20 Best Waterproof Jacket For Men (2023 Updated)

I have been itching to buy this rain jacket for at least six months. When it came on sale on July 4th I jumped on it. I was not disappointed. What a great jacket. Very well made and constructed. I like that the option to take the sleeves zip off, but not sure I would ever need to take them off.

I ordered a Large/Tall because I wanted the longer length in the tail and sleeves. At 6 foot and 175 LB it fits great and gives me the extra coverage I was looking for. I am thinking of wearing it for skiing this winter as I think it will make a good shell as well as a rain jacket.

First, the jacket runs large. I’m 6′, about 184 lbs, and I had to exchange a large and am using a medium ( unless you like a looser fit ). This jacket is so adjustable. I took the hood off, added a warm layer underneath and it was great for cycling on a cold day.

With the hood and sleeve off, I use it as a vest for cycling on nice fall days ( but was able to put the sleeves back on when the sun went in and temperature dropped ). I use it as a rain jacket and the sleeves are ultra-reflective so I use it as the outer layer when I walk my dogs after dark.

It has multiple elastic ties throughout the jacket ( in the pockets, on the bottom hem, etc ) so you can completely easily customize fit. It’s too bad that it can’t be made in a softshell, only because I like those better, but I don’t know if that’s even possible as I haven’t seen a convertible softshell.

The only reason that I gave it 4 instead of 5 is that the hood is a little small, but other than that, this jacket is great!.

The quality of this coat, in both material and construction, is outstanding. The design features of detachable sleeves, reflective fabric and tight hood fit for under helmet, shows the creativity and care used in making this garment…the mesh lining also affords good air circulation.

The feature that absolutely sold me was the ‘long’ fit for both the torso and the sleeves. This is the first rain jacket that actually fits my 6’5†frame.

Crazy. 3 oz. Fits into a small ball that fits in my fist. SO small I can pack it into a running belt strap around my waist. Does great protecting me from wind as well above tree line. Biggest thing I was impressed by was breathability and next to skin feel.

Usually pieces like this feel like trash bags. Much softer than you’d think. It does fit a little short so if youre between sizes, size up. For sure recommend!.

This has been a great shell so far. The fabric is very breathable and incredibly light. The bit of stretch it has really helped on my run up Mt. Timp. I was able to keep it on most of the time and not get over heated! Which is amazing for the shell.

This is my new go to layer for running, fastpacking, and hiking. I’m happy to also see the use of a solid YKK. For fit, it is a good athletic fit. Not too short or boxy for me.

This is my second Helly Hansen Moss Jacket and I love it! I literally worn the first one out. I live in Oregon, and umbrellas are for wusses. My dog and I walk three to five miles every day, so I need a coat that keeps me dry in any kind of rain shower, and in Oregon, we get them all.

This coat is light weight, but heavy duty. I buy it one size larger so I can layer over sweaters and coats. I’ve never had a problem with the zipper or snaps, and the hood truly keeps my head dry. I hated throwing my old red one away, but I love my new yellow one.

It makes me feel cute too!.

I bought this jacket about a month ago for outdoor seasonal work in Southeast Alaska. It has proven to be the best rain jacket I’ve ever purchased. The rubberized surface of the jacket is the absolute best and keeps me completely dry! I’ve already experienced days of heavy rain and this jacket stands up to the test.

I am 5’4, 113 lbs. and bought the small size, which proved very spacious and provided more than ample room for layering underneath. I also appreciate that the jacket hangs a little lower than the hips, as these extra couple of inches seem to really make a difference in keeping my legs a little drier.

The only potential downside is that there are no arm vents to stay cool in warmer weather, but that has not been an issue for me in the moderate climate of Alaska. I highly recommend this jacket.

I bought this jacket for my husband for Christmas and he loves it. I also have the women’s jacket myself. It is completely waterproof and very well made. Not super warm so you need to layer underneath if it’s cold.

Overall I would say they fit big. I’m 5’4 and 130lbs and the size small is big on me. My husband is 5’9 and 190lbs and the men’s medium fits him perfectly with a hoodie underneath. Would definitely recommend.

It’s lightweight for packing and light showers, ideal for layering with light sweaters or as an emergency raincoat. I bought it for the purpose of layering. The fleece is the kind I remember growing up to give me static shocks if I didn’t put lotion on.

It’s not luxurious fleece, but a thin practical line. As noted by another reviewer, I wish the fleece was included in the pockets; I also wish the wrist elastic was more stretchy and had those velcro bands to secure a better fit.

So it’s a basic cost without much frills, but does a good job of the basic stuff. I like that the hood zips up to cover the neck and covers the hair. There’s a strap with Velcro on the top of the hood, which I assume is to adjust where the hood falls on the forehead.

I wish this strap was located on the wrist instead. Love how light it is to pack in my child’s bag. It folds nicely and tightly.

Great light weight jacket for travelling. My husband has long arms and quite often has to buy a size (or two) larger in order to get the right fit on arm length. This jacket, he was able to buy his normal size, with room to spare, and the arms were the perfect length.

Thank you for having a Tall size available! This jacket conveniently tucks into a pouch easily when not in use and can be stored in a backpack when travelling. It has a nice chest pocket with a zipper to store small items besides the 2 zippered pockets.

This has a very light liner so the jacket will not stick to your body/arms when wearing it if you get sweaty. This is a great summer/warmer climate jacket – it is very light. It could be useful in Spring/Fall if you wear a long sleeved shirt underneath.

We bought this for our grandson in Alaska starting his first soccer team/league. The rain comes down in torrents this time of year & they love playing in it, but we’re getting drenched. I knew where to look for quality, comfortable clothes for our little guy! This rain jacket is perfect weight & size to go over his soccer jersey with a long sleeve tee underneath.

It doesn’t have a thick lining so he wasn’t overheated & his upper body was completely dry while his little team mates were soaked. He enjoyed his practice toasty & dry. The other soccer moms asked about his cute and awesome jacket.

My daughter-in-law said, “His grandma gets all his outdoor clothing for all seasons at Columbia!” Columbia is my go to place for every season!.

The watertight rain jacket is a great choice. The fit is true to size and the list of color options was long. It’s the perfect weight and warmth for cool rainy evenings. The features like the drawstring attached hood, zippered pockets and Velcro closures over the zipper make this the perfect jacket for the heaviest rainstorm.

I live in the central southern desert area of Arizona and when the monsoon season hits every July and August this is the perfect jacket. I am also able to wear it all fall and winter in the cool desert nights.

This jacket keeps me dry when it is misting or raining, warm when it is windy. It is a replacement only because my body has expanded too much for the previous one to zip. One size too small would still snap top and bottom but would not zip, allowing protection from mist but not from rain.

I especially like that it will self-store in its left pocket. the only problem with the rain jacket is there is no reasonable way to carry it when it ts self packed. I sewed a string on the inside of the left pocket to use as a carrying handle and would recommend that Columbia do that on all their “packable” rain jackets.

I bought this as a replacement for a Regatta jacket that I had for years, which was very good. This one is excellent too. Waterproof, windproof and very smart in dark blue. Zipper pocket helps with security if you are travelling and have to keep passports on you.

My previous jacket had a ‘secret pocket’, which zipped and was inside the jacket, this one does not have that, which is a pity because it was a useful feature. It is advertised as lined but the lining is the special net -type lining which keeps moisture away from your body; it’s not a lining that keeps you warm.

My advise is to buy a size bigger than you need so that you can wear a jumper or sweatshirt underneath, especially if you’re going to wear it as your main winter coat.

I love this jacket. It’s great for everyday wear and looks great. It’s especially good for the cold weather. Keeps you warm and repells the wind and rain. Worth every penny and I will most definitely be buying the Regatta brand again.

I fit into Regatta’s (and other manufacturer’s) guide for Large, so I ordered a Large size jacket. The jacket I received was very tight across the chest and had very short sleeves – nowhere near a normal Large size.

The supplier refused to replace it with a larger jacket and made me pay to return it even though they misrepresented it as being a Large size. Not happy. Got another jacket elsewhere.

First about the reviewer: I won’t give 5 stars unless the product was both amazing in quality as proved in use and amazing in pricing at the same time. So three stars is not a bad review on my scale.

I just spent the last couple of days wearing the garment out in rain while in the city. Temperature was in the 50’s and rain was light to moderate, with occasional stronger showers. I was never in a downpour with the jacket, but there were windy times when the rain was moderate but coming sideways, straight at the front.

On that occasion I didn’thave on rain pants and my bottom half was completely soaked, so I had a comparison of how well the jacket worked compared to no jacket, but that’s not a very demanding test (I was drenched from the bottom of the jacket down).

The zipper did not leak. I’ve seen leakage from other allegedly waterproof zippers. Like most other garments of this type, it did allow moisture to build up inside when I perspired from more vigorous exercise; I wasn’t out under the right kind of conditions to find out if it would allow me to dry out from the inside as other breathable jackets have done for me on day hikes.

I had pit zippers open most of the time but zipped up when wind was blowing rain into the openings. Hood adjustments worked the way they’re supposed to, and after being out for an hour or more I came home quite dry inside the jacket.

I had things in the pockets that also stayed dry with the zippers up all the way. The hood adjustments and sleeve Velcro adjustments worked fine and are what you would expect on a garment of this type in this price range.

I previously had a much less expensive outer layer purchased several years ago that leaked around the zipper, which wasn’t waterproof but covered by a Velcro’d flap. So for the considerably higher outlay in cash, I would expect quality performance as far as keeping me dry.

The fit and feel seem like a quality garment, but it’s basically brand new and I have no idea how it will age. I bought an extra-large as I like to have room inside for a lot of layers should the need arise and also to give the jacket room to flap around for ventilation if only wearing with one layer under, as I did earlier today.

That works OK for me for my purposes.

It was a difficult moment deciding to buy this jacket at the high price and I felt uneasy about it for days. A rain shell at 600. However, I’m glad I did now and here’s my thoughts on why. 1 – super well made.

This isn’t going to get ripped easily like some of the lightweight options and thus is going to last a long time (I’m almost positive). The sleeves are long and I thought that was odd when I tried it on – but I realize now it’s designed that way as they expect you to Velcro fit the sleeves to your wrist size (ish) making for a perfect fit and the crumpling above looks good.

It’s a very stylish jacket actually. 2. Pockets are big and in just the right height – they aren’t lined but they keep your hands totally wind protected and warm. Add gloves and you’re set. The inside pocket fits an iPhone pro 13 Max perfectly -without a struggle (for size ref).

So any phone will fit. 3. Material is very nice. Feels like fabric to touch. I don’t find this jacket noisy. Yes it’s got a bit of a crinkle to it when you hold it brand new but once on I was not bothered by noise and it definitely softens up (in a good way).

It’s utterly impregnable to water. If you have this on you’re not getting wet up top. 4. It is warm but not as much of a sweat lodge as the reviews led me to believe. I’m currently wearing it in Wales, UK, and it’s 50F (about 10c), often windy and wet, and I have not found it sweaty or been overheating during hikes – even on good days.

I am layering it with a tshirt, a wool crew sweater, an arcteryx proton jacket (with hood) – by all accounts I should be boiling – but I’m not. I’m warm. If I want to cool simply unzip the front or the arm vents a bit.

Remove a layer etc. I realize other people may exert themselves more than me or run hotter/cooler – but it is def not a toaster and has lots of means to adjust. 5. The collar is great. When wind is blasting in your face it’s great to be able to zip that up and hide behind it.

6. The hood is fantastic and has great adjustments to cling to your head well so it’s not blowing around. The fact that it fits a bike helmet is fantastic. But with just your head it’s still great. My verdict is that this jacket is ideal for northern climates.

Obviously it’s not great for trekking a rainy day in California or Mexico (Although I did wear it in Idyllwild CA in October and was fine on a 2 hr hike) – this jacket is for rainy cold days with a bit of bite.

I’d rather have more protection that I can step down with layers than something more flimsy. Paired with some waterproof pants and boots you are totally sorted. Size wise I got a large because I like a more casual fit – I’m 5’11, 170 – fairly regular – medium fit me but the large has more versatility.

A great city jacket also! Very stylish in the darker colors. I’m not a rock climber or pro adventurer. Day hikes and a few hour long walks with the dog. I love this jacket and I’d recommend it to anyone for wet weather in temps below/around 60f.

I will say that when this first came I thought that I would sweat buckets wearing this. I kind of felt like the old wrestling sweat suits. Happy to say that was not the case. I played through 5 holes in rain and humidity and was completely dry when I took it off.

The pullover was comfortable, allowed shots with no restriction and it was mostly quiet. I would maybe size up one level. I ordered a large. I wear a large to XL depending on the product. This was a little snug.

Would recommend.

I’ve had this jacket for two months, and have used it in light ocassional rain from time to time. Recently I had the chance to use it in a steady rain, and the performance was pretty mediocre. Rain doesn’t bead up and run off.

Instead, you are protected by a waterproof (kinda) inner lining. As a result, you get a clammy feeling for the entire round. I guess it is ok for a cheaper rain jacket that you keep in the bag for pop up showers, but it is no match for a steadier rain.

On the plus side, you’ll look good in it as you prune up on the inside. Frankly I knew this was a less expensive rain jacket, but I didn’t think Zero Restriction would put out a product like this. I have two other ZR jackets and the are both excellent.

Best short sleeve rain jacket on the market! 110% water proof and wind repellent. Plus it really does live up to its brand’s name, there is zero restriction when you swing. I even wore it as my outermost layer on a 34 degree day on the course (over top of 6 other layers) and there was still no restriction.

I would say it fits a bit larger than other brands; I am often in between Large and XL and I chose Large and it fits nicely, but can still fit over top of many layers as an outer shell.

I purchased this rain jacket in both MT and LT (LT is my normal size due to broad shoulders), since the item dimensions indicated the MT should fit well (but I had doubts about the shoulder width – which is not a listed dimension, but Talls like me NEED it!).

Both of these Tall jackets were oddly sized! The MT fit well in the body – but the sleeves were attached too close to the UPPER part of the chest (and I am NOT large chested)! Per specs, this should have fit just fine.

The LT was GIGANTIC – easily a 1XT or 2XT, and almost certainly mislabeled. The bottom of the sleeves hung far BELOW the bust line! And I had to pull in the waist pulls 11” on BOTH SIDES! The material was very nice – but the snaps were so tight that I had to take extra care not to tear the thin fabric.

Such tight snaps are better suited to thick material – with some kind of reinforcement to the fabric. This jacket has nice features, and seems to fit other size types (esp petites) – but it appears (at least based on the 2 Tall sizes shipped to me) that there are issues with quality control/manufacturing of the Tall sizes.

Returned.

This review is based on first appearances, and has not yet been tested in the rain for waterproofness. I first ordered a tall large given that I’m 6’2″ and 215lbs with a long torso. That was my first mistake, as the initial jacket fit like a tent with sleeves and nothing at all like other large over-shirts purchased from here in the recent past.

To landsend’s credit, they have great customer service and I was able to swap for a Tall Medium. The T-Medium jacket fit much better overall. As far as the jacket quality: 1. ) The material feels nice, but is still quite heavy and bulky for a pack jacket if you’re at all concerned about space and weight (its about the size of a volley ball when pocketed).

2. ) The lack of double zipper is a major draw back in my book. The length is great, but there is zero elastic in the waist band, and no ability to adjust the waist when zippered closed (i. e. , you better be skinny or rely on the Velcro for closure only).

Seems like an unnecessary cost-cutting measure that a $105+ jacket should not have. 3. ) No internal pockets and the outer hand pockets are bizarrely low. Perhaps I have short arms, but you really have to straight arm down to hit the pockets.

Not at all comfortable for lazy rests. Beats a cheaper plastic poncho jacket, but no contest to a proper outdoor brand. That said, for $48 on sale, I’m hopeful this will keep me dry and cool in the humid NYC summers.

I live in a cold, wet and windy place where I am outside daily on my bicycle. This jacket is exactly what I needed to get me through autumn and not-too-cold winter days. The long length is great for keeping legs dry and allows me to stay dry if I sit down on a wet surface.

It keeps me warm until about 8C/45F, colder than that I usually wear a parka. It is lightweight, the pockets are roomy and the hood is good. I find it a stylish cut, with a nice lining color. As usual, I size down in Land’s End, with size S I can still layer light sweaters with it.

I really shopped around and tried on many jackets before buying and I’m so happy with this coat!.

Had to exchange for larger size. My grandson is a size 4, but we had to exchange for a 5-6. Even the bigger size isn’t that big in him. Great quality, good price.

Great kids jacket! Grandkids have not worn yet, but the styles are nice & we like the velcro sleeves.

Purchased this as we are having torrential downpours and our dogs still love regular walks no matter how wet it is. My regular size is 6 or 8 so purchased this in a Medium which is perfect with a NF Thermoball, heavy sweater, or Patagonia Down Sweater underneath, still looking relatively slim and being able to move my arms.

Favorite feature : Two way zipper. Love 3/4 length keeps legs dry, the zip up Pockets, Waist pull, technical lining and awesome hood fits over a thick beanie. The snaps on the side slits make it easier to use this as a jacket for running, cycling, getting in and out of a car etc.

Also this raincoat does not make noise like one is walking around in a heavy duty plastic garbage bag. Thank you REI! Great jacket, great price.

Used it during my recent trek to 4200meters altitude. During trek it started to rain and since the product is handy ,in no time I was wearing it without any trouble during hike. It’s totally water proof.

And since it’s 100% water proof it also keeps you warm, more than warm. So you don’t need heavy clothing inside , just inner and hood under it and I was sweating at 4200meters while hiking. It’s a great product.

First time I’ve used this, the pocket looked pretty promising , so I have kept my smartphone in my pocket since it was accessible while riding. The pocket filled with water and it was a big loss to my pocket since I lost my phone.

I can’t blame anyone, but shouldn’t the pocket protect whatever is inside,? And how did the pocket when fully zipped even fill with water?? It actually drowned my phone. You may want to look into the design again.

The water damage to my phone was not repairable. I still use the raincoat, but I don’t use the pocket. If there’s a pocket , we will use it, because that’s what we buy it for.

It really serves the purpose. You have option to tighten the hud as per our convenience. You have option to tighten the bottom of the coat too. Best thing is, how the coat gets folded in to a a bag. As the folding and removing is quick and easy, it is very convenient and easy to store in a backpack.

When you open the jack the folding pouch becomes a pocket for storage. I had used it to store my mobile, and it does not get wet.

I have been searching for some time for a waterproof, breathable and versatile jacket that is also sustainable. I specifically wanted a jacket that I could wear running but also for walks. I realise this is a tall order but this jacket ticks all the boxes.

It is very waterproof, highly breathable (a must for runners) and whilst it isn’t designed specifically for running, it’s thoughtful features such adjustable cuffs, adjustable hood and two way zip, in my view make it perfect for running as the jacket allows for movement.

The pockets are well placed plus there’s also a secure internal pocket. Also, the pockets are roomy and can fit a large phone and more. The jacket is amazing when it comes to breathability. Most ‘breathable’ jackets have residual moisture inside after a run, but not this jacket.

It really IS BREATHABLE! The jacket is the perfect size – not too tight, not too bulky and with enough room for layering. It’s also smart enough to wear shopping or on your commute which makes it highly versatile.

It’s also a huge plus that it is made from recycled material (even the packaging is sustainable) so helping the planet too. I love this jacket and wouldn’t hesitate to buy another. Thank you Finistere for your thoughtful product design.

I’d read review after review before settling on the Stormbird. I’d kept it in my tabs forever, planning to get it ‘one day’ then spotted that it was now available in French Blue so bit the bullet and ordered.

I’m a slim/medium build 5’8 and bought a small and it’s as if it’s been made for me. (Knowing the model’s build makes such a difference when buying online). Like others I bought in good weather so haven’t given it a try in the rain but in every other aspect it’s 10/10.

Feels superior to any other rain coat I’ve worn before, well built and a luxurious feel. The colour is a showstopper too, so glad I didn’t go for black as planned. The eco credentials and small touches like compostable bags add up.

Very very pleased with it.

I bought this jacket a couple months ago and it has not disappointed! The cut is perfect and so comfortable, I particularly love the hood under which my bobble hat fits comfortably and the neck guard which prevents any wind draft getting in – I find I not longer need a scarf even in windy weather.

The pockets are another great feature: very roomy, I can comfortably fit a takeaway coffee cup or my hat and gloves. The zip is very sturdy and easy to handle even with thick gloves. I have worn this jacket daily on the cold and very wet Devon coast, so far the waterproofing has not let me down despite long walks in heavy rain and a hail storm.

The material is lovely and thick so very insulating: even by 2* temperatures I only need my thin down and a base layer to stay warm when out walking. I guess the down side is it gets a bit warm when walking up big hills as not the most breathable but no worse than with my other waterproof shells.

The only shame is that it doesn’t come in a more cheerful colour. but the black is universal and classy!.

I’ve had the jacket for 2 months now and absolutely love it! I needed a new durable, versatile waterproof shell that could function just as well in the city as it does on the slopes, and I am not disappointed.

I heard a few reviews saying the jacket feels a heavy but I would have to disagree. Of course, depending on the other jackets you compare it to, this jacket is a few grams heavier however, considering the durable, soft and supple, and substantial feeling of the face fabric I would argue it feels very robust compared to other lighter jackets.

It truly feels like one burly, do it all jacket that I am certain wouldn’t break a sweat in the backcountry brushing up against trees or branches. What I love is just how veritable this jacket is. You can wear it skiing and then it works just as well around town.

Its Gore-tex waterproof membrane works very well as does a great job and keeping you dry even when conditions get very wet. One thing to note is that the jacket does “wet-out” after being exposed to a heavy downpour for a substantial length of time (20+ minutes).

The moisture never soaks through but the jacket feels substantially heavier and less pleasant to wear. I know this is common with many waterproof jackets, and it was never really a problem for me as it dries very quickly but I thought I would mention it.

Breathability is also adequate. It doesn’t get clammy when building up a sweat but you can feel some moisture retained on the inside. As someone who is of an average build, 80kg, and 6ft, I purchased the size medium and found the fit to be perfect.

It is not too trim but definitely not baggy or loose. It still retains plenty of space to layer underneath (even 3+ layers). The length I found perfect for any daily activity as well as skiing and the drop-back hem is excellent.

The hood is helmet-compatible but even when not wearing a helmet I haven’t found it to be too large and obtrusive; the extra room and laminated brim prevents water from dripping down on your face especially when it’s windy.

The hood is also quite adjustable so it’s pretty easy to get the desired fit. The only thing I would like to see improved is removing and replacing the flap over the reverse coil zipper under the armpits with a waterproof zipper instead, as the flap often gets in the way when moving your arms or with ski/trekking poles and feels you’re always tugging or pulling on something.

Overall, I would highly recommend this jacket if you’re looking for a highly tough and rugged jacket that works just as well day-to-day as it does in the backcountry, during colder conditions such as in the fall or winter with a mid-layer beneath.

However, if you’re primarily looking for a spring or lightweight jacket that has a trim fit, outstanding breathability, and a thicker face fabric isn’t too important, other jackets may be a better choice.

This jacket is 100% NOT waterproof. I went into my local Patagonia, and did a quality exchange. The replacement jacket is exactly the same, water coming through the seams, no beading, jacket changing colour to a much darker blue, in areas that are hit by rain first, then rain coming through the jacket, into the pockets! Both times, I brought in the jacket wet so they could see what was wrong.

I did wash and dry it as instructed, I am SUPER careful with my gear, as I used to work for another technical gear company. The only solution the Patagonia store could recommend was to upgrade to the Triolet.

Thankfully, the colour I want, Alpine Blue, is on sale, so I won’t lose any money. For reference my Calcites were both Alpine Blue. LOVE the size, and style of the jacket, shame it’s not good quality.

I wonder if the manufacturer even coated the jacket with DWR to begin with.

I bought this jacket in July of 2020. Everything seemed fine. In the fall, I finally use it when it’s raining, and it turns out the thing isn’t waterproof. I went to my local Patagonia outlet and they helped me exchange it, no problem.

It’s been about a year since the exchange, and my second one is no longer waterproof. There was a torrential downpour yesterday. After 20 minutes walking around in the rain, I was soaked. I haven’t washed it with regular detergent.

I know that degrades the Gore Tex, so don’t know what’s going on. I’m pretty choked especially considering the price point. We’re in for another 10 days of intense rain, and I’m not sure what I’m going to do.

This jacket has been worn more than I expected. I’ve used it in the cold winter months with thick wool layers underneath, cool spring days, and now warm spring rains. What I like about this jacket is that it has stretch for movement, the pit zips, the big hand pockets, the inside zip pocket, the hood that covers just right, the zip/snap closure in the front, and the beautiful Ocean Blue color.

Particularly, the zip/snap combination of the front closure is great for when you want to really bundle up (zip and snap) or just throw on quickly and snap a couple snaps! It’s lightweight, versatile, and looks good.

The fabric is soft and comfortable. I’d love to see this exact design and color in thigh length with an adjustable waist and two-way zipper (hint hint, LLBean). This is a keeper!.

When I got this I thought it was a shirt or something small since the package was so small and light. It was my rain jacket. It fits well with enough room to layer. I ordered Petite Medium in black. I can wear my light fleece jacket underneath, and I don’t feel constrained.

I can use it as a windbreaker, too. This eliminates the need to bring extra outwear. The hood has drawstrings around the crown area so I can fit it to my head and don’t need to wear a cap to keep it from blowing off.

The brim doesn’t stick out much so if it’s really rainy I might still need to wear a cap underneath to keep water from dripping on my face. I put in on and stood in the shower for a bit (I always test rain gear out in the shower).

I was perfectly dry. I don’t know how it would be if I was out in a rain storm for hours but this is for fall so I don’t think I’ll be in that situation.

I got this rain jacket for my husband. He likes it for weekly wear when going to work in the rain but wishes it were longer for weekend hiking. It looks great and is fashionable but it is not as practical as it could be.

It is too short. He wishes it were longer to really keep him dry in the rain. Honestly, this is a nice looking raincoat for someone who is dashing from the car to an office, but if you want to go for a hike in the rain this will not keep you dry and comfortable.

I think of LLBean as adventure gear, but this jacket does not measure up to that standard. I gave it four stars because it looks nice and is well made, but again, will it really keep him dry on a hike, no.

Hi bought this coat as I needed to upgrade my rain jacket. This met all expectations! The stretch and waterproof fabric is great and the buttons on the sleeves are helpful to seal in. Like: The material being waterproof and stretch.

Removable hood is why I purchased this one vs the outpour. Suggestions: There’s 4 pockets on the front of this coat, is this necessary? I know the outpour has less, but the hood wasn’t removable. It’s a good zip up, but sometimes I’d just like to snap one button to keep it partially closed (when it’s not completely raining), so maybe button ups on the front.

The stretchseal is a little warmer than other rain coats, likely due to the material hence why I would want a button or ‘partially closed’ option vs completely zipped up or completely open. Anyways happy with this coat as I needed a black raincoat to last me a few years! This looks like it’ll do the trick :).

This is a very solid jacket from lululemon, it would be nice to have an additional inside pocket but nevertheless the exterior pockets can make up for it. The extra long sleeve are nice for my people with more athletic body silhouettes and the waterproof shell makes this a great piece to have incase of some light rain.

Fits TTS with room for a shirt, henley, or long sleeve underneath and the snap buttons throughout work great. Great jacket and I highly recommend.

Bought these for my sons and grandson to take to Costa Rica surf camp. It’s rainy season. They are great looking, light weight and the hood means they won’t need the recommended umbrella. Really nice fabric! Feels great.

Lululemon quality! Had originally thought I’d get black, but the great price of this linen color was irresistible!.

I bought this jacket in 2012. It’s the single best purchase I have made. It stays in my truck all year. It’s light enough to wear during a summer rain, but oddly warm enough to wear as my only warming layer for much of the winter.

I literally don’t go anywhere without it and it has held up great. But I have recharged it a couple times. I recently went into a Cabelas to look if they still sold these. I was happy to see they did.

I don’t like the new gray-colored “guidewear” logo on them. The older jacket’s logo said “Cabelas” in the same color as the jacket. But other than that they seem identical (and I looked over ever seam, like a crazy person).

I have seen a couple reviews where people said there’s didn’t hold up after a couple hours. I find that hard to believe unless they’re not laundering the jacket correctly. My wife and I would wear these (and the pants) to college football games in Texas during a downpour and never once got wet (so +4 hours including the walk to and from).

I also wear it hiking/hunting, but in my current area it never rains for that long. Let’s be honest here, this is a Goretex brand jacket with Canelas name on it. It’s identical to the jacket I wore in the military (also held up great).

I bought the Cabelas brand because it was less expensive and I like them as a company. And it has been so good to me that I’m here to buy one for a family member, and I’m going to get myself another one because my current one has to wear out at some point, right?.

I have a couple of these jackets and the refinements seem to get better over the years. Now, they truly are jackets with lots of adjustable features. Since they are designed as lightweight and packable jackets, one might not find everything one would like on them, like an inside pocket, but such additions would add weight and bulk.

With that said, they have plenty of details worth noting: an exterior zipped chest pocket, two large zipped chest pockets, a 2 way adjustable hood with cord locks which is actually effective, and a nice storage bag.

Further, they come in tall sizes for those of us with longer arms. Buy one. It’s good gear. These jackets are not designed to be one’s primary weather beater in December. They are designed to be your lightweight, packable, waterproof, breatheable option for spring, summer and early autumn.

They fill this role perfectly.

Haven’t tested jacket in the rain yet but like the appearance of it. Got the 3x, I’m 6ft, 52in chest,42in waist,270 lbs and it fits well. Could also wear a heavy sweatshirt underneath in the fall. Its nice enough to wear out and about but I bought it specifically for fishing.

Love that it packs away in a wee pouch, just leave it with my fishing gear and forget about it. Time will tell.

I bought 2 of these jackets a few months ago for hiking in the rain. First I got the melon. It is so gorgeous that I decided there’s no way I can wear it hiking in the rain and mud for it to get filthy.

So I ordered the black. These jackets are super comfortable. Light weight and soft. They move very nicely with you. The fit is flattering. My big issue with the jackets is that they aren’t truley waterproof.

Therefore not the best for a rain jacket. I would say they are highly water resistant. If you’re in a drizzle, no problem. Even a light to moderate rain for a short period, it’s still good. But if you’re out for a while in heavier rains or moderate rains for a long time, you WILL get wet.

By the time I make it home, my shirt is wet. I do love the brim on the hood. The sizing of the jacket is important with that, though. If the jacket fits a little big, when the hood is secured, the brim falls in my face and blocks my vision.

If the jacket fits just right, the hood and brim are great.

Why would the sleeves not have closures like buttons or velcro to keep them closed like all other rain shells I’ve had? The sleeves are short and lifting your arms even a little exposes your forearms.

So strange. Why would I want a dry torso and head but wet arms? No wonder it’s on clearance! Seems to be very nice otherwise, just with an astonishing design flaw that’s hard to understand how it made it into production.

I bought this jacket over a month ago and waited to write a review once I had a chance to test it in the rain. The other day I went fly-fishing in a pretty good downpour and stayed dry the entire time.

The jacket is comfortable and runs a little larger, which I was hoping for because then I can layer for warmth. It also fits inside its own pocket for convenient packing when not needed. The material seems pretty durable–I caught it on a fence post and thought I’d ripped it, but when I checked, it survived without any tears.

I have worn the coat once during an early wet, windy cold snap. Since then temperatures have been too high to wear it. My wife urged me to buy a Seasalt coat as she has worn summer & winter weight ones for several years.

They still look good and perform well after a lot of wear but also feel “just right”. Sure enough, I cannot wait to wear mine again. It is thoughtfully cut and has a couple of hand warmer pockets behind the main ones.

They have stitched ridges that help them lay flat and closed when not in use. It is a coat and is comfortable to wear without any extra ‘gismos’. except the important one, Seasalt quality. The coat is fairly roomy so, if you are not sure of which size you need, it really IS worth measuring around the chest and taking the Seasalt sizing as accurate if not in a shop.

I bought online and chose an XL. It was too roomy around my torso but also had arms that were a bit too long. I returned it to the Exeter store and staff happily sent the coat back, gave me a size L and let me try it on.

Perfect! It all took just ten minutes. I had to pay for the replacement then wait for a refund of my original payment but I was kept fully informed via email. The refund was received in 3 days, much sooner than expected.

Nice quality fabric, good warmth and length, adequate pockets. The coat would work as smart or casual. Finding a waterproof coat in this length is difficult. My husband struggles a little with the zip being on the “wrong” side, surely this could be easily fixed? The hood could do with being more adjustable as it’s on the large side and falls too far forward over his eyes.

It fits rather big, he is usually size Large but needed Medium in this coat. But we like that it’s a quality item from a British brand, nicely packaged, delivered quickly (and easily returned via a local store if necessary).

Bought as a Christmas gift for my husband and he says it’s the best coat he’s ever had. Has some lovely unexpected little touches, like the subtle anchor on the sleeve. It’s an excellent weight, a light warm coat and the fabric feels good.

It’s definitely waterproof and versatile, can be worn smart or casual. Good value. Sizing is accurate, the zip and poppers work well and the colour is really nice. I think this will be a huge favourite with the Sea Salt male shoppers.
