I just got back from a 6 day kayaking trip in the Broken Islands on Vancouver Island. I took this jacket with me as my rain protection. On the last day we had thunder, wind, and torential down pour. All while paddling a kayak in windy waters.
The jacket kept me dry and protected for the 2hr paddle that day, mostly in HEAVY rain.
Very pleased! With the jacket. Looks good, and performs better!
One note to buyers is to seriously think about getting a size larger than you would think. The jacket is slim, I normally fit medium-large jackets (6"0' 190lbs atheletic build). I took my measurments and ordered the medium but when I got it the waist was Waaaaaaay too tight and my chest and back where too big for it. When they say slim cut they must mean its cut for a skinny guy and not a guy with muscle on his frame. Sent it back and got the large instead.

Agreed. 6' 0" 180lbs (athletic/trim) here, and the M was too small. Which surprised me, as the Medium Shift Softshell fits me perfectly.
