Excellent waterproof shell. Lightweight, doesn't cause overheating during physical activity like the shells with inner lining. I wasn't keen on it when looking online because it looked like it was going to be "crinkly plastic" but it isn't. All while handling heavy downpours. Overall much higher quality than alternatives for the same price. anacondastores.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
