I bought this for a hiking trip and it was perfect! I was in CA and I didn ’ t want to be too hot but also wanted to protect from the rain. I wasn ’ t sweating but it ’s definitely waterproof and kept me warm from the rain. So comfortable and definitely recommend! It ’s more expensive than I usually spend but it makes me feel better knowing I ’ m supporting an ethical/ sustainable business.

I am so happy I got this coat for the torrential rains that are happening in California right now. I usually wear a medium... sized up to a large and I am glad I did. The sleeves are long enough to hide my cold hands and I 'm able to wear layers underneath for warmth. It still looks good. My L covers my butt( 5' 6 '', 34DD, short arms, 145 lbs.) Love the visor to shield my glasses. This will be comfy to wear in summer storms, too... the pit zips are handy, 2 outside large zippered pockets. The coat is not heavy but it is substantial.

I bought this for a trip into the rainforest, and wore it on a boat trip that took us underneath the Iguazu falls in Brazil where we got I can ’ t even count how many gallons of water dumped on us at once, and it not only kept me dry but my phone too in the pocket. If that ’s not a testament to how great this rain jacket is I don ’ t know what is! Also it packs down so small which is super convenient and makes it easy to take on trips where ounces count. Can ’ t recommend enough!

Very pleased with the color of the white jacket( it's a chalky white); own the black and magenta; sized up to accommodate bulkier sweaters underneath. Love Patagonia clothing and own several vests, jackets and pullovers that I have purchased on their website. Happy to know I can now purchase from Dick's.

Kitkat
I think Colombia is the only one that makes a fleece lined raincoat and I absolutely love it for cold rain. You CAN layer in other rain coats but when you just want a quick trip to take the dogs out in the rain in the cold weather nothing beats a warm rain coat when you don ’ t need a heavy winter coat. Keep making them!
5
CF
[ I recently got the Columbia rain jacket, and I ’ m really impressed. It ’s cute, comfy, and functional. I ’ m 5' 7 '' and 175 lbs, and the large fits me perfectly with plenty of room to layer underneath. The material feels well- made and durable. I also appreciate how it builds on design elements from their other jackets that I liked, such as the cinched waist. I haven ’ t had the chance to test it in the rain yet, but so far, I ’ m very happy with my purchase!

Cristen
[ I originally bought a black XXL because I 'm typically an XL and I wanted room for a sweatshirt underneath. It was waaay too big. I returned it at the store and after trying them on I got a Large in Stone. It is still comfortable with a sweatshirt underneath and the slightly fitted look creates a better silhouette. The stone is really pretty and a nice departure from typical black. It kept me warm in 37 degree weather yesterday. I spilled salsa on it and it came right off without staining since it is rain- proof material — hoping that will keep the stone color clean.

Best rain jacket ever! I bought this for a trip to Hawaii. I 'm under 5 feet tall and the jacket length was perfect. It has breathable fabric. Even in the humid weather of Hawaii, there was enough airflow to help me stay cool and also helped me stay warm when it was too windy out. The buttoned cuffs near the wrists were helpful as well. Super slick too!

JGrey
[ I love this jacket. It's a perfect weight to layer warmth underneath, or keep yourself cool on warm rainy days. It fits beautifully. I prefer light colors for visibility in stormy conditions, so I got the white/tan one. The internal drawstring at the waist is flattering. The hood WILL NOT blow down in wind. I wish they did n't use so much velcro on the front tab covering the zipper, but I do like the low profile effect of it, so it's a wash. I am 5' 8 '', 125# and I got the small.

I wanted it `` longish '', rain proof of course but also warm, zippered deep pockets, and a nice hood with good fastening abilities around the face. I just got back from an Alaskan cruise and wanted it specifically for this trip and an Antarctica one I have in January. It was perfect, performed well in all areas I wanted it to. I ordered an X Large in order to enable it to allow bulky sweaters and layers and it did the job!

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.

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.

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.

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.

[ As a rock climber, I need my adventures to be flawless& refined. The Helium rain jacket packs down into its pocket& I can clip it to my harness for instant on hand protection from the unpredictable Colorado weather.

[ This is a great rain/wind jacket. It's lightweight, does the job and-- best of all- quiet! Too many rain jackets are just loud and deafening to wear. Not this one. It has quickly become my go- to jacket for brisk, windy days when there's a potential for rain.

I am absolutely in LOVE with the color and warmth of this jacket! Just finished a Utah 10K wearing it, the weather started at 35 degrees with partial Sun and wind, and ended at 41 degrees. I wore this jacket with just a t shirt underneath, and stayed at the perfect temp the entire run!!! Omg I need more of these babies! I loved that I could fold up the hood, and all of the pockets. My last favorite detail is the hidden red buttons, as they are so cute and such a small but fun pop of color that can be hidden:)

The fit is amazing! I had to exchange the size and it was worth the wait. Living in Washington state the weather is starting to look amazing. The jacket is very light weight and layering is not a problem. This jacket will be used for both my races coming up Beat the Bridge and Rocking Roll half marathon!

RachelP
I REALLY like this jacket. The material is so light for a rain jacket/wind breaker. I wouldn ’ t recommend it in heavy rain, but lighter rain yes. But it packs down so small it ’s easy to stick in your vest or just wear with the backpack straps on it so it ’s there if any wind or storms pop up.

JeraldY
My daughter and I both used this jacket in a 50 mile race in Montana. Thunder storms in the morning, rain and hail in the afternoon. Not waterproof but kept you warm enough in bad conditions. Especially like the backpack feature! Well designed, lightweight and even has snaps to keep jacket from flapping when unzipped
$170.00

Super light and packable. It kept me nice and dry when needed. I found it runs small if you intend to put it over layers, recommend size up over a puffer like nano puff.

Joseph V
This rain jacket is super impressive. When it comes to traveling, camping, hiking, or even exploring new cities, countries, etc. You ca n't beat the portability of this jacket. It is super thin and light making it easy to roll up and store into any type of bag weather it's a backpack, purse, or even large fanny pack. Even for being so light and thin, it easily stops water from getting through. I 've had zero issues with any type of moisture getting inside either due to prolonged periods of water exposure or leaks through any seals and stitching. I will say, because it's so thin, in colder weather, you would need a warmer layer underneath to act as insulation. That being said, you might need to get one size up than normal so it can fit over any layers you need. Also, if you are traveling through any thick brush or scraping up against rocks, you need to be careful about scraping or snagging any sharp/rough surfaces too hard to prevent any micro/macro tears in the material. Being so thin, it's not super durable, but it's not very easily torn either. Overall fantastic product and highly recommend

Rf38585
This is a super light, rain shedding jacket. Is it 100% water proof? No, but no rain jacket is. It ’s breathable, and with proper mid layer moister management, you can hike all day in the rain and be as dry as you would be in any other rain jacket. Pairs great with alpha direct layer underneath.

5
Rob W.
I needed a jacket that would perform in a variety of extreme environments when going inside was not an option. This jacket filled this role perfectly and has kept me dry while exploring the north Maine Woods more recently while hiking through the cloud rain forest in Costa Rica. On a cool rainy day, you can keep warm with all the vents closed and a puffy underneath. While in warmer humid weather, just open the massive vents on the sides and keep dry while still being able to `` breath '' and stop sweat from soaking you from the inside out. It is very weight efficient, easily packed, and well cut for the active user. The chest pocket is also a favorite feature of mine to safely store a cell phone while on the move yet keeping it easily accessible.

Odysseus
The new 3L Fabric is a huge improvement over the older Foray, it's robust, has just enough stretch, and overall is impressive. I was somewhat hesitant as they moved away from Gore but seeing it in person I am 100 percent a fan and it's better in every way. The only improvement, and OR please make this happen, is the branding. Make a Blacked out version without the contrasting logos, that would put this jacket as the best among the best.

Finally... A jacket that does what it says its going to do- so happy I purchased this. Excellent rain protection I experienced over 2 hours in medium rain on walk. No wet out, no leakage- water just ran off and kept me dry the whole time. Highly recommend this jacket for sure!

It's light and compact enough for my needs, and the stretch makes it comfortable to wear even with a pack over it, and when I 'm moving fast. I have the Black version and will use it for hiking in the Pacific Northwest, but also as an emergency shell while travelling for business.

Uncle Rob
[ Employee of mountainhardwear] Rain jackets are simple things. We expect them to be lightweight, packable, breathable and to not fail. But, when you add simple but effective features like stretch fabric and pit zips? Now you 've got my business. The Stretch Ozonic fits well leaving a little room for layering underneath. Some rain jackets are like saunas for me, so when I start to steam I love having pit zips to regulate my personal humidity. This does it for me.

I bought this in the early summer bc I was in desperate need of a new rain jacket( my old one was literally crumbling apart!). This past weekend I assisted in the rescue 7 people who were capsized in a pontoon boat. I dove into the water with phone and all in the pocket of this jacket. After the scary event ended I took my phone out of my pocket and was shocked to still see the phone screen activated! The phone still needed about 7 hours to completely dry out and let me charge it but it ’s completely fine now. Obviously this jacket isn ’ t meant to be submerged but the saving the phone of it all felt worth mentioning. This jacket is also WARM and I don ’ t feel like raindrops are still making me cold through the jacket. It ’s also a superb wind breaker. I wore it on a 5k ft hike and the wind at the top was bearable in this jacket. It ’s expensive but it WORKS.
$400.00
Packs down small and doesn ’ t weigh much which was an added bonus for the backpacking trip around the mountains here. ... I love the backpack compatible zippers, but wish there was an extra internal chest

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.

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.

[ I just received this jacket and it is amazing- very lightweight, warm, and cool looking. Question: What more could I want???? Answer: Cool weather and some hiking trails for a `` test drive ''. Although the price tag was scary high, it seems well made and will really pack well. It is a keeper. I am not sure about `` durability '' yet, but it seems to be well crafted.

[ I am 5 ’ 4 ” and 155 and I was worried the small would be too tight, but it ’s the perfect fit. I can ’ t believe how light the jacket is, but felt the warmth right away. The material is super thin, so I ’ m going to try my best to be careful with it.

I bought this specifically for big wall climbing and it was perfect for doing El Cap in a day( first trial run with the jacket!). It's light and packable, taking up minimal space in my day pack and was super easy to take on and off throughout the day between belaying and climbing. Pretty warm with a sizable hood. Pockets are roomy enough for an iPhone. I do wish it had a draw cord and packed into the pocket with a reversible tab for a carabiner( you can still pack it in the pocket, you just have to awkwardly clip to the zipper). One downside to the lightweight fabric is it's extremely fragile — I tore several small holes in the arms while mantling onto a granite boulder at the end of the day( the other down jackets I 've worn never had this problem, but they were much thicker). I also notice the feathers like to poke out of the fabric rather often, and have to frequently pull them back into the jacket. So: handle with care!

Measurements: 5' 6; 160lbs; M/8- 10 top with B cup; L/10- 12 bottoms Comparing the GW2 in Mojave Tan to UL in Golden Hour The UL:- lighter( duh)- runs big compared to the GW2- sheer, it looks splotchy/dirty- hood fits looser than the GW2- no draw cords- better elastic at the cuffs compared to GW2- SLIGHTLY brighter gold than Mojave Tan, beautiful color when the dark feathers are n't smudging it up* based on color alone, I would choose the UL. Mojave Tan has some pretty strong army brown vibes GW2- fits me better( even with fleece and base layers underneath)- sturdier, I am less afraid of brushing against a branch- draw cord around hips- Tighter fit hood( just around the face, the actual room within the hood seems the same)- Muted gold, pulls a little green Overall, I am going with the GW2. The fit is nicer, I am more worried about snags and holes than I am about saving a couple of ounces, and I miss the draw cord in the UL. It makes me sad though- that Golden Hour is so gorgeous! I would recommend this to only the ounce obsessed- it is a good jacket but not a HUGE upgrade form the GW2 to need the latest iteration.

[ It is exactly what my husband wanted and he can comfortably layer it over the sweater. It is true to size and is perfect to pack in a bag as a windbreaker or rain jacket for the unexpected weather that you did not plan. He plans to keep it in his car.

Bought this for cycling in the light rain. Nice fit and weight. I 'm 6' 3 '' and 200 lbs. and a large is a nice slim fit. Packs down small and is easy to stow. Not 100% waterproof, but kept me mostly dry on a 3 hour downpour bike ride. If you 're on the husky side, you might size up to an XL.

The build quality on this jacket is excellent. It has a softer feeling, for a hardshell, but this does not make it feel thin or cheap to me. It is quieter than other similar shells I tried on by companies like Marmot, TNF, Arc'Teryx etc., and the earth- tone inspired colors definitely help set this apart from the brighter hues of its competitors as well. I weigh 170 at 5'10 '' and the medium fits well, with some room for layering and a little room for added body weight. I 'd guess this jacket would function well up to about 180 pounds in medium with room for a lightweight down mid layer underneath. Have yet to really put this thing to a true, extended test, but I am impressed with what I have seen so far! This has seen a light, sustained rain shower, and I wore it for over an hour in a sustained snowfall. No issues with either. I purchased this and the keb eco- shell `` parka, '' not knowing which would suit me better. The parka is significantly larger than the jacket in the same size. Obviously the parka is also longer, and has some fur lining on the hood. There is a small amount of `` brushed mesh '' inulation in the body of the parka, but not enough in my opinion to truly consider it insulated in any way. It was my opinion that this took away from the parka's versatility, as it did not significantly add to using the jacket for winter weather, but the did take away from its practicality as a three or four season piece. I sent back the parka and kept the jacket. Because the back of the Jacket is cut lower than the front in order to cover the seat, I realized I would not miss the length on the parka quite as much, and I wanted the versatility of a 3- 4 season piece- ymmv. If you 're looking for a good shell that also happens to be ecologically minded in its manufacture, this is a good buy.

I love this jacket, and I fell even more in love with it when I educated myself on the process Fjallraven uses to create their waterproof breathable membrane and how it was developed and manufactured with sustainability being a priority.

Does exactly what it promises. Keeps me completely dry all day out on the trails. Has some stretch for mobility and a really great fit. Long sleeve length is excellent. Love the mess holders in the chest pockets, keeps things nice and organized.

I have owned many outdoors rain jackets and the eco- shell is hands down my absolute favorite. The four way stretch and excellent ventilation makes this a great shell for backpacking, biking and active outdoors use. The ventilation zippers( or pit zips') are LONG. This gives you lots of room to make micro adjustments to the breathability of the shell and the two way zippers can be opened from the bottom to allow the use the hand warmer pockets of a warmer layer underneath. I have used this jacket hiking, backpacking, fishing and guiding groups through the back country and have never had issues with the shell 'wetting out'. The up front price is steep but the warrantee makes this a priceless item for any outdoor enthusiast who expects the most from their gear.

I bought this jacket for my husband a couple of years ago and it still looks as nice as the day we got it. He has gotten so much use out of it, and as someone that runs a bit hotter he continuously uses it through the different seasons but with different layering underneath( we live in Minnesota). As a more technical jacket it offers a lot of great features which he often raves about after his trips to the Boundary Waters. With big chest pockets and solid ventilations to help him cool down this jacket is always with him on trips.
When selecting a lightweight backpacking rain jacket, consider features such as waterproofing, breathability, and packability. Look for jackets made with advanced materials that offer both protection from rain and allow moisture to escape. Additional features like adjustable hoods, cuffs, and ventilation zippers can enhance comfort and functionality during your outdoor adventures.
Choosing the right size for a lightweight backpacking rain jacket involves considering both your body measurements and the type of layers you plan to wear underneath. It's important to ensure a comfortable fit that allows for mobility while also accommodating additional layers for colder temperatures. Many brands provide sizing charts that can help you find the best fit based on your measurements.
Lightweight backpacking rain jackets are designed to provide protection against rain and wind, making them suitable for a variety of weather conditions. However, they may not offer the same level of insulation as heavier jackets, so they are best used in mild to moderate temperatures. For extreme weather, consider layering with additional insulation or opting for a more robust jacket.
Lightweight backpacking rain jackets are typically made from synthetic materials such as nylon or polyester, often treated with waterproof coatings. Many jackets also feature breathable membranes that help wick moisture away from the body while keeping rain out. Understanding the materials can help you choose a jacket that balances weight, durability, and weather protection.
Yes, lightweight backpacking rain jackets are versatile and can be used for various outdoor activities beyond hiking, such as camping, cycling, or traveling. Their packable design makes them easy to carry, and their waterproof features provide protection in unexpected weather. Just ensure that the jacket's fit and features align with the specific activity you plan to engage in.
Lightweight backpacking rain jackets are designed for portability and ease of movement, making them ideal for backpackers and those on the go. In contrast, heavier rain jackets often provide more insulation and durability but can be bulkier. The choice between lightweight and heavier options depends on your specific needs, including the duration of your activity and the expected weather conditions.
