"My measurements are: 78cm waist, 96cm hip, 95cm bust. According to the size chart I would be between M and L and more likely L. I ordered M (because I never use large) and it was soooo big! I know as a rain jacket is good to have extra room for layers but this one 100% runs very large. I don't think the S would look good either to be honest. It looks like a male jacket, sorry! I don't recommend ordering online."
"Super lightweight. Haven't fully tested it in heavy rain yet. Not liking the design of the hood and way this sits."
"Sorry, I have not worn it yet"

It performed better than I was expecting. I’m used to a much heavier shell, so going to an ultralight rain jacket was a bit of a leap for me, but it held up really well in the few hours I had it on in heavy rain.
For lightweight missions where I’m on a track, speed is key, and I’m watching weight, this is perfect. Compared to other lightweight rain jackets in my kit, I’d pick this one. It doesn’t feel as clammy, it feels a bit sturdier, and it’s about the same weight, if not lighter. I’ll be picking it over my other ultralight shells.
Individual by design. Exceptional together. Every piece of the XT Series is designed with one goal - to keep you moving. Four technically advanced layers, each with a precise role: a breathable base, an adaptive mid, insulated warmth, and full weather protection. Worn together, they form Kathmandu's most complete hiking system. Worn individually, each piece still earns its place.
A breathable base layer, LayerOne sits close to your skin to wick sweat, regulate warmth, and move with you.
Our versatile mid layer, sitting perfectly between base layers and shell. Soft, breathable, and built to hold warmth without holding you back.
Warm without the bulk. HeatLock traps heat while staying breathable. Reliable from crisp mornings to cool evenings.
Fully waterproof, windproof, and seam-sealed to shield you from the storm. Breathable tech means you won't over heat when the pace picks up.
A rain jacket stays effective longer when it’s regularly cleaned, and this article explains how simple it is to wash one properly. It outlines how to prep, wash, optionally restore water repellency, and dry your jacket so it keeps performing well outdoors.
