United StatesQuality jacket but sizing needs to improve
It’s a nice jacket and overall is made well. The sewing isn’t the neatest in some areas, but shouldn’t affect the performance. Despite these positives, the sizing for this jacket is substantially off industry standards for an outerwear jacket, especially when considering layers that would typically be worn underneath. Example - even for the size that I received, being the largest option available that worked for my build, opening the pit zippers with a couple of layers worn underneath is a bit strained since the sizing of the upper sleeve and armhole is a bit too tight. It’s a real plus having the actual sizes of the garments on the website to navigate which size to order, but I am a 5’7” 150# male and needed to order a women’s XL because the sizing for the men’s jackets is so out of sync with what I’d typically find in any other mainstream brand of rain jacket. I’m typically a men’s medium and was able to work it out well enough with a women’s XL but at this price point, I’d expect a better reflection of garment research and sizing construction. Hopefully this can be changed for the benefit of others.
United StatesQuality products but sizing doesn’t match industry standards
I’m looking forward to using the Vertice Rain jacket, but one point that I think is worth mentioning is that the sizing of this garment (& all the measurements for the mens & womens jackets) is significantly off from industry standards as an outwear jacket. Considering the layers that one would typically wear under this jacket, the sizing seems to be geared towards models that are either atypical in body measurements or very thin in many areas. I think some more research in standards of measurements for jackets or garments in general would help make the sizing more consistent with what someone would expect when buying a Packs garment.
New Zealand United StatesGreat Rain Jacket
My current rain jacket weighs 13.4 oz and I needed something much lighter for long trekking. Just got the rain jacket last night and I really like the color (blue), fit, the big pocket, and the "must have" pit zips. I ran it under the faucet and seems to hold up extraordinary to the water. My only beef is that it was advertised as 5.4 oz and it weighs in at 6.1 oz for the large. Although this is clearly in an acceptable range, they should advertise the weights of each of the sizes. I would have given the rating a 5 if it matched the weight advertised. Now I need to go give it a test drive!
United StatesVery glad I made the purchase
I will admit that I was a little hesitant when I purchased the raincoat based on the price. However, after lugging around a way too heavy raincoat for too many trips I decided to take the plunge. So very glad I did! First trip out of course it rains. I was nice and dry and completely comfortable. It’s true there is no or perspiration build up inside the jacket. It’s light as a feather. The fabric feels delicate but was extremely durable. Even when I was rubbing me arms up against a tree trying to get my hammock straps up there was no abrasion on the jacket. I will say the only thing that concerns me is the bottom hem line with the elastic in the back does pull at the bottom of the zipper. I am hoping it doesn’t create any stress on the zipper overtime. However, I couldn’t see any compromise to the zipper after this trip where I wore it for 2 days straight.
