string closure. The hood has a velcro tab to keep it down when not in use, but this seems like a silly feature when you consider the lack of the other more important ones. Also, the front zipper is tough to get open at the bottom. I have the same prblem with the full lenght leg zips on the pants. Probably even harder with gloves on. I wouldn't recomend it for serious alpine pursuits, But nice for hiking.

This jacket has no wrist closures, either velcro or snaps. Water will run down your sleeves if it rains and wind protection is limited. [...]

I like this jacket because you can use it for cool mornings or rainy weather.
