Ground Nano Jacket - Waterproof Hard Shell (For Men)

Adirondacks are unforgiving and this jacket is light weight with heavy weight performance. An amazing layer for all 4 seasons. I even use it for golf!

$30 cheaper than the same jacket by North Face or Marmont. I've owned both brands, and the jacket is just as comfortable and waterproof.

very all around jacket and teamed up with a fleece

Decent jacket for a budget rain protection. Breathability was okay under normal conditions and medium activity level, you will get wet from the inside under heavy activity though. It is waterproof and seams are taped but the zipper is not waterproof, nor is there an adequate storm flap. Hood tends to be a floppy, would be nice to have some more adjustment (the jacket does have cinch cords to close the hood opening). The biggest downside is that the DWR coating was not, well, that durable. The jacket wets out quickly, especially after some use. Campfire smoke absolutely eliminated any beading and washing did not seem to bring it back. Bottom line, get it if you can find it on sale and want something cheap but still servicable, but I'd save up for a better shell if you're concerned about staying dry in sustained bad weather.

I work on a golf course and will wear this to work on rainy days

The jacket was made very cheaply. It resembles one of those $20 ponchos you buy at [...]except with a few extra zippers.
