Exposure 2 GORE-TEX Paclite Jacket - Men's

Great Jacket

Works as well as I expected. The fit is good. The only thing I would like to see change is to go back to the olde style inner liner.

Light, Waterproof with a relaxed fit

Seems like a good rain shell but the fit is too relaxed for my liking.

Can be better

An OK jacket. Its weight and wind proofing is what I like; however, as a rain jacket it failed badly. It water repellant gone in 1st couple months, plus it wet out very badly. I have it on in a less than 4 hr hike under light rain, not excessive activity but find out my mid-layer is soaking wet when I take the jacket off. I believe that mainly due to its lack of ventilation feature.

Awesome and comfortable jacket!!

First impression PacLite

Slightly shorter in length than the piece it replaced, Lack of ventilation in armpits was disappointing, slightly smaller arm diameter also a Negative

Decent, but could be improved.

The jacket is good, but for the money it could stand improvements, most notably in the zippers. They are not waterproof, and they have a tendency to snag the fabric that covers the zipper placket. Sounds nitpicky, but after enough uses it gets frustrating. I probably would've returned it, but I needed it for a trip so decided to just put up with it. Pros: Very packable Gore-Tex Paclite means it's pretty durable Cons: Zippers not waterproof Fabric tends to snag in zippers when fastening Hood sometimes feels too small, especially when wearing my backpack or ruck

Jacket is awesome! Color is great, the fit is just a tad big in arms,but not a deal breaker… perfect if layering! Feels great in a tee shirt also. The hood seems great too,but really haven’t used it yet!

Comfortable and Suitable Rain Proof Jacket

I love the material, the color of the jacket, and of course the company!

Not exactly what I was hoping for.

Material and weight is what I wanted, but the pockets need to be in an easier to reach spot for active people (ie. closer to my chest). I was hoping for a suitable replacement for my Arc’teryx alpine hard shell Gore-Tex jacket. As it is, I will likely just use this around the house and try to squeeze another year out of my Arc Teryx alpine jacket before replacing it with another.
