You stroll through the downpour, into your office building, and pull off The North Face Paradox Rain Jacket’s removable hood. At first you think people are admiring the way water streams off your jacket’s waterproof Hyvent fabric, but then you notice they’re fascinated by the shoulder storm flap—their minds are wondering what in the world is under that flap. A deployable spy cam perhaps, or a black hole leading to the sixth dimension? Actually it’s a hidden key pocket, but they’ll never know. Two snap-down shoulder epaulets add business style to this rain jacket.

Great jacket to cover a suit or sport coat | |
| Rating: |  |
| I searched long and hard to find a really waterproof jacket that doesn't make me look dumb when wearing a suit or sport coat, and this seems to be the only one on the market. All the trench coat-length rainwear for men is "water-resistant", but isn't very effective in real rain; women have lots of options, but no other manufacturer seems to have clued in to the fact that men need this, too. Sure, there are plenty of effective men's jackets out there, but they all stop at or just below the waist, making you look stupid when wearing a coat that hangs below it. I thank North Face, a trustworthy brand making sturdy products, for recognizing than men in suits walking around downtown in the rain don't want to get soaked after a couple of minutes (standard trench coats) or look like they're on a mountainclimbing adventure when they're not. Only drawback: it's designed to withstand very harsh conditions means it's also kinda heavy, and takes up a moderate amount of room in a suitcase. I put it in my carry-on with no problem, but don't expect it to be a light nylon stuff-in-a-bag item. | |
