mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Mesh interior lining keeps the jacket breathable and comfortable against skin
  • Hood with brim provides full coverage without needing a separate hat
  • Velcro storm flap over the zipper adds extra water protection
Reviewers push back
  • No interior pocket for wallet or other items
  • Hood does not detach or roll into a collar
  • Not suitable for extended periods in heavy downpour
Reviewers agree the Watertight II is a practical, comfortable rain jacket that keeps water out in moderate conditions but lacks insulation and an interior pocket.
— best for: Hikers, boaters, and anyone needing reliable rain protection for a few hours in moderate weather who value breathability and practical features over warmth.

Over all this is a superb jacket. H2No’s performance is excellent in cold weather (I already was impressed by its rainwear breathability of my Dirt Roamer Storm Bike Jacket) resisting wind, and condensation. The fabric is supple and silent, unlike many comparable Goretex jackets. The lack of pit zips makes the M10 more packable (into a chest pocket) than my pit zipped Dirt Roamer, but its venting Mike B. · patagonia.ca

I've had this jacket for 5 years now and it stays in my daily commuter bag. I was caught in the rain the first week I had, and through a south Florida downpour, it kept me dry. Over long rain events I have experienced some seaping, but that's after a long time in terrible rain. Overall, this is a great portable rain jacket. Guava · columbia.com
