I have always found waterproof rain jackets to too hot and clammy and water resistant jackets to be not very resistant. This seems to be a very good balance. Wore it recently on a 3 hour ride which was windy, drizzly and rainy, sunny and overcast . The jacket performed very well. The two way zipper may seem like a small detail but is great at ventilating when you have a bit of rain- simply put your chest is covered while the lower part is open. If you're on the fence, this may be a good choice. I am 6'0 175 and the xlarge fits nicely over a long sleeved jersey.
Excellent quality jacket with the fit and features I will use for a long time. It is a little lighter weight than I expected, but Ive layered with a thermal jersey and found it to be fine
Light weight perfect for warm seasonal rain
I like to wear this jacket for bike rides on cool days that call for a thin-but-snug outer layer. If the temp climbs, I can stuff it into the integrated zipper pouch and stow it in my jersey. Just the right weight for spring and autumn in the Pacific Northwest.
Amazingly warm for so light a jacket! Cuffs are a little loose on my wrists, but otherwise great fit.
