GoLite Phantasm Jacket - Men's

I really did like this jacket, it worked well, and kept the rain out. The only problem -- it kept the sweat in. There weren't any pit-zips, so theres no way to vent out your heat. Especially when hiking, you can't really wear it for too long otherwise you'll get wet anyway.

As advertised. Light, waterproof and comfortable.

Great Jacket. At first I did not know if not having pit zips would be a drawback, but it has turned out not to be an issue because of the goretex fabric that wicks really well. one thing i would have like to have was a hood adjustment. Other than that it is a great jacket that keeps the water out, packs down small and weighs nothing.

Can you find a better made, ultra-light waterproof breathable jacket. 11 oz and folds away to nothing. It is the perfect outer layer for light weight packing, layered warmth and dryness.

I used this as a shell while snowboarding and it snowed continuously for a day. Not a single drop got through this. The material is very soft almost satin like on the outside. Very light weight and the zippers work great. The only issue is that it wont zip up to the top smoothly. The flap on the inside which has soft material for your face gets caught in it. No problem though, you just move it as you zip up.

great jacket though -- would highly recommend it

As with all GoLite gear, my satisfaction has been met. It's a very light jacket and is great and durable even aside from it being so light. My other shell doesn't have side hand pockets, so that's a plus for me. I enjoy sliding my hands into pockets on the cold days. This jacket is mostly used for hiking or camping trips, but I'm sure would do great ripping it in the powder as well. Another highly recommended product from GoLite.

This has been my go to jacket. Layered with a fleece I've been staying warm. I've stayed dry through a good downpour that soaked out my friend's more expensive soft rain shell. The lengths are perfect. I've been wearing it to work (tough on clothes) and it isn't showing any signs of wear. My only complaint is there isn't quite enough room across the back for complete range of motion for my shoulders. I could go up a size and not have this problem, but then the jacket would be too big else where...not a major problem, minor annoyance at most.
