Wear it over a sweatshirt! In the rain! In the wind! Lightweight, durable, and the perfect size. Definitely serving as the perfect in-between fall and winter jacket for me to layer with. I wear it most often when walking around campus on my way to classes and whatnot.

Recommended by an EMS salesman for cycling. The first two times I wore it in light to mod rain I got wet. It was in the 70's so I thought it might just not be breathable. Then I wore it in the 50's and was soaked. At [$] for the suit, I'm not feeling good about EMS.

The perfect rain jacket for spring and beyond, this is lightweight and breathable while keeping me dry. I love the sophisticated color choices--I chose Nomad--and would definitely order one or two alternatives. The length is ideal for my needs, and the pouch and other convenient features help me carry my extras with ease. My only criticism is that the the hood is advertised as roll-down but doesn't really do that.
