I bought the new orange version of this jacket in XL. It was perfect. Super stylish, fantastic fit, lovely colour - it was everything I wanted in a rain jacket... until I wore it in the rain. That's what led me to give this jacket a two-star review. I wore it for the first time to work on a rainy day, and walked from one building to another across the street for a total distance of 20 meters. There were large splotches of moisture on certain parts of the jacket, so I opened it up to check to see if any got through, and it did. I'm confident that it wasn't condensation, because of the duration and temperature outside, so it was clearly water soaking through. I immediately brought it back and returned without issue, which was appreciated. I'm really disappointed because I absolutely loved the style of the jacket. If they could make it waterproof like they say it was, I'd immediately buy it again. I love Fjallraven, and have bought a number of their products in the past. This was the first time I was let down, so I'm hoping they correct this production/design error.
