M's Torrentshell 3L Jacket

I bought this jacket for a Roan Mountain TN/Balds, NC hike, where it proved its worth more than amply, keeping me dry under a barrage of storms ripping through the Blue Ridge that week. It continues to serve today, protecting me from tropical storms in S. Florida. We also purchased one for my fiance and she loves it and looks great in it and we finally have our first rain gear together, some 11 years into our engagement.

Bought Torrentshell to use both as an outer shell in winter and for travel during rainy seasons. Not too heavy and light enough to wear for a whole day hike. It doesn't keep you warm as a standalone and you need to pair it with fleece. Is also good as a windbreaker. Has pits to keep you from too warm on summer days. Get this to keep you dry and layer it with fleece to keep you warm in winter.

Definitely try on 2 sizes, and make sure to have on what you will usually be wearing under the item. I landed with L rain jacket and M rain pants.

The Torrentshell 3L rain jacket is as advertised. It keeps the rain out in the heaviest storms while providing enough ventilation to prevent that "sweating inside your jacket" feeling you get from some other rain jackets. The size large is a bit big in the shoulders for me (I'm 5'11", 185 lbs), but I have long arms so it was the right choice.

Its light, comfortable, and keeps me perfectly dry. The inside zipper is great for a liner, the sleeves close tight, and it has great large pockets. It fold up small and has been well used in a short period of time.
