JeremyS's Review of Rab Xenon Jacket - Men's
This is a surprisingly light jacket with outstanding wing and water-resistant qualities. It's also quite warm, which may be a result of the proprietary Stratus insulation, or simply because the shell is so effective. Either way, it's a great jacket for wet, cool weather down to around 40F--more if you have a fleece underneath.
I didn't give it five stars for a couple reasons. First, the fit is baggy. Most Rab garments are on the slim-fitting side, but this sometimes feels like a trash bag with sleeves. Second, the elastic around the wrists is loose, and lets in cold air. I suppose if you plan on using under the cuff gloves, this might be perfect. Otherwise, it's a bit drafty.
