Rain protection that owners report keeps them dry.

What owners are telling us.
Owners highlight rain protection that keeps them dry, low weight, and a comfortable fit. The jacket also packs down small, while underarm vents help release excess heat; owners additionally value room for layers, effective wind blocking, and breathable fabric during active use. A smaller group reports that rain can get through the shell. Sizing feedback is mixed at the margins, with some finding the body too large and others too small, so the positive fit feedback does not eliminate the risk of a poor size match.
