Emily Keddie's review
Worn on fastpacking, FKTs, 100+ milers, and stage races, this ultralight rain jacket is hands down the BEST I've ever had. Rain jackets have historically been frustrating because they don't vent, or lose their waterproofing. This jacket has been one of my favorite items of gear. Love it.
