Review: Size up if tall. Worth every penny - Absolutely amazing rain, true rain jacket. It's not a shell, or a wind breaker claiming to be a waterproof jacket. This is a very quality true waterproof jacket. Great hood size and can tuck away under the collar. Draw strings everywhere to get the fit just right, chest pocket and 2 regular pockets, zipper is strong and covered by 2 flaps with strong buttons so water doesn't get through the zipper. Very good and not tight like a turtle neck, neck protection. Fairly light weight as far as oz. But not thin and not a rubber suit. Perfect in between. I sized up (6'3 270lbs) belly and chest are good, little loose which is fine. Arm length and torso length are perfect. IF YOU ARE TALL SIZE UP
Review: Best jacket of my life, Scroll down for Cons. - Pros. Fits as advertised in size charts, and so far it's kept me dry though I've not been in heavy or extream weather conditions, I have been in light rain with medium wind as well as medium rain with little to no wind and so far it has not let the water in (no added water proofing was done by me its just straight out of the box) now I will say that if you want this to be your main wet weather jacket like my self I would suggest getting something to layer under it for warmth as this is not insulated so during freezing temp you too will be freezing. to circle back to sizing I'm 5,11 and 145lbs not fit just a regular build and got the extra small, my chest is 34 inches and my hips are a 30 and this jacket is by far the best fitting jacket I've had in my adult life with just enough room to get a basic sweater or zip up under for extra warmth on the days/nights that drop in temp (can be seen in pics over a basic sweater in one as well as over both the sweater and waiters in another) Cons. my only hang up is the cuffs being a neoprene (wetsuit like material) that is tight on the wrists (I have nerve damage on the top of my thumb and it can be difficult getting the cuff over without it hurting) it can also be a little difficult if you wear a watch. I'm also just not a fan of the main two pockets design there like cargo pockets but them being straight vertical designs they are not convenient for your hands as well as the tops only have a flap and doesn't actually have anything to secure the pockets closed so I don't want to trust them with anything that needs to stay dry

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Besides breathability, this is what waterproof means
*by H***X on August 15, 2026*

Yep, very happy after a long search, and incredibly reasonably priced considering all the over-promising options of 'waterproof gear' out there- F Gore Tex as much as I love it too.... Bought the jacket, sizing was a little off for me via sizing charts and exchanged a size different (sorry can't remember which way, one size up or down, but reviews should reveal which way.). Find your size and enjoy.. Will update if not as durable as the material seems, but so far after going through thick woods/sticks/briars, can't see any abrasions yet, still being a little nice. And a random shout out to Skote Outdoors who turned me on to the HH brand while watching their adventures... 🤘
