This is the second one
"This is the second one I own. Loved the first one so much I thought I would have a different color. Light weight, fits well, great outer layer."
— David K. (5/5)
Nice, but prefer fit of lightweight version
"Please come back out with lightweight version. It’s nice, but I do prefer the fit of the lightweight version. Also, please raise the hand pockets so they sit above the padded hip belt. Like a FS windbreaker, but a bit more breathable."
— Noah (4/5)
Incredible Jacket
"Absolutely love this jacket. So durable and stretches. My go to travel jacket. I sprayed with DWR to make it super water repellent. Stool breathes beautifully."
— BW (5/5)
So good!
"Just so so good!!! The only & super minor complaint is that it is a pet hair magnet but maybe that’ll chill out once it’s worn a bit?"
— Travis C. (5/5)
First usage, pre 5K race
"First usage, pre 5K race but it was too warm to wear in the race. Two days later I left on a Lake Superior Circle Tour starting in Michigan, up I-75 into Canada. I have worn this as an over garment with my down vest for three days straight and am very satisfied. Good in light rain and wind. This is a winner."
— Douglas W. (5/5)
Worth the money!
"A great shell! Repels water, blocks wind and is very comfortable to wear. And it's made in the USA!! I didn't really need another shell but I'm glad I made the purchase. I wear it while rucking and around town running errands. I'm 5'11", 160#, thin/athletic build and the medium fits like a glove. I can comfortably wear the GORUCK long sleeve merino top underneath. Anything much thicker than that and I would probably have to go up to a large. The main zipper seems a bit sketchy as it's not very smooth but so far it hasn't let me down. I'd definitely buy another!"
— Matthew L. (5/5)
"Excellent lightweight fabric. Runs slightly large—if you are between sizes, pick the smaller size. A little pricey, but GORUCK products are super premium and durable, so I think the price is justified."
— Kurt (5/5)
6’2” 225 Athletic build, I
"6’2” 225 Athletic build, I am in between sizes. But only in the arms. Length and forearm. But the Large works with just a T short and XL for more layers. I love it, wicks moisture like nothing else. Drys stupid quickly. Rucked in a heavy downpour for about an hour. Kept me dry. That aspect may fade with multiple washes. But it dried in 20 mins. Crazy."
— Bethany R. (5/5)
Love it
"I was a bit skeptical because I couldn’t try it on first but the XL was perfect I’ve been wearing a XXL shirt size recently noticed I could wear an XL without looking like a pre-bust can of biscuits. But I love it, super light and tough."
— Joshua H. (5/5)
Quality is amazing, well worth
"Quality is amazing, well worth the money. Very excited to purchase other items! The sizing was perfect, and the materials feel premium."
