The Sierra Designs Women's Isotope Jacket lightens your load in the backcountry with a windproof, water-resistant outerlayer that practically disappears when not in use. Sierra Designs Nanolite nylon ripstop fabric is coated with a microporous membrane that allows the Isotope Jacket to breathe while keeping you dry. The fully taped seams, zippered hand pockets, drawstring hem and adjustable hood seem like standard features, especially for Sierra Designs, but you might not expect them on a jacket that weighs a scant 4.8 ounces (size Medium) and stuffs into its own pocket.
Bottom Line: The Isotope Jacket puts featherweight, waterproof protection in the palm of your hand.

At first this was a hard sell, but after being complimented a number of times on how nice her jacket was she has realized how great the product is. It's a shame this jacket is discontinued. If you can find one in your size grab it! Used this jacket in New Zealand in lots of rain and temps from 74 - 34 deg and it kept her dry and comfortable. So light it's amazing! I am a bit concerned about how durable the material is but after 3 weeks of daily use and 7 days on the trail it has held up very well.
does it fit true to size? i'd wear a medium, and usually
does it fit true to size? i'd wear a medium, and usually wear layers underneath... is there enough room for a few thin layers?

I think it's about true to size to maybe a touch on the big side. I'm 5'6" and 130lbs and I have a size small. It's just a little snug when I have two thin layers (a t-shirt or tank top and thin fleece) on under it. I probably would have more room in a medium without it being huge, but this was, for me, strictly a summer garment so I stuck with the small. Hope that helps.

Definitely not hardcore weather gear, but I live in the Mississippi Delta where rainstorms pop up suddenly and I need to keep a rain jacket handy. This easily fits into a tote bag or daypack, or can be tossed into the backseat on a road trip. WaterPROOF which is a must when it rains so hard I can't see across the street. Breathable in my 100 degree heat -- my only wish would be pit zips.
Fills the need well.

Great jacket. I used to hem and haw about whether or not to bring my rain coat on day hikes because it was heavy and bulky. Not anymore. This rain coat is so thin and light that there's no reason not to bring it and it is absolutely positively waterproof. The only thing is that it can sometimes be a little stuffy, as it appears to me to be akin to wearing a really durable plastic bag.
Change me.
