This jacket does the trick to combat wind, water and moderate temps. The jacket was a little thinner and lighter than I expected and not really for cold weather conditions (I would suggest wearing it in temps no lower than 32 degrees Fahrenheit), but so far has worked well to keep me completely dry and comfortable in moderate rain and heavy winds. I normally wear a medium in most clothing, but Marmot tends to run on the larger side -- the small fits me perfectly (I'm 5'8" and 140 pounds). Features I like include the rollout hood which secures comfortably around your head, and the armpit vents. There's not much pocket space, however I typically carry a backpack so it is not a big issue for me.
