Game-changer in rain jacket category - Mountain Hardwear Stretch Ozonic Jacket - Men's

(Reviewing 2017 model) The breathable stretch fabric is soft to the touch and unlike any of the usual "crinkly" rain jacket fabrics I've experienced. Much more pleasant and comfortable to wear while still effectively repelling wind and water. I had a chance to prove the jacket in a recent Oregon coast rainstorm exploring beach tide pools in a downpour for over and hour and stayed quite dry. Conditions were cold and gusty during the rain and I stayed surprisingly warm in only a t-shirt base layer thanks to the Ozonic wind and water protection. Very happy with the lightweight performance and style. Highly recommended!
