I bought it for year-round use from snowboarding to hiking. I decided on the Theta for a few main reasons. 1. Gore-Tex Pro Shell is totally waterproof, extremely breathable, w…

I did a lot of research on this jacket as I wanted to make sure I got the best for all around wet weather gear. I have had this jacket for 3-4 years and it is used extensivel…

My favorite feature to this jacket is there is no bulk to it. I can roll the jacket into the hood and it takes up no space. Easy to pack and fits well. I'm 5'10 and 200 and th…

The fit of the jacket is awesome slim but not to slim, 5"10 142 pounds, small fits perfect. The micro blue color is way cooler than the pic gives it credit for. The quality o…

I bought this jacket cause it claimed to be waterproof and it has a nice well made texture and fel to the jacket overall. I was caught in a torrential downpour in Boston a few…

My husband has been wearing this jacket over a not-so waterproof down jacket in wet snow/rain-snow conditions. That wasn't the reason it was purchased (was supposed to be fo…

Needed a good waterproof shell and this is it. Very durable and well ventilated. Have used these jackets in some crazy conditions and they have always performed great. Sizi…

I love this coat, I have had great experiences with it. Its great to just stuff in a bag in case it rains and it surely will keep you dry when you need it. It also serves as a…

This is perfect for wearing around town, where the lack of pit zips. The one downside is the very large, which is designed to accommodate a helmet. Still, a very nice jacket…

The Beta SL has been my backpacking rain jacket of choice for the last three years. I have put this thing through hell and it has never been phased. It has withstood hours o…

This is my second Arc'Teryx jacket, it is very light. It's nice that the hoods tucks away as I find Arc'Teryx jackets have hoods that are way too big (this one is a bit small…

I really, really, really wanted to like this jacket, but like my 11th grade date to the prom, it was simply not meant to be.... It is very narrowly cut, and was not going…

So far, I couldn't be happier with the Marmot Mica rain shell. The material is beyond light, yet just screams "quality." I have been in several downpours in this shell, howe…

Good hand pockets, good fit,(I got small, 5'10" and 140lb) nice velcro wrist closures. it also has a bottom draw chord, which is helpful. My only complaint is that the self…

I was trying hard to decide between this and the alpha LT. I loved that the SL pullover is incredibly light and packable yet feels like it's made out of a bombproof material.…

Very disappointed in what North Face has become. Had a hyvent jacket that they claimed was waterproof, but it became sopping wet while skiing in the snow. Ruined my vacation…

I've been using this jacket for about 3 years now and is probably a great deal for the price. It is fairly waterproof and the breathablity is decent. However, if you are an…

If you are like me, you don't go hiking when the weather forecast calls for three to four days of solid rain. Most the time you never take your rain gear out of your pack, so…

This thing is light. It rocks when you're on the rocks and it comes with me anytime I think it might rain. I love the no frills design and helmet compatible hood. If you're lo…

This is a great rain shell. It can even be worn as a ski shell with some layering underneath. I never get sweaty in it, even when it's muggy/rainy weather. It has a slightly s…

Super lightweight, every zipper and pull works perfectly, and above all it's ridiculously waterproof despite it's small pack size. The pit zips are handy after heating up, and…

I thought I'd really like the Taro color, but combined with the material it's constructed from, it looked rubbery or plasticy, esp. the raised bird logo, which looks like some…
