Patagonia Rain Shadow Jacket - Women's

Have the trails all to yourself in foul weather when you’re wearing the Patagonia Women’s Rain Shadow Jacket. Thanks to a fully waterproof breathable H2No barrier, staying dry doesn’t have to mean staying inside. A two-way adjustable hood rolls away when you don’t need it, and underarm vent zippers dump heat after a strenuous hike. Patagonia also gave the inside of the jacket a raised lining to channel moisture and aid in layering.

Bottom Line: Enjoy any kind of day outdoors with the Rain Shadow.

Nikita, the Rain Shadow Jacket is lightweight and packable, but does not have a pocket that it stashes into at this time.

Finally!!

By:
September 13, 2009

This is the 5th rain jacket I've bought, and the only one I'm finally fully satisfied with. I'm finally happy. I am 5'2" and 115 pounds, muscular, solid build.

I started out with the Columbia Kona (size small), which I would have kept had the pockets had zippers.

Next I tried the North Face Venture in XS. It was shorter than I'd like, and also had a sort of exaggerated hourglass shape cut to it, which doesn't work for me.

Then I got the Marmot PreCip in XS. I was very pleased with the fit, but the hood was very... shallow? It didn't hang over my head at all; rather, it ended right at my hairline, which is no good in a rain jacket.

Then I tried the Merrell Venus (size small). I found the fit to be a little bit tighter than the XS Marmot. I would have kept this one, but the inside had a sort of sticky rubbery feel to it, as well as a funky smell. It felt more like a plastic coating and would have been uncomfortable to wear.

Finally, I ordered the Patagonia Rain Shadow in XS (and got a deal on it from another site for $100). It is long enough, fits me well, has zippered pockets, and the hood actually covers all of my head. It's perfect! I won't wear bulky layers underneath it; if it's that cold it's likely to be snowing, in which case I'll wear my winter jacket.

Is this the newest version of (2009) the Rain Shadow jacket?

Is this the newest version of (2009) the Rain Shadow jacket? The colors and pockets look slightly different than those on the Patagonia website.

The Rain Shadows above that are at $150 are the newest version from the fall line, and the others that are on sale are older, from the Spring 09 line.

Nice jacket, but poor fit for me...

By:
October 27, 2009

This is a really well made jacket--typical of Patagonia quality. I really wanted it to work, but the sizing was just off for me. I ordered a small, which is my normal size, but this jacket swallowed me. I am 5'4" and 105 lbs. Even with layers underneath it was big. When zipped up, it covered my face all the way to my nose. I sent it back and decided to try the XS. Well unfortunately it was a bit small. If the sizing works for you, it would be a nice jacket. If not, I would recommend the Arcteryx Beta SL and the Mountain Hardwear Epic.

Quality jacket inside and out. Jacket is solid white, I would even call it kind of an off white.

Oversized

By:
October 23, 2009

I'm 5'1" 100lbs, chest 32, hips 35. The jacket in XS was MUCH too big overall even with a long sleeve shirt and an Arcteryx fleece underneath. The jacket was very well constructed though and the plum color is gorgeous.

How does this product compare to the Marmot Oracle Jacket? What

How does this product compare to the Marmot Oracle Jacket? What are the differences? I'm assuming the higher the waterproof rathing & breathable rating, the "better"....but I don't see a rating for this jacket to compare....

The Rain Shadow is a great jacket, and should provide more waterproofing, and breathability than the Oracle. Patagonia jackets feature an H2No waterproof/breathable membrane that tests out at a minimum of ~33k. All Patagonia shells with H2No meet the military standard of 45 PSI (a slightly different rating than th traditional "mm" rating) Patagonia just says that they are waterproof and breathable, period. It's backed up with the unconditional Iron Clad guarantee so you can't go wrong.

This jacket is AWESOME! Fits and looks great over t-shirts or hoodies and keeps me dry no matter what. I highly recommend it!

Is H2No as good as Gore-Tex? Does it hold up as well?

absolutely. It breathes and protects against wind and water just as well, if not better than Gore. Patagonia fully guarantees the performance of H2No, and the entire jacket forever. Can't beat that.
