OTU Men's Lightweight Waterproof Hooded Rain Jacket Outdoor Raincoat Shell Jacket for Hiking Travel

I first purchased this good looking, well fitting and functional rain jacket several years ago, but then recently I left it behind at an airport. No going back to get it so I purchased the exact same jacket as a replacement. It served me well while I explored London for 17 days with several of those days being rainy and chilly. If you take off the hood it can almost pass for a sport coat. I especially appreciated the three zippered pockets, two on the outside and one on the inside. i could confidently put keys, phone, etc. into those pockets and not worry about the items falling out. It is lightweight, but durable, but it is not a jacket for warmth. You will need to layer underneath for that.

I should describe some concerns first. The hook and loop (basically Velcro) along the front zipper is so strong that I think it may rip the loop side off the weakly sewn patches. The pockets are weak. You cannot carry much weight in them. The exterior appears to be and has a quad pattern, but nowhere was it mentioned that the exterior is rip-stop it is manufactured. So is it? Who knows. I can attest it’s very water resistant. Look at is this way. The price point is low. The quality is equivalent. It’s not Northface or REI, but do you really always need to pay their premium prices for a jacket to run or walk in the rain? You don’t! This works.

This is nice and warm jacket and kept me dry during the rain. The fit was perfect for me as described in the sizing chart. Enough room to wear a heavy flannel shirt underneath and still be flexible.The only issue I had was with the zippers. They should be more heavy duty. The first jacket I got, the zipper failed after a few days but the replacement was quick and the new jacket has held up so far. For being an "active" ski jacket, i would assume the zipper would be able to handle more stress. I'm not a skier but the zipper just stopped zipping up. The pocket zippers are also 'weak' but i usually don't use them so it's not too much of an issue but if i want to zip them up, i need two hands (one to hold the zipper tight and another to pull the zipper). Only one hand is needed to unzip the pockets.

Excellent Jacket! I like the detachable hood and the hook and loop fasteners over the zipper flap. The zipper is strong and the inside pocket is roomy enough for a mobile phone. Greatly appreciate the zippers on the pockets. I also love this color. This jacket should last me for years to come.

Great fit, true to size! Outstanding quality with nice features! Can’t wait til it rains so I can wear it! Maybe tonight????

Purchased this for an Alaska cruise. I needed a lighter weight rain proof jacket that could be removed as the day warmed up. I appreciate the zippered hood that can be removed when not needed. The zippered packets are adequate for holding my passport and other ID's. The outside pockets are large enough to hold my gloves so I don't have to wear them all the time. Another feature is that I can roll the jacket up and put it in a backpack when I don't need it on. The length covers my fanny which is nice. Sleeves are a little long but have a Velcro attachment so they can be closed to prevent rain and wind from the entering the sleeve and keep the sleeve at the proper length for me. The jacket will fit nicely over a sweater or other shirt for layering for warmth.I always check any cloths I purchase online for seams, zippers, etc. This jacket is well made with no loose threads to pull seams apart. I expect to wear this jacket for several years. Highly recommend.

Great jacket I buy this for my son, for his trip to Europe excellent quality

The material itself was water proof; however, there are spots where water will get in. First, the seam that goes horizontally across your back allows water in. The seam on the chest and shoulder as well. In a light rain, this would be okay. The other problem is the placement of the zipper for the hood. There is no flap over it, so water that runs down the hood or lands on the zipper itself comes right in. A good amount of water got in that way.Over all, I would say this is an OK jacket.
