WETS OUT VERY QUICKLY. DO NOT BUY.
Maybe if this were advertised as a wind shell it would be better. This thing wet out in an hour of not heavy rain don’t take a gamble thinking “maybe mine won’t wet out.” IT WILL WET OUT QUICKLY.

Doesn’t breathe.
This jacket was billed in Runners World as the highest rated running jacket. It is probably a great hiking jacket, but even at temperatures in the 50’s it does not breathe enough to make it a great running jacket. Very water proof with very cool waterproof zippers, and very light, but the moisture buildup inside makes that irrelevant.

Does not work
Does not protect you from the rain. Got wet on the inner side after just 30 minutes of mild rain. Can be just as a windstopper. Dies not value it's cost.

Size doesn’t fit a more muscular build
I ordered an XL. Shoulders, chest and stomach is tight. With a T-shirt on, it is tight. Is definitely made for a skinny person. Very skinny person. It’s basically a light rain jacket. No pockets on the sides and material is very thin. Hood is not stowable. We will see if it holds up to a season. Only pocket is small on the chest. Wished it had a bit more room in the body. 3 stars because no side pockets, hood is not stowable, is almost $200 and the company is skimping on the extra fabric to accommodate a more muscular build.

Very disappointed
I probably should have contacted outdoor research directly. I bought this for a week long job working outside and it didn't even repel light rain. The coat material doesn't even look like normal rain coat material. It absorbed water and my clothes underneath were wet like I didn't even have the jacket on. I was very disappointed especially at the price I paid for it.
