Had this jacket for a few years and have loved everything about it. Took it mountaineering on Mt Adams and wore it riding the icy glissade route down 2,000+ feet. The abrasion of the ice rubbed off much of the fabric on the inside of the back area, so no my jacket is now trashed. My rain pants were un-affected. Would still recommend as it has been awesome for skiing, hiking, backpacking, mountaine foxwren · moosejaw.com

I purchased and men's and a woman's Trail Model Rain Jacket for a trip to Europe. The jacket was easy to pack, lightweight, and had plenty of pockets. We wore them on a very windy and rainy day in Bayona, Spain. It was so rainy that our pants and shoes were soaking wet. The jacket kept everything under it dry. This was a good purchase for us. I especially like the sapphire blue color which was eas flipper · llbean.com
