Stratoburst Stretch Rain Jacket - Women's

Perfect fit, Great fabric.

I’m a small and I got a small. I love the Velcro around the wrists, the hood has a bit of a visor to keep rain out. The fabric is super comfortable and not like normal shiney/sick raincoats.

Great for wet, hot and humid!

Bought for a bird watching trip to Costa Rica, due to it being lightweight and having pit zips for the wet hot humid weather. It lived up to the task. I never got overheated hiking in the misty jungle and stayed dry in some really heavy downpours. Packs down small and barely took up any room in my carry on.

Not fully waterproof

Wore this on a recent overnight backpack where it rained most of the day. Unfortunately, the water seeped through the membrane and onto my mid layer. I liked that this was lightweight and how it looked, but didn’t perform in an all day rain situation.

Good Waterproof

Fit is accurate, durable fabric, not a windbreaker or softshell, it's definitely a rain jacket.

Waterproof, lightweight. Just about perfect for a rain coat.

Everything I need!

Wow! I have been searching for an ultralight rain jacket and was thrilled when I discovered this on sale. It has everything on my list: breathable, stretchy, zip pockets, hood with a visor, and even pit vents! I’d been looking at other brands but wasn’t willing to pay their steep prices for ultralight jackets. I travel and wanted a very lightweight jacket to tuck in my suitcase for emergencies, and this will do the trick. Since this is just a shell, it isn’t intended for warmth, just for staying dry, so I did size up in case I need to layer underneath. Thank you for this great product! I got the balsam/grove, a two-toned green, which is very pretty.

Comfortable and lightweight!

This jacket is stretchy, light-weight, and extremely comfortable. I love the color and fit and really enjoy the overall aesthetic of it. Functionally, it has performed flawlessly. I used this jacket in the PNW on multiple rainy day hikes and have had no issues.

Best jacket

Totally waterproof and super lightweight. Use this for general wet weather but breathable. Haven’t used for hiking yet but it packs up so small and will be great for future travel use as well. It’s not a thick/heavy jacket but it’s fine. Easy to layer over a warmer or thicker layer. Have worn a thick fleece under it too.

Great rain shell

Great rain jacket! Very lightweight, and quite stretchy for a rain shell. It fits perfectly over multiple layers underneath (shirt, fleece, and OR Transcendent Down Hoodie), and the hood has great coverage. It's lasted well through heavier rain on the West Coast and dries quick

overall very solid except for the limited pockets. works as an outer layer for skiing, and the waterproofing it's great.
