VIEV Gore-Tex® Mid-Length Hooded Jacket - Waterproof

Be aware, the black color I received did not have a 2 way zipper, but the orange color does. Runs big, I'm normally between M and L. I kept the M (still has room for layers). Worked great in last storm. Only downside is no pit zippers, otherwise great jacket.

I got a large & im usually a large but I think this jacket runs a little big. I think I could wear a medium, I am not sure if I want to exchange it yet or not. It’s definitely got a 2-way zipper, I’m not sure what jacket the other reviewer was reviewing, but I couldn’t have been this one. The hand pockets are very generous in size & have small pockets inside them. There’s also 2 inside zippered pockets. The cuffs have inner cuffs with elastic & snaps that make the sleeves work for different arm lengths. I’m only 5’4 & the sleeves are not too long on me in a size large due to these cuffs. There’s also a nice collar that snaps inside the hood to make it more wind resistant. It’s high quality 3 layer seam sealed gortex. It was originally $450, so $49 is a steal for it. I got the black absence which is dark grey, not black, but at this price, I might want a second color. There’s not a wire in the hood brim as the description states, but it is adjustable.

Other than the zipper, not a bad shell. The sleeves have a snap to keep out the cold and snow. Seems to run pretty true to size but maybe slightly on the smaller side.

Ordered this and the longer insulated one. It's not as boxy looking as in the pics. Keeping both but prefer this one. The construction of this jacket is impeccable, it's light weight, and well thought out for city use. Sleeves are the perfect length. I'll use these jackets as shells in 40°F and up (layering accordingly). I'm 5'1" 115lbs and ordered XS. Viev XS fits similar to a Marmot S.
