So light and nice, great fit, can't wait for a properly rainy day!
Just a runner
I have run in this jacket during several light to moderate rains with temps in the 40-60 range. It repels rain very well. It simply does not breathe and I'm soaked from sweat. Sweat pools in the sleeves. At the price and being NF, I expected the claim of breathability to be moderately accurate but for me, it's not.

Love the coat. I run in NY and it rains more than it snows... keeps me totally dry.

I bought this not realizing it was specifically for runners. no pockets . although it is extremely light and comfortable , I had to return it as I was looking for something a little different. that being said if you're a runner looking for a lightweight packable jacket to wear or bring on runs just in case this is the Perfect Jacket for you!

Im pretty sure TNF sent me a used jacket. Normally I wouldn't mind, however it was missing at the zipper pull and had red markings on inside of jacket. I reached out to customer service as I have never had this issue on anything else I have ordered from TNF and have been ignored. Very frustrating given cost of jacket, have to say this is the first time I have had to reach out to TNF and am quite disheartened at their lack of customer service and response. The jacket also runs small and fits a little awkward, however, im in need of a good running jacket that will hold up and the material seems good.

I bought this rain jacket for traveling. I used it on a recent trip. It is very light weight as expected . I like the bright color too.

My only gripe with this jacket is the lack of side pockets. I know that you don't want to put things in side pockets when you are running but you do when you are not running. I'd like this to be the only wind breaker jacket I have to take with me when I travel but the lack of pockets make it frustrating to wear when not running.

I used the product to double layer with a vest when I felt cold at indoor activities. I jogged with it for physical exercise to not feel cold wind temperature; the jacket worked well against rain.

Best lightweight rain shell I've ever used. The fabric really light, breathable, waterproof, and feels solid (I'm not going to rub it on granite, but it does feel durable). Unlike other rain coats, this one has a nice, low collar that doesn't cut into your neck as much when you're wearing it sans hood.

Use for rainy day on the trails. Best rain jacket I have ever owned

Very similar to the first style of this jacket, perhaps a slimmer cut, but still a great jacket in a great color. I e been looking for a brighter color to run in at night.
Tony
Used this jacket for running. Very lightweight and works great as a windbreaker and in cold temperatures

I have gone back and forth on this jacket since it was released. I have seen it in TNF stores and tried it on multiple times but never pulled the trigger because of the cost. I ran and raced in the North Face Vectiv Enduris this year and was so impressed by the quality of the shoes. I was heading into another long Minnesota winter and decided to try out the Futurelight Jacket. I'm so glad that I did. I also compared it to a thermal jacket by Janji, but ultimately am sticking with TNF Futurelight Jacket. It has worked incredibly well with maintaining warmth and releasing moisture from inside. I wear a Merino wool layer(s) under the jacket based on temperature and wind chill. I have done long runs (3+ hours) and short high intensity runs in the jacket and have zero moisture build up on the inside of the jacket. It handles snow and wind like a champ as I ran in -7 degree wind-chill today. It does pack into itself, but it doesn't have actual pockets-my only complaint. I get it though, a jacket like this is easier to make without them. Lastly the green is highly visible, which I love while running in town.

I have a hard time finding a lightweight jacket that is breathable yet wind/water proof. I reached out to Dylan Bowman who (without hesitation) recommended this jacket. While I haven't yet had the opportunity to wear it in a downpour, it has quickly become my default when running in cold & windy conditions. The only issue I have is that the zipper catches when trying to fully zip, and I wish it had pockets. Otherwise, it is an amazing product for the trails!

This is a really nice jacket unfortunately I am long-waisted and the jacket is way too short. If you buy tall clothing I would try it on before you buy it.
