Great deal
My wife bought this light weight rain jacket to wear on our summer vacation to London. While touring we were constantly dealing with numerous days of cold, dreary, and wet weather. The jacket kept me both dry and warm. I am 5'10" / 210lbs and the XL fit perfectly allowing enough room for a sweatshirt underneath. I found the vents under the arms to be very helpful in preventing excess sweating with the jacket zipped up. I have only had it for a few weeks; however, I would definitely recommend this jacket to a friend.

Great medium/light weight water proof, wind jacket
This jacket is a great light weight jacket that is water proof and wind proof jacket. I purchased a XXL jacket and it is a little snug when wearing a poly sweater but it is a great combo. If it realy pours I fall back on my Columbia Titanium coat. This great for spring in the NW. The hood is reasonable in size. I have a EB rain coat where the hood is to large. The zippers on the Hail Tech Jacket are great.

Great Purchase
This rain jacket is exactly what I've been looking for. It fit nicely and has a good lining. The seams are solid!! I would recommend to everyone. Decent price too.

Great Jacket for the price point!
So far, this jacket is exceding expectations: 1. Waterproof- Hiked in a fairly heavy downpour for a good six hours and was bone dry. Zippers on front and chest pocket sealed well with no leaks. 2. Wind resistant- The lining gives the jacket a little extra help in that department, but remember this is a shell not a winter coat. If the wind chill is brutal, layers will fit easily under this jacket and you'll be thankful for them. 3. Fit- As I said before it is roomy enough underneath to layer, but still not bulky. Nice slender fit with longer arms and torso. My dimesions are: 6'3", 202lbs, 43"chest, 33"waist and the large is just about perfect. Special Note: the material on this jacket has an almost soft texture to it. Many traditional shells are almost rigid in their feel and make considerable noise when moving around. This material is very quiet and comfortable. As for it's durability, have had it in some harsh brush 2 or 3 times now and it seems unaffected. About the only thing I don't like is the fact that there is no elastic in the cuffs, just a simple hook and loop velcro system. Most jackets seems to be going that way, just a personal preference I guess. If you are looking for a quality lightweight waterproof shell and don't want to "shell" out well over $100.00(sorry, couldn't help myself), the Hail Tech Jacket by Columbia is the way to go!
