From wet alpine trails to soggy trips to the market, the Patagonia Women’s Storm Light Jacket beats back the moisture thanks to its waterproof breathable H2No barrier. This casually styled shell features a hanging mesh liner that eliminates that wet-plastic-bag feeling of some rain jackets and a stowable, adjustable hood to keep your head dry. The microfleece-lined collar enhances the comfortable feel, and plenty of pockets store all your daily essentials. When the jacket finally expires after years of use, it’s fully recyclable through Patagonia’s Common Threads program.

Better than the RainShadow

Rating:****
I hadn't intended to even buy a rain jacket the day I spotted the Storm Light, much less spend $200 on one. However, I really liked the color and fit. It fits sooo much better than the RainShadow. I've tried that one on a couple of times and it just doesn't work for me. Wrong cut. The storm light has just about everthing you would want in a rain jacket. Four things worth noting: (1) The sizing sees off. I usually wear medium, sometimes small in Pat. I got this in small and still have plenty of room for layering. (2) The previous reviewer was correct in that the velcro does catch the linner when laying/hanging somewhere, but it's not too big a deal for me. (3) The pit zip storm flaps are velcro-ed mid-way down to keep the flap down when the pit's closed, however when the pit is unzipped the velcro patches sometimes catch on their mate causing less of an air opening. I haven't decided if I like this or not. (4) I wish the dry climb collar linning was the same color as the shell - would blend in better when open. Overall I like this jacket.

Negative Reviews:

good jacket, poor design

Rating:**
This is a great jacket, but when not being worn, the velcro closures stick to and pull the mesh liner. Other than that, it's a good one.
