I have really enjoyed this ACG rain jacket. It really is fully water and wind proof without making my skin feel clammy like less breathable shells, and it packs easily into its own pocket so if there’s any chance of rain, I’m tossing it in my pack.
It does have a roomy fit which is great for layering but if you want a snugger fit and you’re between sizes, go smaller. I’m 190lbs and 5’10” and I went with the Large for maximum coverage.
It’s got a nice functional outdoorsy look, but it’s not over the top with just an ACG logo on the chest and a swoosh on the back, so it really can go with anything.
I like the amount of coverage it offers, especially the hood which seems extends forward further than my other jackets.
It’s beautifully made, with taped seams throughout and adjustable elastic on the hood and waist, plus two big zip pockets and another big internal drop pocket.
I’m also a big fan of the big chunky double zipper that won’t get bound up and can open in both directions for easy access and fit adjustment.
I really love this piece and look forward to taking it on lots of adventures, be it on the trails or in town.
