I purchased this because I needed something heavier than a shell but lighter than a cold weather parka. It would be my in-between go-to jacket.
So, I've wearing this for several weeks when I walk the dog—and temperatures are in the low 40s and high 30s. Normally, I would zip up the front zipper, but discovered that it made the throat protection area a little high for me. If, however, I was in a driving rainstorm or cold wind, the zipper would be all the way up!
Each time I put it on, it doesn't feel like it fits. Something in the shoulders, it seems. So I zip it 3/4 of the way up and it molds to my shape! This is a jacket that does not hang well on me, and it tends to flop way open if I don't zip it.
I like the insulated hood, although I haven't figured out how to tighten it when facing the wind. The slash pockets are deep and fleece lined with zippers. There is one inside pocket that could hold a small iPad or Kindle but I haven't used it yet.
This jacket has pit zips. There are many times I return from a brisk walk with the dog and wished I could have opened them while I walked. No possible way. I tried moving the zippers while the jacket was flat on my table and it was very difficult. I don't see how they can be useful if you are unable to open them while moving around. (This removed one star from my rating.)
In sum, I'm glad I have it. If it rains or gets really windy, this jacket will keep me warm and dry.

Was looking for an insulated rain jacket to wear when I don't want to layer. Insulated Torrentshell is perfect for rainy days down to high 30's. I am 6'-3", 170 lbs. and the large fits perfect. Sleeve length, light weight, and hood are great.

I'm pretty happy with it, just the right amount of insulation, I like the black version more than the others of this year since it does't have those neon zippers. I would recommend. I'm about 6'1" and 170lbs and the large fits well, xl would probably be too big for reference.

I've had numerous rain jackets through the years and I will have to say that this is the best one hands down. I was looking for a jacket a could wear by itself in cold wet conditions or over multiple base layers when it is frigid out. Look no further...this is it.
You can tell Patagonia is a very well made product, especially their attention to detail (zippers, draw strings and hood). Campsaver's customer service was very easy to work with and their pricing was great as well.

This jacket is typical Patagonia excellence in design and construction. Everything is high quality and it is comfortable to wear. I will wear it in early Spring and early Autumn for a little extra warmth. It is not warm enough to wear in cold to very cold weather without base layers.

Super light, yet warm - especially when active. Can wear a soft shell underneath if going to watch a game, etc.

This is the first Patagonia I have owned. It is tough to order having not tried the jacket on, so I was a bit surprised at how form fitting the jacket is. It is a very nice looking jacket and am very pleased with the looks and quality of the construction. I am 5'8" and about 160lbs. My only complaint is that it is a bit tight through the chest and shoulders. The arms and waist are perfect. Because it is more form fitting it does not leave room for much in the chest pocket. My iPhone is really noticeable when inside the jacket. Campsaver was great to work with. I contacted them after receiving the jacket and was thinking about exchanging it for a large. I was told that I had 60 days to return the jacket and that maybe I should give it a chance. I'm glad I did. Very pleased with the purchase and Campsaver. I will be shopping with them again.
