Good waterproof/breathable rain-jacket for price
I love this raincoat. It is really great for Seattle in the winter. It does not look boxy but large enough for me to wear a fleece underneath. I like the hood too, it big to cover my hair from being wet.
Mtn. Hardwear
This raincoat rocks. I got it for backpacking through the Beartooth Mountains this summer and it did its job well. It keeps water out while still letting my skin breathe. I got it in lava red and absolutely adore the color. It does run a little large though. I'm 5'9 and got a medium and can easily fit a thick hoodie underneath.
Great feminine looking rain jacket
I love everything about this jacket! The sleeves are nice and long. I am 130 5'9". I have not worn it in a down pour yet only light rain and I stayed totally dry. It is not the heaviest jacket, but for my purposes in Florida and hiking in NC in an unexpected rainfall, it is great. My sister has a Marmot that is a little heavier, but it is also boxier looking. This one is as attractive as you can get for a rain jacket. Love the light blue color too.
Great jacket!!!!
The jacket length covers half of my backside and while not snug, there is not much room for anything under it. Sleeves are about 1" too long but velcro keeps them in place. I hiked 2 hours in the rain, at 80 degrees, with pit zips open. I was a bit clammy, which would have been the case in my other rain gear which weighs 10 times as much and is stiff. My cell phone in the chest pocket stayed dry. This jacket, in orange,looks great and is light weight.
Perfect shell
Even though I'm tall (5'8"), I wear a small in most of my gear. Mountain Hardware tends to be the only exception - I need them to make a size right in between their small and medium :) It really is just a shell, so I probably should've gone with the medium so that I'd be able to better layer a lightweight sweatshirt or fleece under it in cooler rains. But vanity ultimately won out, so I went with the small for the slightly more feminine fit. I love all the pockets - especially on the sleeve - and love that they all zip, ensuring my chapstick and keys are still there when I come down off the mountain. It keeps me totally dry, and the visor seriously keeps the rain out of my face. I definitely recommend it.
