Good as a winter running jacket
This jacket is acceptable for every day use as a rain jacket, but it's not fully waterproof, and I probably wouldn't take it up a mountain if I expected the weather to be harsh. Every time I've worn it in rain, I've stayed relatively warm, but I've gotten wet.

It's also snagged pretty badly when I've scrambled up east coast granite, to the point where its structure has been compromised.

I've most successfully used it as a shell when running long distance during Syracuse winter to keep wind and light precipitation off me and to keep in the warmth. I still own it for this reason.
