Runs smaller but excellent product /value
I’ve had it for two years going on my third rainy season . Not a scratch on it, rip, or anything- even the lettering on the jacket is still perfect.I deliver regularly with a company that uses the big blue vans 😁 getting in and out of the vehicle a hundred+ times a day in the rain. It is held up much better than I thought. Good value. Zipper is durable. Jacket is thin , lightweight, waterproof, yet still breathable. Folds up really small into a pouch in my backpack. Used it again today, figured I should write a review.I’m 5’11- ..210 lbs, usually use xl, but this runs smaller so after reading other reviews- I went with the XXL. Glad I did. Other than that, great product.

Surprisingly good. Just order a size larger than normal.
I was almost ready to buy a "name brand" cycling jacket for $130 and then I purchased this instead. The XL fits well (I'm typically a L) and it's got lots of pockets, venting in the back, a really nice big hood and fits well. And its BRIGHT - exactly what I was looking for to assist in cars seeing me when I bike.The only con I can find so far is that it doesn't have a hanging hook that I find, a very minor issue.

Good, but not ideal
This product is advertised as a rain jacket, and it's good for that. It's virtually waterproof. However, that means that sweat stays inside, which is unpleasant. I bought it hoping it could replace my 30-year-old lightweight Gore-Tex jacket, which was good at repelling rain while being breathable (armpit zippered vents helped with that). This jacket isn't breathable and doesn't have ventilation, so on cool day rides, you eventually cook inside. I like the high visibility it offers. It's a good value for the money, but there are more versatile jackets out there

Would be perfect, without the hood, for cycling. Great winter shell.
I ran this hood in 60F rain and all winter down to -10F as a wind blocking shell. It's a 100% waterproof shell, and 100% wind-proof, which means the breathability isn't perfect, but the rear vent helps a lot and doesn't let wind in."Breathable" rain covers are fine for drizzle but this coat keeps out heavy rain.Wearing this shell with 2-3 soft layers underneath for winter riding is MUCH more comfortable than wearing a winter jacket. In the temperatures I ride in, I've had my back covered in ice from sweat when wearing a winter jacket. Insufferable. Sweat is an issue but manageable with this rain jacket.The material is like a waterproof tent cover. It is not the same material as a rain poncho which gets brittle and tears in extreme cold.I just wish they made one without a hood. The bill on the hood, which is great for walking in the rain, blocks vision when worn under a helmet. When not worn, it can billow up in the wind which makes checking your blind spots a bit dicey. It's okay if you remember to flip the hood inside out and tamp it down before riding. Still giving 5 stars because the jacket does everything it promises to.

Size up! Otherwise perfect!
Love. Perfect for work in the construction field. Bright and reflective. Holds up in the rainy days. Definitely runs small. Example my husbands typically wears X-Large in shirts… I read the reviews and by suggestion ordered an xxl… it for perfect. The X-Large would have been much too small. Size up guys!

Good emergency jacket, recommend sizing up
I bought this to keep in my bike bag just in case the weather turns south midway through the day/ride. It’s super packable and keeps me very dry. Not very breathable but the waterproofing and small size make up for that. I originally ordered a medium and reordered a large for a better fit. I am 5’10, 145#, with slightly wide shoulders.Pros:- super bright and very visible for bike commuting-very small when packed up, fits in a bike bag nicely- very dry in light rain and snowy weatherCons- not the most breathable- might need to size up from what you’re used to, especially if you plan to wear it over other layers

Well constructed, good hood and very waterproof
I wear this jacket for outdoor exercise, mostly running and walking. I'm very pleased with the fit and function. This jacket is very waterproof and is dependable even in heavy rain.. The fabric itself doesn't seem breathable, but the vent in the back works well enough. The hood is adjustable and works well with a slight bill to the front. The hood doesn't flop in front of my face and I've never had water drip into the jacket.I'm also like the high visibility color for jogging at dusk/dark and obviously wanting to be visible to drivers.

It is short
Got this for my son for Christmas. Quality is good. The only thing I’m questioning is the length. I ordered XL so he could wear a jacket or sweatshirt under to walk his dog in rain. It fits him well but is short for a rai jacket. It comes to his waist that’s it. To me a rain jacket should be to your buttocks so that the water can shed off. He kept it as says really repels rain & hood is nice but I think it should be longer.
