Great fit- I bought a large so I could wear this over other jackets and layers if needed. It fits great over my big chest- I can still breathe lol. Hood can cinch down to keep the rain out of the nooks and crannies. Super lightweight and packable. I use it as a wind jacket as well as rain.

For everyday life, I used to primarily wear a soft shell jacket that was water resistant. On rainy days, I just dodged the raindrops or got soaked. Now I wear a puffy and when the weather turns, I layer up with my Helium II which is tiny and always tucked in my go-bag. When in the field, it is the best, last layer to add for a windy or wet day. For the final day of a Lower Salmon to Snake raft trip, I always have my Hellium II on when we leave camp to cut the wind and hold back the splashes. It is a great jacket.

Perfect for trail running - it's nearly as light as the Patagonia Houdini, but has the benefit of actually being waterproof. It's my go-to jacket for backpacking and fastpacking/ultras because of how insanely light and packable it is. I also always keep it my pack while bike commuting around soggy/steamy Atlanta. Even in pouring rain while riding a bike it has kept my top bone-dry and it breathes great. Basically the only thing I don't use it for is mountaineering, where I use a thicker, more durable shell. I'm 5'7" and 145lbs. The medium fits perfectly, although potentially a bit short on my longer-than-average torso. But that's negligible. Highly recommend this one!

This jacket is everything I have ever wanted in a UL jacket. Under 5.5 ounces (for an XS), waterproof, packs incredibly small, and cute enough to wear off-trail, too. As a petite lady, I often struggle to find outdoor gear that fits my short arms and legs but this jacket was spot on in fit. The sleeves end exactly where I need them too and the torso is not overly bulky. Props to OR for making such a solid piece of gear! I anticipate hanging on to this jacket for a long, long time. The biggest downside, in my opinion, is the lack of pockets. I'll deal with it for the weight savings, but I've found myself trying to stuff my hands into invisible pockets on more than one occasion...

I was looking for a lightweight, waterproof jacket that I could add layers under. This little rain coat was perfect for my 9 day hiking trip - it fit all of my criteria and kept me dry during 1 day of rain. It is a keeper!

This jacket held up pretty well to the rain until day 3 of use when the zipper split open. Then it wouldnt zip and it was a major bummer trying to stay dry hiking in the rain with the jacket hanging open. If the zipper worked better, I'd give this 5 stars!

Really like this jacket. Extremely light and packable. Comfortable for hikes, bicycling, skiing, and just being outside. Love the extra extended built-in visor on the hood and front pocket for easy retrieval of items. Would have given it five stars, but...it really needs more pockets and the arm cuffs are not adjustable to prevent rain from entering the sleeves while biking. All in all, though, this rain jacket is by far the best jacket I've owned for a very fair price. The womens' Ultraviolet color is beautiful too. Thanks, OR!
