- Is the Dirt Roamer Storm Jacket warm enough on its own?
- No. It is a waterproof shell with no insulation, so it works as an outer layer over a jersey or fleece. In cold rain you will want a midlayer underneath.
- Does the hood fit over a mountain bike helmet?
- Yes. The hood is cut to go over a helmet and has adjustments to keep it from flapping at speed. It can also be cinched down when worn without a helmet.
- How does it compare with Patagonia's other rain jackets?
- It is lighter and more packable than Patagonia's hiking shells, with a bike-specific cut and drop tail. Those general shells are burlier and warmer but bulkier on the bike.
- Can it be packed into a hip pack or jersey pocket?
- It packs small enough for a hip pack or a large jersey pocket. It does not stuff into its own pocket, so bring a small stuff sack.
- Is it only for mountain biking?
- It is designed around riding, but the stretch fabric and hood make it usable for trail running and commuting. The drop tail looks odd off the bike.
- How should I size it for layering?
- The cut is trim, so size up if you plan to wear a fleece or armor underneath. Try your usual size first if you ride in a jersey only.
