Description of Merrell Carbon Rain Jacket - Men's:
Merrell designed the Men’s Carbon Rain Jacket with all-weather athletes in mind. This jacket’s Gore-Tex Paclite fabric offers guaranteed waterproof protection that breathes like crazy during fast and light trips. Merrell designed this lightweight shell with waterproof underarm zips, putting temperature control and ventilation in your hands during soggy hikes. The Carbon's fully sealed seams provide an impenetrable barrier against wet weather, and waterproof pockets keep your small essentials bone dry.
Bottom Line: The Carbon won’t wimp out when water’s about.
I did a lot of research on the tons of Paclite jackets out there. I was hesitant because this one was about $30 more than the rest, but it's worth it. Obviously Paclite is Paclite but I really like all of the features (e.g. pockets, stowable hood etc.) that the Merrell jacket has. I also like the little bit of flair with the graphic on the back. Two thumbs up!
