What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—water resistance in heavy rain—directly echoes video reviewers' concerns about the jacket's waterproofing limitations.
In their words
“I bought the jacket because the style was excellent and I know the brand is known for quality. I was very pleased with the results. The jacket has great water wicking capabilities. The cut under the arms, sleeve length and the seams are really well done. It’s lightweight, but the moisture barrier provides an extra insulative Value. I think I’ll start looking at their clothing for other choices as ”

“I bought cielo rain Jackets for me and my whole Family for a trip we took to Iceland. They were really confortable for the summer season, for rainy weather they were pretty ok, but as soon as it rainned heavily or we were walking near the waterfalls, the water started to come through the fabric and our clothes under the jacket started to get wet.”
