By dso3284489 Ranked #1292 - Men's Rain Jackets October 19, 2009

I ordered the Nano because I wanted a lighter weight option than my other hard shells. It's definitely much lighter and just as waterproof as my older parka.

I first used the Nano on a 4 day trip in the Northern Cascades -- Two days were on glaciers, two days were on trails. We hadn't planned on it, but the trip turned out to be an excellent test of all our gear. We got rain, freezing rain, snow and precious little sun. The Nano performed better than I expected. It stayed dry and breathable, even during a day of famous Cascade snow-that-melts-when-it-hits.

The hood fits nicely over a helmet. I didn't notice the jacket when hiking, practicing crevasse rescue or ice climbing. I just stayed dry and comfortable.
