Jacket was very good… maybe cut a little small though.

Stayed bone dry during a summer squall. Materials has some stretch so it allows a really full range on motion for casting a fly from the bow or when I ’ m plowing my skiff. So far I ’ m impressed.

5 Jim S.
I take this jacket everywhere I travel in Europe as well as the US. It packs into a small bundle and yet is very waterproof, light weight and comfortable. As all Simms products, it is very well made and fits well.

Love it nice and warm. Great for soccer season…. Love the side zip for when you sit down the coat doesn ’ t push up in you.

5 JoanP
[ The storm defender coat fits to size and is warm without being bulky. I like the length and all of the pockets. The blue color is like the color of your favorite faded jeans. Bring on winter!

This jacket is better in person than it is online. I purchased this specifically for traveling in the fall when there might be periods of rain. I needed a jacket that would provide warmth as well as protection from the rain. I have previously purchased a carhartt jacket with the description of a `` loose fit '' so I was familiar with sizing. I puchased the large and it is a perfect fit. I have to pay attention to measurements and sizing since I have a very full bust. Not only is it a perfect fit, I am also able to wear it over a medium weight hoodie if I should happen to need extra warmth. I tend to `` run cold '' so warmth is always a concern for me. My previous option to tackling the rain in chilly weather, was to wear a down jacket and then put a lightweight rain jacket on top of that. Peeling off the layers became very annoying when wet. This jacket should be a perfect solution for me. I am only 4' 11 '' and although I have short arms, the sleeves on this jacket are just fine. The velcro allows you to adjust how snug you need the wrist opening to be and I am able to adjust it so it provides protection and a comfortable fit. I chose the color black as it just works best for the color palette I gravitate towards. The interior and exterior pockets are great. There is an exterior zip pocket to the left of the zipper on the upper chest area, you will find it where the carhartt logo is located. My phone fits in here perfectly and makes for easy access when needed. The partial elastic at the waist provides a feminine touch and makes the jacket look less boxy. You have the side zippers and snap closure on each side at your upper thigh area if you should need a bit more width to the jacket. This might make it more comfortable when sitting, but for me, as I will be actively walking when wearing the jacket, keeping them zipped and snapped closed will provide more protection from the rain. It is definitely heavier than the packable/stowaway rain jacket I currently have, but as stated, I needed more warmth and not just rain protection. I 'm not terribly `` rough '' on clothing so I anticipate this jacket will last me for quite some time.

5 NicoleW
[ I love this coat. Lightweight but warm, long enough to cover my butt. It is wonderful to wear in the cold, windy winters in the Rocky Mountains.

5 CathyD
[ Best coat that I have ever owned. Warm, water repellant, comfortable and looks great.

I just bought this in case the weather ever warms up here in Ohio. I was looking for something just like this in the fall. The one I ordered from another store turned out to be more of a rain jacket. And I got another that was too thin. I love this! The style is so cute with a longer length in back. And the fabric the perfect weight. The sleeves are a tad long but I ’ ll roll them up. This will be perfect for transitional spring or fall weather.

5 Pjc1121
Love this jacket, nice material and very versatile.

I am so happy with this jacket. It ’s a perfect lightweight winter/fall jacket. I normally wear a medium on top but I sized down to a small which fit better. Love it!!!

I bought this jacket a month ago. It is a great coat for multiple seasons in New England and appears to have the Carhartt durability as always! DSG was fantastic with a price match from another retailer. They have a great selection of clothing for men and women!

5 Max Dre
This jacket is my go to for fast and light approaches, summit pushes, rainy day runs, the ski resort or around town because of it's clean look. It seriously can handle any weather conditions and is super light so you hardly notice it in your pack or on your back. I love the backpack compatible zippers, but wish there was an extra internal chest pocket. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

5 SETH B A
I used this coat as a great shell layer while climbing the Grand Teton and I would n't wish for anything else! It was perfect!

5
This shell has proven a perfect addition to time in the elements where protection is critical and weight is a factor. I have used this on a several volcano ski missions this past summer and spring. It packs light and provides the summit protection needed when wind is ripping and body temps are dropping. Marmot allotted a good amount of pockets without going overboard and the pit zips provide ventilation that allows you to tune your protection on the move without having to stop to layer up or down. When it comes to rain protection, it's hard to beat Gore. It also vents well for active pursuits.

[ Employee of marmot] I love my new mitre peak. Great athletic fit, pocket placement and tried and true GTX Active fabric.

Cotton, not really waxed. Contrast of tobacco matte and dark corduroy color is beautiful. Lining is the best color and goes with so much of the wine berry fall colors. It ’s casual, but looks elegant with some structure and collar, and button only- no zipper. My favorite feature is the pockets. They ’ re stylish but also has hand warmer pockets. I tried on SO MANY coats including Barbour before somewhat halfheartedly ordering this. I liked it so much I couldn ’ t return it! I wear ir all the time from work to weekend with sneakers to brown suede boots. All that said, it ’s not the most versatile, it ’s a two season coat where I live- early fall mid spring temps in dry weather. For the price one can get a capable coat. This is an accessory, so if you ’ re looking for that, it ’s a good option.

[ Employee of columbia] This is the second watertight I have purchased and I am always thoroughly impressed on how well it will keep me dry in the PNW rain. The fit of the coat is amazing and it's super breathable.

5 PaulJW
A great lightweight jacket to wear on an very cool morning or evening. Made from tightly woven nylon, it provides good ventilation to prevent sweating while providing protection from the rain. And, like all my gear that I wear in foul weather, I plan to spray it with additional waterproofing spray.

5 Stingrayy
Get caught above the tree line with a raging snow storm today in the Rockies with this jacket as an outer layer. It kept the wind and water out in 50mph wind which allowed me to keep moving down the tree line to seek safety.

5 J
I 'm an avid hiker in Colorado. I never go on a hike without this jacket. It's lightweight and super easy to pack. It keeps me completely dry on the trail and works great as a windbreaker as well. Very easy to layer on colder days. I started with just black, and have purchased two more colors since my first one 5 years ago. I 'm 5' 11 '' and 195 lbs, and the medium works well for me.

5 Brian123
I ’ ve had two of these now over the last 5- 6 years. I do a lot of saltwater fishing on the Northern California coast and this involves actively wading up to my waste in saltwater sometimes. This jacket combined with my waders keeps me dry very well. The first one I had the zipper failed on it after about 4 seasons of heavy use in saltwater so I can ’ t fault the product for that since just about anything will fail in saltwater. I bought a new one and am back out there staying dry and warm. These are really light too, I can see them as a budget backpacking rain shell option as well. I use mine for backpacking also but by ultralight backpacker standards this is not an ultralight jacket. That said it will keep you dry and it is a great wind breaker too. Can ’ t beat the value.
