Light and portable
a year ago
Lightweight, self-storing jacket. Good as a "just in case" piece. Insufficient for sustained heavy rain.

Great lightweight option!

Great lightweight option, crazy how lightweight it is, but it did wet out within the first three times of wearing it. But nothing a little nik wax didn't fix!

Wind breaker or for summer rain. Not waterproof.
a year ago
I've had this jacket for a few years and it does exactly what I expected it to - I essentially use it as a wind breaker, for summer rain jacket, or as a second layer under my Aspire because it has elastic wrists and I always manage to get water up my sleeves. I would never pay full price for it, but because I got it discounted, it was totally a worthwhile investment for me. It's light and rolls up really well.

Not Great Waterproofing
a year ago
I owned this jacket for a year and find it is not nearly as waterproof as advertised! On a recent biking trip, I got soaked through. In general it was an ok windbreaker, but anything beyond a light drizzle lead to soaking through. I think for a light jacket it's fine, I've kept using it for wind and when light rain is possible, especially since it packs small. But for future trips where heavy rain is expected, I'll have to find something better.

Wets through instantly, do not buy
a year ago
Really disappointed in this jacket despite good reviews from external sites. From the moment I got it, it was not waterproof for even a slight drizzle. It wets through instantly. I tried washing it and re-treating it per OR's instructions, but it's still awful. Maybe ok as a windbreaker, but not worth that for the price. Really disappointing.

Failed in a storm
a year ago
I remember when OR gear used to be absolutely bombproof -- I still have a pair of gators that I bought in the 90s! Sadly, those days are gone. Bought this jacket for a thru-hike on the Colorado Trail this past summer. It was brand new and completely failed in a torrential downpour; I got absolutely soaked, and if it had been much colder, it could have been a serious situation. I do a lot of thru-hiking and backcountry travel, and I need to be able to rely on my gear (especially when it's brand new.) I won't be buying technical gear from OR in the future. I guess this jacket is appropriate for... misty conditions? A short walk in light rain? A stroll down to the cafe? But don't trust if it you're really going to be out in the elements.

Nice But Narrow on Bottom
a year ago
I’ve been looking for a very packable rain jacket to take on trips that are likely to have some rain but not much. I wanted a jacket with no Velcro which is hard to find. This jacket has none and is very lightweight so I decided to try it. I am 5’2” about 118 pounds and ordered the small thinking that would allow for some light layers underneath. The problem with this jacket and many others is they are cut so straight that there is little room in the hip area. With even a light layer it was very tight in the hips when zipped up. I wish outdoor clothing companies would realize that most women have hips!! I ended up getting a medium which fits really well except for the sleeves being too long. I can tuck them under.
Have not worn in rain yet but since I will only use for light rain I think it will be fine.
ConsPoor Fit
