Awesome rain jacket
I got caught in a hail storm about two miles from my house. I put on the jacket and didn’t get any more wet the remainder of the ride. I also stayed warm the entire time. This jacket rocks

Great for biking
Used for bikepacking, backpacking, and pretty much everything else. Kept me mostly dry for 5 hours in light/moderate rain. Very bike specific fit but not bad for everyday use. The hood is great for wearing over a helmet but maybe a bit large if you aren't wearing one. Kinda hard to really sinch down if it's windy. Nice back vent relatively breathable but sadly no armpit vents so it can get a little hot. Especially when exerting yourself biking. Also just a bit tight fitting. The large woulda been too big. Medium is a bit tight which is understandable for riding but feels a bit constricting in the armpit/chest area especially if you're layering up or a wide person. Not a huge problem though. Overall big fan of the jacket, just wish there was more vent options.

I got this as a gift before a trip to Whistler. It ended up dumping on us, but this kept me perfectly dry. I was very impressed with the material and fit. As a tall skinny guy, it is sometimes hard to find stuff that isn't too boxy, while still having a good length. Very happy with the jacket!
