Great cheap rain shell

Incredibly lightweight, quick-drying and covers everything. It's not gore-tex, so if you're in a downpour you will notice some wetness eventually. But for an inexpensive rain shell, this one is hard to beat. Perfect for damp climates or rainy hikes. I'm 5'7" 140lbs and the small fits me well. The sleeves are a bit short, but it hasn't been a problem. I can layer a shirt and fleece underneath easily too. My only complaint is lack of breathability-- if I'm doing anything mildly aerobic (biking, walking quickly across campus) I arrive at my destination sweatier that expected... My jacket doesn't have underarm vents, maybe that's a new feature of this year's model, I think mine is from 2 years ago. Overall a great purchase.
