Foray II Jacket - Men's

Best rain jacket there is.

Grabbing this jacket for hiking was an amazing decision. Typically rain jackets are so uncomfortable for me I would rather get soaked. This is because wether it's gortex or not I typically sweat to much and end up getting soaked anyways. The pit zips that go all the way down are the best thing about this jacket. On a hike yesterday it went back and forth from drizzling to pouring. Pit zips in accordance kept coming up and down, and I got into my truck completely dry from sweat and rain for the first time ever after an hour of hiking.

Waterproof is an Understatement

Great ventilation with zippers from armpit to waist! Includes taped waterproof seams! Amazing jacket, incredibly lightweight and compact!

Simple

Bought for friend who loves the no thrills design, No complaints yet

Pit Zip Heaven

Jolly good jacket with epic length pit zips, relatively affordable, and great for hiking. Make sure to wash over time to prevent delamination

Needs a redesign

This jacket is great, I use it and carry it all the time. I do hate how there isn't a way to pack the jacket down at all. I always end up rolling the jacket up and stuffing it into its own hood and then wrapping it in a velcro strap. A simple design change of one of the pockets could make it packable and so much easier to carry. If im hiking it just gets stuffed in the bag, but if I'm in my truck I would like it to be rolled up and contained some how.

Great rain jacket survived hikes with sporadic rains in Alaska. Not best choice for warmer weather

Does what it’s supposed to

Held up for 3 hours in a steady light/medium rain. Kept me dry while other coworkers were soaked. The zippers in arm pit area are also fantastic.

Great lightweight shell. Packs down small and has room for layering. Love it!

Best Jacket for light hikes in wet conditions

When I was hiking in the pnw this past week it was wet and humid and I was taking on and taking off layers all the time. This jacket was the only thing I kept on and I have had different jackets from many different brands over the years. This is by far the most comfortable

Nice jacket, mild protection

This Jacket looks great. Well-designed and great ventilation. It's comfortable, stylish. It's a n excellent jacket for a light rain but it is not waterproof in any sort of down pour, even after a hearty cleaning and DWR treatment it doesn't hold up to heavy rain at all. If you need a hiking or mountaineering jacket this aint it. But a commute, running to the car, walking the dog? yeah its good for that.
