Great Lightweight Rain Jacket
The jacket is perfect for Spring-Summer-Fall. Lightweight and packable. The OR jacket is waterproof and made very well.

Great lightweight jacket
The Outdoor Research Revel Jacket is the type of weatherproof jacket I have been searching for. It is waterproof and breathable. I use for hiking in Adirondacks, it is such comfortable fit I have been wearing as casual jacket.

Feels good
I am always trying to find the optimal intersection of price and comfort. Cheaper rain gear I have had in the past always became clammy to the point of unwearable. I decided to advance my price point a little higher for this jacket, hoping I might actually enjoy wearing it. Fortunately, the material is pliable and closer to cloth than plastic. It has lots of zips to add additional breathability. I have only worn it about town in some good downpours and it has proved viable. Durability report will be pending a trip up to Colorado this summer. However, overall construction feels sturdy. I certainly can't comment on a $500+ rain shell, but this jacket seems to be about as good as I would want... so far.

Great Product. Nice Price.
With the Revel, Outdoor Research delivers a high quality waterproof/breathable jacket at a moderate price. I'm 5'10" 155 lbs., if you like more of a form fit, the 'S' works quite nicely while having some room for warm base layers underneath. The fabric feel (and sound) is soft - unlike most other jackets in it's category. Highly recommended.

Practical rainwear
This jacket is the best casual/hiking rain jacket I have found. The best part of it is that the hood folds away and cannot be seen until needed. It also has pit zips to let in the air if it is humid and hot. Not the biggest fan of the new colors this year (I preferred the solid colors) but the black worked well for me. If you are looking for a no nonsense rain jacket that keeps the water away but does not break the bank, this is the jacket for you. Sizing is a bit big, but this allows you to layer warm clothes underneath.
