Stratoburst Stretch Rain Jacket - Men's

Perfect rain jacket!!!

Was looking for a nice rain jacket for wet days and this definitely fit the bill! Love the fit, color and style. It is exactly what I needed.

Great jacket. True to size and keeps the rain out.

Great feeling rain jacket

Overall I love the feel of this jacket. It's light weight and the inside doesn't feel like a plastic bag on your skin. It's a rain jacket so it's always going to feel a little clammy but this is the best I've felt. The stretch really sets this jacket apart from others. I don't feel like my arm mobility is restricted at all. Typical use is for every-day use and day-hikes. I haven't worn it in any sort of torrential downpours but so far it seems like it's doing a great job. 6'4" - Large fits well - arms are plenty long enough.

Had been a nice addition to pack on gloomy days.

Sleeves might be a little long. My only issue has been the Velcro at the cuff being a little annoying, eventually I got it figured out. Other than that issue I stayed dry on my ride and it was easy to pack up after the rain. It does get steamy when riding.

What you'd expect (in a good way)

Its exactly what you expect - no downsides after a month of consistent use. Lightweight, durable. I'd buy again if I lost mine.

Great

Fantastic water repellence, lightweight for warmer weather, easily packed, and good storage options via the pockets.

It's really compact and nice quality. I'm not surprised given its outdoor research but I continue to be impressed.

Great jacket - 2 major flaws

Great jacket but there are 2 major flaws that will probably get me switching back to my Helly Hansen Loke 2.0. 1. Sleeves are 5-6 inches too long. Sleeves shouldn't go too much onto your hands. My fingers don't even make it to the end of the sleeves with my hands down at my side. Makes wearing it very uncomfortable when there is that much extra fabric flapping around your hands. Then it just bunches up on your arms. 2. The cuffs on the sleeves are too large is you don't have thick cuffed gloves on. The opening is so large that your hand just swims in the opening. Must close all the way just the keep them on your wrists. Since these 2 things can't be tailored on a jacket like this, it makes me very disappointed in it since everything else is great. The stretch and fit in the shoulders and chest are great.

light for every challenge

I live in Portland OR and I need a rain jacket for everyday life. This Jacket is great in the outdoors, but isn't too hot or steamy to wear inside. The pit zips are perfect if you are getting down to business and need to vent . the material is amazingly soft and helps to make it your favorite gear at a grasp out the door. large fits me great, 5'7 170lbs.

Go to rain jacket

This is a fantastic lightweight and packable rain jacket. Very nicely constructed with sealed seem zippers as. Highly recommend to anyone wanting something light and not at all bulky. I use it a lot on the river fishing for those cooler early mornings to break the wind and obviously it protects from the rain.
