Great light coat. Keeps out even the most torrential rain. Enough room to layer a sweater underneath.

This is the perfect rain jacket. Its fit is true to size. Typically we buy North Face but I found this cut to be more flattering. It's a great classic grab and go jacket.

Great jacket! I needed a lightweight jacket for spring and this one is perfect. The hood is great and doesn't get in the way. I can easily wear a sweatshirt underneath. And Zappos service is wonderful!

I ordered Pantagonia Torrentshell Jacket a few months ago and I really like it! I live in the Pacific Northwest and it rains a lot out here. The jacket is light weight enough to layer and warm enough to wear alone! I ordered size XS and it's still a little roomy for me. Runs big, I think. My only complaint is the drawstring attached to the side of the hood. I haven't had to use it and don't think I ever will. It's more of an eye sore than anything else. Still love the jacket though!

Just took this jacket on a two week sailing trip to Maine. Lots of wind and rainy conditions. Excellent waterproof shell, breathable. The hood stays on your head (I had a hoodie under it for warmth). Zipper goes way up over chin which was perfect for my use. Blocks wind. Great color too, I also loved the raspberry color. Really good rain jacket for the price. Comfortable on your skin. Only con is it does not seem to roll up into its own pocket. I just rolled it into the hood instead.

This jacket runs really big. The sleeves are far too long for me. Nevertheless, I kept it because the green gecko color is so cool. I needed a real rain jacket that would make me visible in the early morning hours, so it fits the bill. Just order a size smaller than you normally would, especially if you're on the thin side.

Brands I'd also recommend: None. Patagonia\'s the best!

Love my jacket. Took it to a week long hiking/camping trip in Yosemite and it worked perfectly. I really like the pit zip ventilation when hiking long distances in changing climate.

I needed a shell for my trip to Alaska that would protect me from the rain and can be layered under. This one worked out great. I'm still trying to figure out the cords on the hood and the sides, but otherwise this is a versatile jacket for many temperatures and conditions.

This is the perfect waterproof shell jacket! I got the blue color. It looks a bit darker in reality than on the computer. Nevertheless, it's still a beautiful color. I am of petite size, so the sleeves were a bit long. I would recommend ordering true to size; there is plenty of room if you want to layer with a warmer jacket underneath. I was kept completely dry while wearing this jacket. I highly recommend this for college students who are fed up with using umbrellas!!

I got this jacket because I have another Patagonia raincoat and loved it (the Rain Shadow Trench). I am a visiting nurse who visits patients in their homes in NYC so I am always outdoors in NY's unpredictable weather. I have had this jacket for a over a month and have used it all through September and October...rain can't touch me. It is also light enough to wear in warmer weather (like today, it was 70+ F) and also has kept me warm when NY recently had 40 degree weather -- great for layering. It's very durable, as my other Patagonia raincoat has been; it can be packed up into a ball to stow away into your bag, and the zippers and pullstops seem very durable. It is also low maintenance. I've thrown mine in the washer and dryer with no changes to the jacket at all. I got the gray color -- it matches my uniform and looks sporty. I love it! I do not regret the purchase and think the price is well worth it!

This is a great jacket and an excellent price for such good quality. Super technical jacket with lots of bells and whistles. Ever been stuck in the windy rain with a hooded jacket that the hood won't stay on? No problem with the cinch cords on this jacket. Great inside pocket too! By the way, love you Zappos - ordered at 7pm and had it in my hot little hands before 12noon the next day.

This jacket was perfect, great fit, comfortable, lightweight and rain proof without feeling like you are wearing a plastic bag. The material breathes and the style is quite nice. It was a home run for me.

The jacket is very long. Normally I like things long, but this is a little overpowering on my short frame. I had a North Face jacket that finally wore out after many years. I liked it better. This seems more breathable though. I wish I had bought black. One person called me a purple person in this, while two others said they like the color. I like the zipper and Velcro closure. It does feel big. There are plastic tabs at the base of the hood that I sometimes I see out of the corner of my eye and I think it is a bug! Zappos' customer service is top notch though!

Gorgeous color and a great rain jacket! I wore it to a very rainy football game recently, and I was the only person whose jacket actually kept the water out and did not absorb. You have to layer it for warmth, but that's to be expected with a shell like this. I got an XS and it's still slightly large.

Bought the X-Sm in this black jacket and like the fit. Good length and style for a hooded windbreaker/rain jacket.

Great jacket! Definitely waterproof since I have worn it in some pretty rough weather! Very happy with my purchase.
