In Between A Rainshell And A Windbreaker

not very waterproof, not very breathable.....I wanted to like this jacket, and if the only precip you face is s very gentle mist, in cold conditions, then it's great. It IS packable, and the fit is decent. But if you are running or touring and generating heat, it is not breathable enough to wear (unless, I suppose, it is very cold). But since it isn't very waterproof, it's kind of in-between a rainshell and a windbreaker.

Bring Back The 2 Hip Pockets!

I have the older version that I love that has 2 hip pockets. Bought this one for my son thinking it was the same and my son rarely wears it because he also wants hip pockets.

Not Waterproof At All

NOT waterproof at all! I brought this on a long hiking trip and we had some heavy rain- I got instantly soaked and literally could see the water coming through the fabric of this jacket. So disappointing and ended up getting sick because of this jacket claiming to be waterproof.

Not Waterproof

This jacket is definitely not very waterproof. Other reviewers say it is suitable for light rains, but mine gets easily saturated and leaks in even the lightest rainfall.

Helium Rain Jacket

It’s a good lightweight jacket. It folds incredibly small and weighs next to nothing. I have it only 4 stars though because harder rain will allow moisture to get through the jacket. It’s a great jacket, just ensure you use it with the proper conditions.
