For the price, you aren't likely to find a better packable rain jacket than this. From the snazzy color scheme and design to the light weight, to the stowable hood and roomy pockets, this jacket punches way above its weight class. The jacket packs down easily into a pouch about the size of a softball, and can therefore be taken just about anywhere without being cumbersome. Once you've got it unpacked, you'll be able to cinch the wrists to your comfort level, and with the zipper zipped and hood up, you'll stay dry as well as toasty. That leads me to one of the jacket's only issues. Due to the water-resistant nature of the materials, the jacket doesn't breathe very well. A couple of underarm vents would have made a huge difference in the comfort level of this jacket. However, as long as you're not trying to stay dry in the tropics, it really isn't enough to be a deal breaker. No, this jacket isn't going to stop you getting wet in a hurricane, but it's great for mild to moderate rain, and at less than $40.00, it's well worth having.
