baleaf Men's Rain Jacket Waterproof Windbreaker Raincoat Running Cycling Hiking Gear Hood Lightweight Reflective Packable

This is a really good cycling jacket, especially for the price. I commute daily 20 miles year-round in Chicago. This jacket is true to size, fits well (not too tight or bulky), well made and looks good, has excellent windbreaking and very good waterproofing. I use it as my standard outer layer in spring and fall for windbreaking and rain (it's a single layer inside, no netting, but breathes well), and have come to use it in very cold weather as my outer shell, as it fits well over a standard biking coat. Pocket well placed and right size, zippers work well, hood well designed, has held up well to wear and tear so far. Very pleased with this purchase.

This is a very good, lightweight rain jacket in appearance, but haven't yet used it, so can't attest to its waterproof quality. Small fits me pretty well, considering I'm only 5' 1.5", 120 pounds. It has a textured, clothlike feel on the outside, with a PVC/plastic lining, to repel water, of course. All the zippers work well, with 3 zip pockets on the outside front, and 1 large on the back, which also acts as a storage compartment for easy packing and transport. Additionally, It has 2 large inner pockets, and 1 small one. The hood is huge, as it's designed to accommodate bike helmets and/or maybe other head gear, so that's very understandable. It does, however, have a drawstring in the back to shrink it, which works well, even for my rather small head. Additionally, you can roll the hood into a collar, when you're not using it, with the attached velcro closures included. I bought this for a trip to Israel in the Spring. There's probably not a lot of rain there, but don't want to get caught outside on a tour without protection. I find this jacket as perfect as they come in a lightweight, the manufacturer seems to have thought of just about everything, in terms of quality, design and features...now if it only keeps out the rain, as it claims, is my only remaining question.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Hasn't rained to test it but I like it so far. Makes a great windbreaker jacket. Enough venting so I don't get sweaty. When I first opened the package and put the jacket on, there was a lot crinkling noise which I did not like, but oddly, it has become quieter with use. Also, the hood is slightly on the large size, but it's fine. It's very light and I like the color and fit. It's more of a shorter jacket length than a longer 3/4. True to size. I got the med. Average build. 5'7". 168# Size: Med Value for money: good Lining: none Lightweight: yes

Great jacket. I use this for running/biking. Fits well and I like the hood that is oversized as it really keeps the rain out of my face.

I have paid hundreds of dollars for high tech, name brand raincoats for back packing, canoeing, wilderness camping. They are comfortable, they pack down, they keep me dry. And they last about as long as the less expensive ones. I have bought cheap raincoats. They are hot, uncomfortable, do not pack down well, and the zippers fail. This coat is comfortable, light weight, and is very inexpensive. I could afford to replace may raincoat every year, and still be ahead in dollars; I expect this coat to easily last 2-3 seasons, so I am way ahead.

I love this jacket for commuter style bicycling. It really cuts the wind and keeps out the rain. I bought it oversized to cover bulky warm clothes. It is a very good high visibility jacket and folds up into a nice small bundle.

This jacket has really held up well: zippers, materials, elastics, adjusting cords and cord toggles all work just as good as new, and the color hasn't faded (as far as I can tell). I use this jacket as an outer shell for commuter cycling, hiking, and running in rain, cold weather, and windy conditions. Because it's packable, I take it on vacations--it's usually in my carry-on backpack/daypack when I travel. As a commuter cyclist living in a college town, I appreciate the high-visibility color and reflective trim when I'm on the road. After three years, I've got no complaints and no regrets. This is a great jacket! I like it so much that I bought a fluorescent yellow one I keep in my car for roadside emergencies, and a black one I can more easily match to my clothes when I don't want to stand out in bright orange.

Looks and fits great.
