I bought this jacket last year with the hope that it would keep me dry, while being breathable. I have now worn this jacket multiple times on cold rainy days and its like wearing a plastic bag. No water gets in but its not breathable at all. Its so bad, puddles of sweat forms in the jacket sleeves while I run. Do not buy this jacket if you are looking for something breathable.

Breathable?

I bought this jacket for an ultra trail I ran this weekend. I'm a fan of the Salomon brand, but if we're talking about breathability for this jacket, we're far from the quality expected. There's still work to be done on this jacket. The rain didn't get through, but I was flooded under my jacket after 5 minutes...

Excellent Trail Jacket

I waited until I had several runs in this jacket before I posted a review. I can now say this is a great jacket for me. Lightweight, waterproof and breathable. Best for use in cooler temperatures. My only wish for this jacket is for it to have underarm vents.

Good but not great.

I was able to test out the jacket in a light rain recently. Although the jacket is very light weight, seemed to have good ventilation I found myself wet from more sweat than rain upon my arrival at home. I am a little disappointed as I was expecting that the jacket would have been more breathable. The fit was perfect, with a very snug hood that kept in place during my windy runs.

Great to a limit

I purchased a second after my small was quite snug so I figured I’d save it for warmer weather rain use and purchased a large to wear in constant rain while working as a postal worker. I noticed while wearing it yesterday during a constant, prolonged rain storm, that a lot of condensation builds up inside with prolonged use. Maybe add some zippers to the armpits or other ventilation in the future? Otherwise I love it.

Light but not waterproof or breathable

This is a glorified windbreaker. Saturates in 5 min of down pour. Doesn’t breathe so saturated from inside with any aerobic or higher activity. Lightweight, well built and packs small.

Noisy, uncomfortable sweat suit.

Have had the jacket and trousers for a little while now; running in wind, rain and low temperatures. These are the first Salomon waterproofs I've owned; I've had Salomon boots for some time and the boots are faultless.Fit - a bit on the billowy side. Jacket states male, but fastens on the female side. Hood is too loose, blows off when running or wind in the face. 5/10Noise - constant swish, swish, swish. No worse then other jackets. 5/10Waterproof - very, as far as I can tell. See below. 9/10Breathable - NOPE! I run in a thin base layer and the waterproofs and I am dripping wer after every run, regardless of weather conditions and ambient temperature.. I've found more breathable bin-liners. These things are sweat-boxes. Seriously, you'll be better wearing ... MoreHave had the jacket and trousers for a little while now; running in wind, rain and low temperatures.

You can find better for a lot less money.

Not breathable at all!

I purchased this because it said it was waterproof and breathable. When i had finished my run (in the rain) the inside of the jacket was soaking as were my base and outer layers. I could not have been wetter had I ran without the jacket on. Very disappointing.

The PERFECT Hawaiian rain jacket !?!

If you’re in a place like Costa Rica or Hawaii where it’s warm and the rains are pretty consistent ,. Than look no further then this bad boy . It’s crazy lightweight !!! Feels like nothing on . It’s 🤩 🤙🏾👍🏿

Waterproof but fails in light, constant, rain…

Bought a small and it seemed great. Then I bought a larger size for working outside in the elements. Always take care and clean how Salomon recommends. Last week I had it on and after 30-40 mins in a light rain it failed. I got drenched. Then froze. Awesome.
