Wonderful waterproofing!

I used this jacket on a month long canoe trip and it was a life saver!!! Most effective waterproofing I've had, and very breathable. Kept me very dry and the slight stretch and generous roominess of the design made it perfect for layering.

Great rain shell! Got it in Harbor, nice deep color. It's a hard shell, sensible, sturdy, and well constructed. It'll stuff easily and the side zips are perfect for those mixed weather days. I'll be using w additional under layers come winter. Thumbs up OR ??

Best plus size rain jacket on the market

I recently bought a plus size Aspire 3L and it's been a serious upgrade to my previous rain jacket from REI. It's really kept the water out during the rainy PNW spring, the material is super durable but not crazy heavy, and the side zippers for making the jacket breathable is a great touch. I do field work and I have no doubt that this jacket will do great while hiking through the car wash shrubs this summer.

Works Well

I like this jacket except that I never put it on or take it off without wishing there was a velcro tab near the top of the collar so I could hang it up without it wanting to slide off the hanger.
