Bought the jacket because it was on sale for a great price and was very pleasantly surprised at how much I like it. I've always used Showers Pass rainwear but it is heavy and not very compressible, and can be quite warm during rain in spring/summertime. The Gore Wear is ultra light and really packs down well, yet keeps me dry. Even better, it is the perfect outer layer for high wind days. Breathes well but totally blocks the wind. My only drawback is the attached hood. I wish it was removable.
