Men's Elements Jacket

Nice jacket, but the sizing isn't consistant with other Showers Pass jackets. Large is smaller than other larges

Great jacket for fit. Live in Florida and it does seem to still keep you cool when using it. Looking forward to wearing it in Ireland.

Haven't had a chance to wear it in the cold rain of the PNW, but it looks and feels great.

I stumbled across a recommendation for Showers Pass in an online forum while seeking advice on replacing an old sailing jacket and ended up buying the Elements Night Ride jacket for use as an all-around rain jacket. Love it. The quality is top notch and the fit is perfect - I normally wear either medium or large and I sized up based on other reviews; the large is close fitting, not baggy but allows full freedom of motion for sailing, cycling, hiking, or everyday wear.

Love this new jacket! First ordered it in large - my Showers Pass rain jackets are large - but because I wear this bicycling jacket for civilian activities too, I needed XL to accommodate base layers. The exchange was easy to do, even for someone like me who is less practiced at the digital us of QR codes etc. Today was the first day I've actually worn it in the rain and it was just great!

DEETS: 5'-9" tall, 160 lbs, average/slim body type.

I picked up this jacket (my second Shower's Pass jacket) as an afterthought as it was on sale, and now this is my daily-use commute jacket. LOVE the extra-strength material in the shoulders to stave off backpack-strap damage and the (easily) removeable hood.

Everything I've gotten from SP has been phenomenal - you can take any piece from their collection and spend a lot of time finding all the special care and thought they've put into designing and creating each piece, from the angling of ventilation vents to the little pockets you tuck the velcro from your hood into.

The quality looks and feels great

The ventilation zippers work great when biking and the wind chill is freezing but still work up a sweat.
A little too noisy/crinkly when moving but not an issue

My only criticism is the pockets are basically horizontal and I constantly drop anything I keep in the pockets including my phone and a beanie I lost after it fell out. (In their defense, it does have a zipper to close the pockets, I just forget to use it)

The inside pockets are like a mesh net which I love and tend to use more than the outside pockets.

The hood fits over my helmet, drawstrings tighten it nicely

The pictures makes it look grey but in reality it looks more olive green which was a pleasant surprise.

I wish it had the longer bit in the lower back to prevent a draft, but I find myself using the waist tightening drawstring thingies all the time and keeps me warmer
Wearing this over my puffer jacket definitely nice and warm

4.5/5 will definitely be taking this with me on my cross country bike tour

Nice features, size up if you need to fit warmer layers.

Love this jacket. String shell. Double front zippers cents. No front chest pocket, made up for a glasses cleaner microfiber cloth, hanging inside right pocket.

Great fit, nicely made. Plenty of pockets. Definitely waterproof as expected.

This jacket has kept me dry for years on northern California trails. Not too hot as just a rain layer for warmer wet days. I recently had to pick up an XL as a result of becoming larger. At the sale price it was a no-brainer. I the only dedicated rain jacket I've owned I don't have anything to compare it to but it has definitely served me well.

I have known about showers pass for a couple years now. I was hesitant to spend this much on rain gear but kept coming back to the website and finally I decided to just go for it. I'm really glad I did. The quality really is amazing. The look and feel is great and this stuff really works great. So far just a short tour but it rained the entire time and I was VERY happy that I had this jacket, the pants and the gloves. 2 thumbs up.

I've worn the jacket a couple of times in moderate showers and it works perfectly. I did open the side vents which kept me from getting too warm and I didn't get clammy like you do in Goretex. The fit is perfect and not baggy. All the details are spot on which is typical from Shoers Pass.
