Good jacket, just bulky

The Rain Shadow is a great, durable product from probably my favorite brand Patagonia. This was my first true rain coat and before I really knew what else was out there it was fine. After more research and testing this jacket is to bulky and full cut. The extra material just provided more space to get hot and muggy in warm temps. It also doesnt breathe as well as some others out there in the same price range (Marmot Aegis for one). I love Patagonia and they always make great stuff this just wasnt what I was looking for.
