I'm a woman (5'7", 160lb. ) who chose the men's Torrentshell (XL) for it's slightly longer length compared to the women's version. I rolled the sleeves inward and felt very comfy in it. Read all the reviews, thought this would be the perfect jacket from a rain performance point of view. Wore it for the first time yesterday in a 40 minute medium-strength rain with a light and small daypack with thin straps. Temperature 45F, slow pace, no inclines, I was nowhere near sweating. At home I saw large patches had wetted out, where my backpack was sitting and in large circles around the arm pits. Inside the jacket was dry except for the pit zips - I had kept them closed the entire time, zippers pulls all the way up into the upper corners. This raised a few questions for me. ... MoreI'm a woman (5'7", 160lb. ) who chose the men's Torrentshell (XL) for it's slightly longer length compared to the women's version.

This raised a few questions for me. 1) If this happens with the pit zips closed in medium rain for 40 minutes at low activity, how much water gets in with the zips opened? Is this to be accepted? 2) Why are the pit zip shields open towards the *back*, not the front? Anyone walking tends to bends over slightly, not backwards, especially with a backpack or when going uphill, making it even easier for water to enter the pit zips. Same for the pocket zippers. What is the reason for this orientation? 3) Is wetting out normal on first wear in the described conditions? Am I expected to waterproof the jacket before first wear? 4) Why call it Torrentshell if it's not made for torrential downpours?

I’m a very active person I workout run and fish a lot using these jackets I now own two of these jackets. The yellow and blue one and an all green one from two seasons ago. Both of them are still in perfect mint shape they are super durable and packable for long hikes .When fish you can pack them up into themselvs and put in my fishing sling/pack bag. They always come clean when I slime them up with fish . I have dozens of photos of me holding beautiful fish in these jackets. I wash them after my trips and wear them to work the next day. They are very a fashionable good Looking coats. I’ve been complimented many times on both Color’s I have. I will definitely purchase another one although I don’t need another I just love them.

Patagonia nailed it with this best rain coat on the planet for under $200 Canadian. For those of you complainers saying these don’t work in the rain your full of it! I used them in rain,slush and snow all day . Even standing chest deep in the river with this on the outside of my waders and they repel water amazing. The pockets fill up but dry quickly. They can be used in -20 weather fishing by proper layering under so get a size a bit bigger. I can fit a lot of small sized Patagonia tops but opted for medium in these jackets so I could layer up a few hoodies under.

First Patagonia product and rain coat. Hesitant at first due to the price, but for me well worth it. Quality product. Don't remember if the product description mentions it, but this rain coat packs into its front left pocket, I think, too, which is pretty cool. Watched a video to see how it's done. Wouldn't call myself a total off the grid outdoors type person - fear of alpha predators like sharks and bears - but when I'm not in my head and can make it into the woods / mountains, it kept me dry during a 4.5 mile walk / hike in some medium-steady rain w/ my dog. Like the way the hood is designed - the cords on it allow you to shape it to your head which is cool. Imagine others familiar w/ rain coats will know what I'm talking about. The "bill" on the hood, I guess ... MoreFirst Patagonia product and rain coat. Hesitant at first due to the price, but for me well worth it. Quality product.

The "bill" on the hood, I guess it's called?, seems to do a really good job of directing the flow of water to the sides of your head instead directly down onto your face. It's really light. I got a Large, and it might be a tad big on me, but I can see myself liking the extra space in the winter when wearing more layers. If you've never bought a raincoat before I think this is a good initial first investment for the money. It's light, feels well made, and its design includes some cool features I'd never thought would make such a nice difference walking in the rain.

I had the old 2-layer Torrentshell for many years. Over time that jacket lost its water-repellency and would just cling to my body like an old wet plastic garbage bag. Not fun! Dropped by the Patagonia store on the UWS in New York and they gave me a new one of these. I'm extremely impressed with the high-quality of the newer 3-layer jackets and its improved design. It feels way more substantial, like an actual shell, and I can tell it's going to last way longer than the other one. The new hood is amazing, and the jacket fits better than ever before. The only detail that I would keep in mind is that it's a bit bigger than the old style, to better accommodate layers, I would imagine. A+ job!
I think for the price, this is the best bang for your buck of the rain shells. I'm usually a tweener in Patagonia sizing (between a medium and large), but this medium coat is perfect. I am 5'10 175 42.5" chest 32" waist. Room for ease of movement and layers underneath but more fitted. Pit zips work great. Hood is very functional. All the seams are well taped and top quality. It breathes better than other rain shells I have had in the past from other companies. This coat seems like it will last for years with regular wear. My only negative would be there is no way to get front ventilation when it is really warm. On other coats I was able to loosely close the front either with snaps or Velcro without actually zipping, but there is no way to do that with this coat.

I recently purchased this rain jacket to replace an older Patagonia Rain Shadow jacket that had started to delaminate after years of regular use. Thank you to Patagonia for the warranty credit! I recently put it to the test on an 11-day backpacking hike on the Tour du Mont Blanc in Europe. I rolled it up and stuck it in the outside web stuff pocket of my backpack for ready access. It kept me 100% dry in hail, thunder and lightening at the top of the Grand Col Ferret and for the hours it took to get safely down, 100% dry in the rain on the approach to Les Contamines, 100% dry in the rain showers in Chamonix and added extra warmth on the cool evenings and mornings outside refuges in the high Alps.

I wish it had some kind of interior pocket or sleeve (that wouldn't overlap with backpack shoulder straps or waist belt) and I miss the red color in the lineup. I'm looking forward, with full confidence, to years of additional active use.
I was looking for a shell to take airline traveling or backpacking - so besides repelling water and being breathable, I wanted it to be lightweight (so it would easily fold small and fit in my carry-on or 10L butt pack). While it is not ultralight - this medium-lightweight feature gives me confidence that I can wear it out on a cold breezy morning, be able to stow it away easily when the sun comes out in the afternoon, and put it back on when the temps drop. For the weight savings, it is durable. I have felt assured that the flexible/slow-permeable membrane outer material would not rip very easily when brushing by branches and bushes. To be clear, this jacket is only a shell (it has no insulation - you use your base to medium layers for that).

To be clear, this jacket is only a shell (it has no insulation - you use your base to medium layers for that). The semi/slow breathability of this jacket has limits. For this reason, in all conditions but standing outside for hours in a heavy downpour, it will do what it was designed to do - block the wind and rain while decreasing the clamminess of moisture buildup from physical exertion. The zippered armpits also help. Recommended. The only reason I did not give this piece a 5 star rating is because (and this is personal preference) the side pockets are too low to be used with the standard waist harness of a backpack. For a jacket designed for the outdoors - I was kind of hoping the side pockets would be higher up. I think I understand the reasoning though. It is because the armpit zippers already create a pretty big seam, and high pockets could compromise the integrity of the piece.
I have been a Patagonia fan for a number of years, and have always been really consistent with the sizing. I am 5 foot 7, 154lb, athletic built, and I wear S in all of my jackets and gear, including other well known outdoor brands. What I found quite strange about this jacket, was the fitting in some part to my body. Although it a perfect fit around my chest, and lower abdomen area (even with a hoodie), I found it quite snug in the armpit, it cuts deep (the zipper cuts into into my armpit) while longer average sleeves. Also, although the chest and abdomen area fit perfect, the jacket is a longer than what I usually wear (half-way down my bottom) it is quite snug around my hips.When trying on a medium, the sleeves are way too long, too much room in my chest and ... MoreI have been a Patagonia fan for a number of years, and have always been really consistent with the sizing.

The only benefit of the Medium is reliving the armpit discomfort.I would recommend, just be mindful as the sizing is not as traditional as other Patagonia products for ME. I have S in all my products, this jacket is just a little different.
Note: This is my third different version of this jacket. Previous two versions both suffered from delaminating. This one is just a month old now.Todays task: 2.8 mile brisk, mostly flat walk to the store and back.Conditions: 55 degrees and cloudy, no wind nor rain.Load: Nothing on the way out, two six-packs on the way back (carried in hand).Clothing: Capilene t-shirt and long sleeve flannel shirt worn under Torrentshell, Levis 501s, no hat.Result: even though I had pit zips and front zipper all the way open, I got surprisingly sweaty and clammy, especially on the arms and back.

This is a great jacket it is truly all purpose and works well in urban and not so urban environments. The sleeves are typically for Patagonia just a little longer than neccssary but that does allow you you to hide your hands inside them easily. The pit zips work much better when wearing a pack than rear jacket exhaust vents do. The fits my long oval shaped head nicely.Why oh why can't American clothes designers fit zips correctly on jackets and coats? The incorrectl orientation of the zip lost this jacket a star and probably should have lost it two for this basic design flaw.Other than the zip this is another top Patagonia product to go with my ciollection of Patataginia clothing some of which goes back over 30 years and is still in regular use.
