This lightweight, waterproof and breathable design features complete seam-taping for reliable weatherproof comfort on the trail or around town. Despite the minimalist profile, the Zealot Jacket™ has an attached hood with extras like a hood adjustment and a zippered diagonal chest pocket. This is one of those "just-in-case" garments you can take with you anywhere without enduring the burden of lugging around extra ballast.

awesome jacket I carry it around with me everywhere I go. In Canada with the unpredictable weather during fall and spring it comes in handy for both rain and wind. It seems flimsy when you hold it in your hands, but when you put it on, it looks and feels like a storm shell. it is made to fit over whatever you are wearing. Sometimes when it gets really harsh out I throw it over my chaos jacket with ease. The hoody is fitting and great, and its minimalist design makes it a no nonsense garment, which is a nice change!

A very light rain jacket that works I was looking for a lightweight rain jacket to replace the Marmot Precip I used on my 2003 Appalachian Trail Thru Hike when I found this jacket in your add. I'll be doing a 500 mile hike on the A.T. this year and this jacket will fill the bill nicely. It's very light weight, around 8 oz. and does an excellent job of repeling rain. The hood is deep and covers my head and gives me a wider angle of vision than i'm used to having. It lacks pit zips that were on the Precip, but after about 2200 miles of hiking with the Precip I can tell you it makes little difference, your going to sweat anyway inside your jacket if your lugging a loaded backpack up a mountain. In long distance hiking this rain jacket will be very functionable in wet and windy conditions and shave that extra weight off our shoulders that many of us backpackers are looking for.

Is this Handy? - Yes - No ( 1 of 2 found this review helpful.)

Excellent Excellent jacket. Packable into the zippered chest pocket and weighs next to nothing--small enough that you'll never hesitate to take it with you.
