Patagonia Rain Shadow Jacket - Men's
Many outdoor companies profess to support preservation of the outdoors, but Patagonia is the flag carrier of the movement. In-house programs drive environmental responsibility, while product designs incorporate the same ideals into clean, functional, purpose-built clothing. From cutting-edge technical outerwear to stylish casual summer wear, Patagonia’s quality of construction and design is seldom matched.

Awesome jacket!   06-07-05
twhite5 (6): rating
This is a great rain (and all around) jacket. I've worn it hiking and biking and it breathes well and keeps you super dry. It's also light (thanks to waterproof zippers) and room to layer under. This will be my only jacket for spring/summer/fall.

Serious piece of gear. Vents work great during hot, sticky, heavy thunderstorms in the city. Definite possibilities for skiing. I've given away two already, mother's and father's day.

Nice jacket...   09-23-05
Panwala (3): rating
The Patagonia Rain Jacket was impressive. I tried it on in the shower for 10 minutes and it didn't get wet. I ended up keeping the North Face Venture because it was a better fit.

underperformer and overpriced   07-09-07
wakesox (5): rating
I am surprised by the positive reviews thus far. This jacket will not keep you dry for more than an hour in a rain storm. It does not breathe well (very hot) and fits poorly. Any cheaper brand, (ems ect.) will perform the same for half the price. The only positive is its compressibility and quick drying. However I would never rely on this jacket on a backpacking trip or for anything more than an hour or two in moderate rain. I spent a few bucks more and got an OR jacket with Gore-Tex. Huge difference.

awesome   02-26-07
Lucian Palomar (1): rating
the Patagonia rain shadow jacket is incredible. it is lightweight, very breathable and completely waterproof. it packs down to the size of a nalgene bottle which has been very beneficial while backcountry skiing. the longer cut in the back makes it work while biking. the hood is well constructed. it is very easy to adjust even with gloves on and fits well over a helmet. this is the go-to jacket for all conditions except severe winter storms. i highly recommend this jacket.

Not overly impressed with the Rain Shadow. Used the jacket in Rocky Mountain NP during a big rainstorm. Cuffs were soaked through as were the shoulder areas. What happened with the so called "waterproofness" of this jacket?

Excellent lightweight, waterproof shell. Only complaint is the hood storage is not well-designed or efficient.

Great jacket for many conditions   11-07-05
theMule (12): rating
I hiked with this jacket for the 1st time. It packed really small and was so lightweight I didn't notice it in my day pack. But when the sun went down and the wind picked up on the ridge I was sitting on, it was nice to have. It stopped the wind and I was actually warm with just fleece and a cotton tee layering. My only complaint is that the sleeves are too long, otherwise it’s a great jacket. Consider one size smaller than you normally wear.

fashionable, light   10-17-05
jumbojef (1): rating
I haven't tested the jacket in a squall yet (probably as a shell). So far, it's been great as a light jacket against unpredictable weather, as you can carry it almost anywhere (stuffed into the extra space in a book bag for example that's already full of books). Good emergency jacket.

Good Jacket   08-19-08
bigasherm512747 (1): rating
I have used the Rainshadow jacket in the rain several times this summer, including a Canadian fishing trip where it rained off and on for two days. This trip included rain blowing in at forty five degree angles and a fifteen minute deluge where it rained so hard that the visibility wasn't more than a few feet. The jacket kept me dry. I like the design of the hood and the pit zips provide good ventilation. The zipper is kind of hard to use but it does keep the rain out.

Great Jacket!   07-28-08
Moore (20): rating
I used it a couple of weekends ago in the rain for two straight days. The coat is consistent with the design and quality of the Patagonia brand. It's very lightweight, packs into nothing at all, sheds water very well. The pockets are well positioned and very functional. The pit zips work great. I was hoping the fabric would be a little more breathable that's my only criticism. Overall it's a good coat at a good value. I'm sure its going to get years of service.

Not Impressive   08-17-07
arcteryxbird (2): rating
This jacket appears promising at first, but lets you down in the end. Performs well in a light shower or sudden storm, but ultimately gets wet quickly. As stated, shoulders and cuffs soak through in no-time, though moisture tends to not penetrate for a little while. Pack it for an around-the-town emergency jacket but stick to your 3-layer Gore-Gex for any serious endeavors.

Good for everyday use   06-06-07
Maxpwr1 (4): rating
I have Patagonia dragonfly that I use when I hike. However during hail storm in the Sierra last year, condensation left me wet. So I was looking for something 'to fix' the condensation problem - I am still not sure if I am going to use this for the hike since the dragonfly is only 2 ounce. However, I use this jacket during rainy days and it works well to shelter me from the elements.

Forever my rain jacket   05-14-07
Maxpwr1 (4): rating
I have had Patagonia dragonfly for 4 years now. During my trip to the Sierra last year, in the hail storm, I realized that I need a better rain jacket - although still light. I ordered the medium size in the beginning but then exchange for small - having lost 10 lbs in 1 year. This jacket will be used for all activities - a great buy!

Success   03-21-07

Excellent rain jacket, keeps out the drizzles and the deluges despite the light weight. Not the warmest jacket out there, decent windbreaking capability, but an all-around good buy I expect to last a good while.

warm & dry   03-06-07
turtle (1): rating
Bought this jacket 3 weeks ago to have as a light secondary ski jacket, to replace a Gore-Tex shell that's falling apart. What i ended up with is an ultralight, remarkably wind resistant and very waterproof wonder. Thus far it's been worn thru 2 snow storm's and pouring down rain. Highly recommend it to anyone who's into the outdoors.

AN UNCOMPROMISING PRODUCT   01-31-08
candor (7): rating
The Rain Shadow fits true to size but it is cut with a stylish, relaxed fit that is ideal for layering and minimizing condensation. The fabric is relatively quiet and does not hinder movement. The high quality tailoring has a low drop hem for shedding water and puts zips and cinch cords in all the right places. Patagonia has not cut any corners with this product. Having used a number of light weight rainshells and after looking at frequent claims of water penetration in nearly all models, it appears that many of us have forgotten the intended purpose of this product. It is not to protect us from a North Sea squall but it is designed to provide us with moderately breathable, waterproof protection from intermittant storms while in the backcountry. All of the plastic membrane fabrics when used with taped seams and waterproof zippers will do this. It is only when the DWR finish is compromised and breathability becomes limited, that the jacket interior can become wet due to excessive condensation. So don't be put off by misleading claims for any model. If it fits you and your needs, go for it!

Patagonia Rain Shadow   04-12-06
Susan Moss (1): rating
What a great jacket. I bought it to wear in anticipation of a wet visit to the coast of Oregon. It didn't rain a drop! The jacket worked. If you are totally prepared with the perfect gear, you won't need it! (per Murphy). Seriously, Patagonia makes the absolute best stuff. Designs, colors, functional details and materials are always top drawer and this jacket is no exception. Perfect!
