- Is this jacket waterproof?
- No. It is a softshell with a water-repellent finish, so it handles drizzle and light rain but not sustained downpours. Carry a hardshell for wet days.
- How does the fit run?
- Slim. It sits close to the body, so if you plan to layer a fleece underneath, size up. The size range runs from S to 4XL.
- Is it warm enough for winter?
- On its own, no. It has no insulation and works as a wind-and-drizzle shell over a base layer or fleece in cold weather.
- How should I wash it?
- Machine wash at 30 degrees and skip fabric softener, which dulls the water-repellent finish. Tumble low or hang dry to keep the coating working.
- Does it have pockets?
- Yes, zippered hand pockets. There are also reflective details and an adjustable drawstring hem.
- How does it compare with a hardshell rain jacket?
- It is lighter, stretchier and quieter, and breathes better on the move, but it gives up full waterproofing. Choose it for wind and drizzle, a hardshell for real rain.
