Waterproof. Breathability. Durability. Our 2.5L jackets are made up of three parts: a face fabric treated with a DWR without intentionally added PFAS finish that sheds water; a microporous membrane that goes on the inside and stops percipitation from penetrating; and a half layer print that goes on the inside of the membrane, right next to your skin keeping it dry and comfortable.

"Beautiful fit, lovely purple color. But unfortunately does not stand up to the PNW rain. After 4 hours of hiking in steady/pouring rain (at 37-40 degrees) with occasional tree drips, both jacket and pants fully wetted out and we had to turn around and go back to the cars instead of backpacking overnight as planned. Probably good for intermittent rain up to that 4 hr mark. I'm wearing the 2XL purple."
"First of all I love that this coat packs down light and compact. I purchased it for this purpose to use backpacking. Unfortunately- it is only waterproof for several hours under extreme weather. I put it through the test this weekend here in the very wet and cold spring of the PNW. After about 4 hours out in the rain, I was soaked through to my core. My puffy, fleece, merino and skin were all wet. Luckily we were within turn around distance and did not have to spend the night out in the elements. Anyway - something to consider if you will be out in drenching weather for long periods at a time - you will want something more waterproof, and probably heavier weight."
"Really impressed with this raincoat. It has a sharp, well-shaped silhouette and a bit of stretch that makes it comfortable throughout the day. The underarm vents are a great touch for airflow, and the zippered pockets keep everything secure. The hood offers plenty of room and coverage, and it conveniently packs into itself. Plus, it’s incredibly lightweight—you hardly notice it’s there."
"I like how light it is and the fact that you can carry it inside it’s own pocket. I used it only 3 times in the rain but it seems very efficient and waterproof. I would prefer better adjustment options on the sides of the hood, you can only adjust the back. I would recommend to get a size up if you wish to wear layers under. (I’m 5’4, ~135 lbs and I’m happy with a large)"
"It fits well and is comfortable. Good length and color! I haven’t had a chance to wear it in rough windy weather yet, but will be taking it to Nepal with me next week to do some trekking and I expect it to keep me dry! I’m happy with my purchase!"
"Great jacket. Great color and pack ability. Having pit zips on a lightweight shell is perfect for those windy uphill endeavors."
"I really like this rain jacket. The fit is great and the hood coverage works for downpours."
"Love this light weight and breathable waterproof shell. Had it out in several rain storms here in Oregon and it preformed perfectly. Also love the fit. I am 5’9” and 155 lbs and have a medium jacket."
"super nice rain jacket. haven't had it out in the rain yet but the fit is great. the materials are nice and it fits into a small baggie. super excited to have this for my hiking pack"
"Fits well but a bit stifling in the heat"
