I got this jacket as a birthday gift from my mom. I used it on my last trip to the Black Forest of Pa. It rained 2 out of the 4 1/2 days we hiked. This is my first breathable rain jacket, and it really works! And it work better then I thought. I have had waterproof jackets and just put up with the sweet, but never again. It is also super light and packs down to almost nothing. Well worth the money. Or if you have a great Mom like me, makes a great gift! Thanks Mom!

Got this jacket three weeks ago to keep in my bag whenever im outside just in case a storm shows up. Packs super small, weighs almost nothing, and fits into included carrying bag with a little folding. Completely waterproof when ive used it biking in light rain and still breathes well. Athletic fit and sleeves plenty long enough to cover wrists where gloves meet and then some. All in all a superb jacket that i dont leave the house without.

I bought the Atomic Jacket just before a two week summer holiday to the west coast of Scotland as I intended to spend as much time as possible in the mountains. The summer in Scotland isn’t what I called reliable so a good waterproof jacket is essential but I didn’t want to carry excess weight or bulk. This seemed to fit the bill. It is surprising how light the jacket it considering the features: Big hood with a stiffened peak, 2 huge hand pockets, great arm lift, and a double storm flap normally found on much heavier jackets designed for winter use. To be honest the jacket only really got tested on one day but at nearly 1000m above sea level descending the rocky crest off Sgurr Mhor, brilliantly named Na Rathanan (the Horns of Alligin). We could see the thick band of rain heading our way off the sea. My girlfriend had her much more expensive Gore-Tex Pro Shell jacket and pants on before it hit and I donned my latest purchase along with my waterproof pants. The rain was incredibly heavy and the wind that brought it our way made climbing down rocky ground difficult. I was half expecting to get wet as the Atomic is more than half the price of my 3-layer shell but I was presently surprised and we battled for 3hrs back to the car. It is always nice to finally get to use something in anger and for it to exceed your expectations. I have since seen plenty of people on a 2-day mountain-marathon using these, probably due to their low weight and high performance. The overnight camp seemed to be a Montane convention.
