It looks nice

Ranked #1614 - Men's Rain Jackets
March 25, 2009
Patagonia's products always show an amazing attention to design, craftsmanship and detail, the Rain Shadow is no exception. However, the designer for this jacket should be flogged. This jacket does not breathe, at all. It is lightweight and it is waterproof but if you are engaging on any aerobic activity beyond standing still, you will be a wet clammy mess within the jacket in no time. The zipper interior storm flap is on the left side of the zipper which means the zipper gets caught every time you use it. Or, you fold the storm flap back with one hand and then you fold it back when you're done zipping up. I have a $50 rain jacket from Dick's sporting goods that works better than this coat.
