Very light weight that packs small. Waterproof with mild to heavy rainfall. I was able to pack this raincoat in a small pocket in my backpack to roughly the size of an 5x8 inch notebook.

Used it on a Scotland Highland walk, about 100 miles in cold and rain. Very happy how it fit and worked. Highly recommend.

This was my first “nice” rain jacket. I’ve worn it in the rain twice and the water beaded up and rolled off no problem. The fact it can be folded up and stored in its own pocket is very nifty. Their website says it’s one of their stretchiest jackets but honestly I was expecting more stretch. The material gives a little but I wish it was stretchier. I suppose I’m used to the stretch on most activewear. It does however block the wind so it may also work as a lightweight shell when it gets cold as long as you wear a base layer. Overall I’m happy and may buy some more from OR.

Very nice rain jacket. Pros: stylish, very well made (seams, stitch work, material), does not appear coated with pvc that always peels off. Cons: tight around the chest. I measure 41” at the chest and a large is noticeably tight when I raise an arm. I kept it as decent light rain jackets are tough to find.
