A keeper!   05-02-08
W.S. in Ohio (4): rank
Wow! This jacket really DOES repel moisture! I haven't worn it outside, but tested the waterproofing by sticking my arm (in the jacket sleeve) underneath a faucet - and the water just rolled right off! Overall, a great value at sale price. I ordered a small (I normally buy size small shirts) and there is enough room for a vest underneath to wear when I go XC skiing out West. The jacket itself is incredibly light. The only part I don't like are the cuffs (hence my 4 star rating). I wish there was more of a hem on them because it looks like the fabric just stops at the end of the sleeve. Maybe Columbia will add this to a future version of this jacket? The cuffs are adjustable, however, which is a must have for me. Sleeve length is just right - I would caution those with long arms to possibly order up a size.
