I got the daffodil colored rain shadow on a sac deal and wasn't so sure about the color but when I got it that was all unnecessary. It's a pale yellow and I really like it. The jacket fits true to size; I am 5'6 and got a Medium. For a rain Jacket, I find the fit pretty flattering...with still enough room for layering. The inner mesh pocket is a good feature to have, especially when traveling. I took this jacket on a backpacking trip to south africa and it worked out great. We had a bunch of rainy days at the cape and it kept me dry. The pit zips prevented overheating (they could have a mesh liner but I guess that would make the jacket heavier...). This way it is pretty light and bunches up well in a pack. The taped zippers feel very solid and keep the water out. Really happy with this purchase.
