I took this coat on hikes, sledding with kids in snowstorms, and rainy walks with the dog. The jacket seems to absorb a little water but I've always been dry underneath. A great alternative to gore-tex without the environmental implications. My only qualm is the lack of side-pockets which I knew about before but is still a nuisance. Overall, very pleased with my purchase.

Great Jacket So Far
I did a fair amount of research before I decided to make this purchase and happy I did. It is true that this is not completely waterproof but it has held up great in rain, sleet, snow ect. I haven't had it soak through yet. Overall, solid 4 stars

Awful Rain Coat
I’ve had this jacket for three years now. It’s a great lightweight jacket, but it’s the worst rain coat I’ve ever owned. I dread having to rely on it. It soaks through almost immediately and always has. I’ve reproofed it several times, tech wash, wash in stuff, spray on stuff, multiple brands including Fjallraven’s own reproofing spray, followed the directions meticulously - makes no difference. It only has two pockets and they leak, too. I’ve literally pulled my phone out of standing water in the chest pockets after less than 20 minutes in the rain. It’s very comfortable, I like the lengthy fit, has a big hood, nice and stretchy, but not water resistant in the least, so essentially worthless as a shell. Given the cost, there’s no excuse for unreliable performance.

Great Quality
Love the jacket, has held up great in long continuous rain. Only knock is that there are no real pockets for hands to keep warm. Will always need gloves with this jacket, otherwise would have given 5 stars.
