Great lightweight rain jacket

I really like this jacket. It is light weight, and there is no lining, but I like that for summer hiking, and it can easily be layered over a fleece. The pit zips are convenient and the jacket can stuff into its own pocket which is fantastic! Backcountry was great when I couldn't decided what size to get. I used the live chat option, and they recommended I buy 2 jackets in 2 different sizes and send back the one that didn't work...with no charge for shipping! So far, has been waterproof during by treks across campus...have yet to try it camping though. I am sure I won't be disappointed. I am 5'5" and about 110 lbs and I ended up going with the x-small. Everyone other northface I own (which is an embarrassingly large amount) is a small, so it does run large. I still have room to layer, and the sleeves were still long enough for my long arms. I like that it isn't shiny like so many raincoats as well.
