This jacket replaced a similar 14 year old North Face jacket that finally wore out. I have used it during two humid and rainy outdoor assignments and it has worked as promised, keeping water outside while also allowing the vented zippers on the bottom upper portion of each sleeve to vent any perspiration.

5 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.

5 Kathy W
[ Love this jacket, looks great, fits great. Compact for suitcase, waterproof for Alaska weather. Cant wait to use this on my cruise to Alaska

5 Cara
[ I love the color and how flattering this jacket is! An XXL is mid- thigh length for me at 5' 7 '' and a pear shaped body. I do keep zipping the inside cords up into the zipper.

[ I had another Columbia Rain jacket and left if on a plane. I researched many rain jackets for what I wanted and ended up going with Columbia again. 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!

5 GraceF96
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.

5 mags98
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.

5 madsmmm
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!

5 reddeb
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.

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!

5
[ Love the light fleece lining and sturdy zipper and pockets

5 Nicole
[ Great fit, warm and lots of pockets. A little bulky in front but overall good quality.

5 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.

[ 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. I 'm often stuck between a small& medium in other brands sizing but this is a perfect fit. I 'm 5' 4 '', 126lbs 36 '' chest& it is Perfect! I love the color too!

5 Lynn
[ 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.

5 JBones44
If you are not familiar with Columbias's sizing, always buy a size smaller than what you are on top. It's like they are clothing for lumberjacks and samoan football players. Besides that, wore it in the backyard forest walking through the swamp the other night and it breathes very well, does not stick to the skin when raining and has become my go to fall weather jacket. Just love the style and way it feels!!

Perfect rain jacket, can handle a soaking, and is light and maneuverable. Hood fits great, as some rain jacket hoods are too big and prone to getting caught in the wind.

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!

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.

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.

5 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

5 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.

Great mid weight jacket with a wide range of uses. Hiking, spring skiing, mountaineering. OR makes great products and this jacket is no different

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.

5 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.

5 Squatch Hunter
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!

I 've had this jacket for a few weeks now, and I 'm pleased with the performance.

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.

5 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.

Light and very packable. Medium fit well for 5'10 ''', 165 lbs. Loose enough for an extra layer underneath.

Tested out the new UL Premonition during my training in Salt Lake City and my recent Makalu expedition. Two of the best features of the jacket are its weight and packability — it is incredibly light and easy to pack into my backpack, especially when carrying a lot of gear and equipment up to higher camps. The jacket shielded me from rain, snow, and high winds at higher altitudes. It ’s highly mobile and easy to wear. Particularly love the internal long zippered pocket — perfect for storing important devices like iPhone or Garmin inReach.

[ Employee of mountainhardwear] This is my go- to lightweight waterproof shell. Basically like a feather in my backpack, there is no reason not to bring it. Alpine climbing, mountain biking, hustle footing. I live in the PNW and rain is almost guaranteed on every outing- got ta have this.

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.

[ Great jacket. I have put it to the test and it has held up with no leaks. However, it does run a bit larger on size. I highly recommend this jacket!

5
[ Packing for travel, you want a jacket that can handle the cold, wind, and rain yet still fit in your travel bag using minimal space. Marmot solved all that with this jacket. I love my jacket! With both inside& outside pockets and even a hood that actually rides well on your head, everyone should take a look at this jacket before spending your money.

5 Mariz
[ This jacket is everything i payed for! Windproof and waterproof, it is the lightweight champion of all jackets. Easy to pack everywhere with great venting features and overall comfort. Stylistically impecable also! Check me it out!

5 Civil_ian
[ It ’s unnoticeable weight makes it a perfect item to leave in my bag when I commute to work for surprise showers and and a great to keep in a bag for hikes just in case The durability isn ’ t compromised either. After getting to the top of camels hump in northern VT, it started raining shorty after. Parts of this meant we were scrambling down rocks in a down pour. Theres 0 damage to the jacket!

[[ Employee of marmot] Bought this jacket for a summer trip full of hiking and urban exploring across Norway. This jacket held up and kept me dry through everything that we encountered-- misty, windy, foggy, rainy-- and it fit great layered over a fleece on the colder days. When the pace picked up or we were going uphill, the pit- zips were great additions to help keep me comfortable and prevent overheating. It also packs down super small so it was easy to bring along on every excursion in a daypack just in case it started to rain.

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.

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!

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.

[ Great jacket! I like to use this jacket as a top shell to protect me from cold winds while I 'm outside for hours. I I love the color and have gotten so many compliments. My last jacket was a similar model and I 've had it for 16 years so definitely worth it!!

5 Jessica
[ Bought this jacket in preparation for a ski trip in Utah. Skied 5 days in this coat with considerable snow and some winds all 5 days. Extremely happy with this coat and was able to layer up underneath if need be. Extra room in the hood was great for windy chairlift rides. The color is more of a salmon and I received numerous compliments on the jacket.

4 Marie
[ Great light jacket. I love the colour. I ordered M thinking I would need more space to layer up but ended up being way too big. Returned it and ordered the S. have n't fully tested it yet in cold winters, ca n't wait to do so. It would have been nice to have a zippered pocket inside. The hood is a bit small if you want to use it for ski, but it is not a 'ski' jacket.

4 Valerie
[ Absolutely loved this jacket, but fit smaller than I expected. I returned it, but intend to re- purchase when I can try it on.

[ Got this jacket for a mid April snowboarding trip and was perfect. Couldn ’ t feel the wind at all and was warm with layers underneath. Great to hike in as well!

5 spacekat
[ This jacket came all the way to the summit of Kilimanjaro! With so many various climate regions on the mountain it was a perfect jacket to have! Best feature: The two- way zip. I use it all the time

5 Emypocu
[ This jacket is of excellent quality. If you want to keep water out and are going to be in cooler temps I highly recommend it. I am using year- round for cost saving with layers or not. If I had the means I would use this only for colder temperatures which I think is what it was designed for.

To have a ghost whisperer lined interior on this jacket is genius! It's super warm and insulated, and still compacts down super small.

5
I have been wearing this in the Bay Area in the 40s. Great jacket. Breaths well. Very light. Wind resistant, does fine in drizzle. No experience in really cold or real rain. There are no clinch cords at the bottom, though, and so I need a light vest to fill out the jacket. As for really cold, I was able to put a another layer of ghost whisperer under and, I assume, I am good to go for really cold, too. I should mention that I am a senior and am bundled up when the kids are running by in shorts! Again, this is a really light jacket and feels wonderful to wear. Packs well, too.

[ I 'll admit I do n't know too much about this type of shell jacket. I usually wear a heavy commercial fishing style pvc jacket when I 'm working and a frogg toggs jacket when I 'm backpacking. I also have an old North Face shell that I found in a snow drift, nobody asks me for change when I 'm wearing it. So needless to say I 'm really impressed with this shell. I ca n't believe how lightweight and packable it is. The pit zips are generous and the material itself seems very breathable. My favorite part is the cut. I have a long torso and this thing sure does keep rain out of the plumbers crack. The sleeves are long enough that you can gasket your gloves. The torso has an athletic cut, I feel less like a sail flapping in the wind compared to when I wear my other gear. The pockets look weird, sitting high up on your ribs like cat nipples, but I think they make a lot of sense. They work really well with a pack belt, staying accessible and providing less material to chafe. It's a thoughtful design for the outdoorsperson, dissing these pockets is admitting to being an athleisure poser, too delicate for a heavy pack and too self- conscious for sensible cat nipple style gear storage.

5 Johnny Rose
[ Amazingly well constructed and impervious to rain, snow and wind. Light enough to run in without winding up soaked in sweat afterward but, keeps out the elements at the crag all day long. High pockets allow for a spot to warm hands or reach your phone with a climbing harness on and hood is big enough to get over a helmet. Can not say enough about this jacket. Stop looking and buy one!

5 RomanP
[ First off, it ’s really lightweight and doesn ’ t restrict my movement. Love the huge pockets that extend above the backpack ’s hip belt- a nice place to protect my phone and other electronics in the downpour while still easily accessible. Got into a really heavy rain while on top of a mountain, barely had time to put the jacket on, everything was soaking wet in less than a minute. The part under the jacket remained completely dry. The shell also has nice big pit zips for ventilation, which are easy to open/close with one hand. Not all jackets can boast this feature

5 800 Smiles
[ Nice jacket. Good fit and venting. I have several Marmot items in my gear closet. Unlike Marmots in the wilderness( never trust a Marmot) Marmot brand gear you can trust and count on!

5 Vamoose
[ Very happy with jacket. I prefer three layer waterproof fabric as opposed to a two layer with mesh inside. It just feels better to me, and I enjoy that about this jacket. I use this for everyday wear and alpine or telemark skiing with a layer under it. I wo n't be backpacking with it as emergency rain wear, so I like a little heavier fabric, and this is perfect. It just hangs better on your body and is more durable. Hood is well made and fits well. Also, subtle chest logo is tone on tone, at least in orange color. I do n't like being a billboard for a company's branding. Very classy. I would like to have an inside pocket and a small left sleeve pocket for a lift pass, but pockets add a lot to the cost of a garment, and this piece is priced well, so no complaints. Buy it, you 'll like it.

I live in the Columbia River Gorge and work and play in the Cascades. This jacket does a great job of protecting me from rain, wind or snow no matter what activity I 'm doing.

5 Caleb M.
This jacket has been nothing but bomber! It acts as a great insulator but even more so for holding out the water! I got it right before the rainy season and it has worked great hiking on the Cumberland trail.

5 Henry A.
I was kinda worried about buying such a light rain coat because something that typically annoys me is the loud noise that they make when they walk! This one did not make any such noise and it keeps the water out great. Also packs up super small so it ’s ideal for traveling

[ 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.

5 Rockymountainscrambler
[ 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.
