Exactly What I Was Looking For
My husband and I are going on a 5 day guided kayaking trip in Alaska this summer. This will be a new experience for us, and we are shopping for the entire outfit based on our guide's recommendations. We were delighted to find this jacket and other items on sale at altrec.com, but I was concerned about whether it would fit properly, which is very important for a 5 day trip that might be rainly the whole time. Well, I cannot believe how perfect this jacket is for a kayak trip. I am 5'9" and 140 pounds and ordered the large. The sleeves are the correct length, and it is just loose enough to wear over a couple layers of clothing should it be on the cool side during our trip. I took it out in the rain, recently, and I found it did the job well. It is fairly lightweight for being waterproof, so I don't feel constricted and will be able to paddle for hours on end!

Great Jacket
I love the material of this jacket. It has a very silky but durable well made feeling to it. Did some research on the company that makes it, Helly Hansen, based in Oslo, Norway makes sports gear and textiles for sports, work on the ocean, and the mountains. Quality is seriously good and a lot of their jackets sell for a steeper price. This is just a simple rain jacket, but it's a great deal, and a well made jacket. I got the buzzsaw red color, it's not a dark red but a bright red. Took me a little while to get used to the color, but now i love it!!

Excellent Jacket
I already had the pants and wanted the jacket. The samll runs a little big but it is perfect for layering.
