One note about the sizing (which they’re very clear about this on the website, but it bears repeating): the sizing is according to jacket size, and not person size. With this jacket, I’m able to distribute the things I need throughout the jacket pockets and access them with ease. The rain jacket I owned prior to this was minimal in the pocket department, which I found frustrating, especially on hikes – when I like to have my camera and a few items easily accessible without having to dig through my backpack each time I need them. But…with the sheer variety and accessibility of pockets, what you have is choice. In fact, there’s a few too many for my own liking, since I’m not a fan of overstuffed pockets (which aren’t very flattering in my opinion). The liner is easy to put in and take out, which comes in handy when hiking in the Peruvian Andes in temperatures that swing 20 degrees (Celsius) over the course of a day.īeyond the excellent overall quality of the jacket, one of the main draws of Global Travel Clothing items (which include a windbreaker and a sweatshirt) is that of pockets. It was sufficient to handle the last barrage of winter in Canada, followed by the wet and cold of Irish spring (the place and season, not the soap).

The jacket is also warmer than I thought it would be and even more so with the zip-in fleece liner. I didn’t feel wet at all, and once the rain stopped, the jacket dried quickly. The soft-shell has a high-quality lining that makes it silky comfortable and adds some warmth. I got the soft-shell with the optional zip-in fleece liner. I was immediately impressed with the quality and look of this jacket.
