I do a lot of extreme things like take my 4 year old outside to jump in mud puddles. I run in the rain to pick her up from preschool. Sometimes I go biking in a light drizzle.…

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…

This is a nice looking and comfortable jacket. It's fairly warm and perfect for autumn in the Midwest. My only complaint is that the arms are a little longer than your typical…

I've worn this jacket - and its prototype - since June and it has quickly become my go-to jacket. That's the jacket that I grab 80% of the time, and have to justify replacing…

This is the best waterproof jacket I've ever used. I had nearly given up on GORETEX and fully waterproof layers for 90% of my days in the mountains, but the Axiom really is mu…

This shell is amazing, light as a feather and very comfortable. I run outdoors most days and I find this shell to be an amazing piece of technology. It is windproof, super l…

All good: The light weight skin-like nylon is incredibly thin, and yet affords the wearer some security in knowing that if needed, this jacket will repel light rain, wind, and…

After having a few different down jackets over the years, this is by far the best one I’ve ever had! It feels like you are wearing nothing (because it is so lightweight) an…

Ok, this jacket is AMAZING! I took it camping/climbing/backpacking in 20 degree weather and I was super warm with just a little sweater underneath. It is breathable and light…

This jacket is superior to the Patagonia version in every way...fit, look, and quality. I did find the sizing just a little inconsistent though. I ordered two smalls and the…

If you were disappointed in the Patagonia version of this jacket like I was, give this one a try. I found that it fits better, looks better on, and seems to be of a higher qu…

Got this for Christmas and was skeptical that something so light could be warm enough for a winter jacket. But man, was I wrong. I hike all winter with the dog and I've just b…

The hood ruins this jacket. First the tighteners are made of a stretchy cloth that take time to get right and then do not stay tight. I mean why not go for the spring tightene…
