Full Failure As Rain Coat.

I bought this for my husband for canoeing trips. It is only a wind breaker. It does not stop rain and despite treatments with rain coat waterproofing washes and sprays , it absorbs rain right through within minutes of a light rainfall. This is not a rain coat at all. The fit and cut are comfortable and easy to move in. Would be great if it actually repelled rain in any way. In addition, Fjallraven has not responded after weeks of asking for some accountability.

Not Waterproof

Because Fjallraven advertises this jacket as being waterproof, I bought one last year under the impression that it would keep the rain out - it does not. Each and every time I am cought in a prolonged rain, within 20-30 minutes the moisture works it's way through the fabric and I end up wet. For what this jacket cost me, I am very disappointed.

Men’s Coastal Raincoat

Keep you dry, but I was surprised there’s no inside pocket. Needs one to be sure.

Zipper Broke Again!

The zipper broke on my High Coast Hydratic Trail Jacket. I’ve owned the coat for less than a year and the single most important functional part of a rain jacket broke, rendering the coast mostly unusable. This isn’t the first Fjall Raven zipper that has broken either. Very poor quality.

The 'Hydratic' Text Was Peeling Off In Two Months

I bought this jacket two months ago, and I really like it. However, I've only worn it a few times and haven't even washed it yet. The 'HYDRATIC' text at the end of the left sleeve is already peeling off. Is it coming off too quickly? If I had used it for six months or a year, I wouldn't mind.

You'll Be Wet

I can confirm that you'll become wet in this jacket very quickly. I can't say whether it's because the jacket not being waterproof or because of an internal moisture. I expected much more from the brand

Does "Hydratic" Mean "Waters Flows Through Freely"

Soaks through after 20 mins in moderate rain.

Not Waterproof. .

After 30 minutes in rain this jacket is 50% saturated. On the plus side.. it looks good and fits nicely. Conversely, the matching pants do seem to be living up to the waterproof claim.

Not Waterproof

Not waterproof per other reviews! Very expensive jacket that does not protect in a 30 minute shower. Sizing is fine.

Light Rain Jacket.

The jacket is good for light rain and it should keep you clean of the water FOR some hours. However, water seem to get into the fabric making it wet overtime so I recommend having another jacket or clothes under it. or just buy a Gortex jacket.

Great Jacket

I wear this around my college campus over a sweatshirt. It keeps the wind and water out. It is comfortable and looks nice. It actually keeps me pretty warm on a milder winter day.

Nice And Dry

I don’t wear this as a shell jacket I wear this as a warm weather rain jacket and its perfect for that. Im 6’ 250lbs and muscular build and I prefer XL with a tshirt underneath

Used Throughout Maines Wettest Summer

This is a great example of function meets fashion. Has worked incredibly over the last year. Been through the whites and Acadia and have stayed dry.

Exactly What I Thought The Jacket Would Be

I've been watching a number of reviews prior to purchasing this rain jacket, and finally pulled the trigger when I had an opportunity to try it on in store. The mustard colour is great in person, but what I'm really impressed with is the build quality. All of the reviews talk highly of how well constructed this jacket is, and I can't disagree. What I wasn't expecting was how the slight stretch in the jacket would clearly separate it from other similar rain jackets from other brands. It makes it a very comfortable rain jacket. My only knock? Sizing is really confusing and I'm glad I was able to try it on in store. Based on the size guide, I would have purchased an XXL online. I have a 46" chest (6'4" and around 225 lbs). My Abisko trail fleeces are XXL. My Abisko Midsummer jacket is an XL. I bought a L. This isn't without precedent: I have a Greenland jacket in a L, and it fits fine. You might say "you'll never be able to layer with it!" Well... I went looking for a thick fleece in store and had it under the jacket and it fit fine. So yeah - this jacket fits large. I think I would have been fine with an XL, but I like the slightly slimmer fit of the L.

Above And Beyond

Amazing product. I bike and hike in the northeast and this jacket has held up in some pretty bad weather.
