I have had a few lower quality rain jackets in the past and never liked them for activities outdoors. They were stiff and plastic-y resulting in a coat that was not easy to do things like golf, or run in. I settled on this Spyder jacket because of good experiences with past Spyder products, and the fact that it was a very sharp looking coat.Fit: The jacket fits like it should as far as size goes. I normally wear a Large, and this Large was a good, maybe slightly looser than normal fit. The cut of the jacket is well designed and allows a lot of movement other rain jackets I have had would not.Material: It's hard to believe this material is as waterproof as it is. Very lightweight and high quality material is soft to the touch and very comfortable.Construction: All the seams and zippers on this are very well put together and highly waterproof. I have had zero issues with leaking or water seeping in through the seams. How it is designed and constructed is probably my favorite part of the coat.I am super happy with this coat and plan to use it for many outdoor adventures in the coming years.

This is a good value medium-duty raincoat that works well for betwixt-between sort of weather or to keep in the car to handle most situations for a short time running errands, getting from a parking lot to a store, etc.ProsFit: I like a bit of oversize for layering and since I'm on the cusp of medium/large for regular wear, went for the large and it's a perfect size in that it doesn't balloon, sleeves don't drop past my hands, it doesn't drop too low, but it goes easily and comfortably over even a thick hooded sweatshirt or even a fleece.Waterproofing: water beads up quite nicely on the jacket and it has worked fine on two rainy days. They weren't downpours and I wasn't out for hours, but they were good good showers (steady rain, not a drizzle or light rain) and I was out for about 20 minutes. Kept me perfectly dry both timesBreathability: has a mesh backing for some ventilation. Given its thinness/lightness, that's probably fine, particularly for everyday use (I have a much, much more expensive raincoat for hiking--I don't expect this price point to be super breathable)warmth: it's really a light raincoat. It's thin, light, not insulated, so if you're looking for warmth you want either a different coat entirely or you want to size up so you can layer below it. For the northeast, it's a fine raincoat in summer on its own and good over a sweatshirt in early spring/late fall. It works fine as a windbreakerConveniences:I quite like the cinching method on the hood, find it much better than the usual simple drawcord on similarly priced or cheaper raincoatsPocket are nice (hate coats without them) but wish it had a chest pocket either exterior or interior, even a small onegiven it's thinness, it would have been nice if it folded into a pocket. You can crumple it small, but it's not designed to self-contain itselfall in all a good value for its good points and the "down" points aren't that big a deal, particularly if like me you have a number of situational raincoats.

Like hybrid cars, this hybrid Rain Jacket/Windbreaker from Spyder is a compromise. Get caught in the Perfect Storm and you'd prefer a slicker, or in a desert sandstorm and you'd want an unlined windbreaker. This is a jacket for those of us who don’t work on a fishing boat or live in the Sahara, as the product description says, ”…to handle unpredictable conditions.”Perhaps it was that hybrid goal that made Spyder forego a tuck-in collar for the hood. Like a slicker. And a stuff sack sewn into the lining to carry the jacket when not in use. Like a windbreaker. The waterproof lining also adds warmth for a rainy day but makes it heavier and less breathable than a vented windbreaker.But not everything is a compromise. The jacket ran true-to-size. It draped well and has a more luxurious feel than windbreaker Polyester. The olive color also is rich. The hood may be “always on,” but its “hook and loop adjuster” is more refined than a drawstring and tougher to “lose” while laundering. Zipper and storm flap are heavy duty. The price also is less than I paid for my last windbreaker years ago. Making me [see headline].🙂

This jacket is a great lightweight rain jacket. The material is pretty soft for a rain jacket and doesn’t feel stiff like some lesser brands. Sizing feels good and fits wonderfully. The two zippered pockets are nice to stash some quick gloves or phone. overall, it’s a great rain jacket for the price and the Spyder brand quality.

This stylish rain jacket is made of quality materials, and provides a comfortable fit. Sizing is accurate – it fits my chest and shoulders perfectly. The sleeves are a little longer, but with gathered wrist closure I can keep my hands out, and I can tuck my hands in the sleeves in inclement weather. The jacket is folded neatly in the packaging which makes for a good gift.
