The raincoat of my DREAMS. For the price, I cannot fault this jacket at all. If you’re looking for an affordable jacket that can come with you around town as well as on your hikes, this jacket should be your first stop! The fit is slightly more fitted than boxy, coming in at the waist a bit, but I found that you could just about size down in this. It is lightweight, comfortable and super breathable. The colour options are completely unmatched by any other raincoat (peach?! Get real!) and I would absolutely not hesitate to buy this jacket again. Unless you’re in the markt for a hardcore super techy jacket, this raincoat will probably be your new best friend.

Fit tip:

True to size or possible even a bit big. Not a straight fit but does not restrict the hips.

The Torrentshell 3L is a cult classic for a reason. 3 layer construction, lightweight, and very affordable. This jacket is perfect for anyone wanting a rain shell for around town, day hikes or are just getting into tramping. If you're going to be in some seriously stormy conditions, you'll want a heavier duty shell - but if you're just starting out or only getting out a few times a year, this is a great option.

This generation of the Torrentshell is more generous in its sizing - I normally wear a size medium in tops and while the medium just fit in the previous model I find the current model runs slightly larger and more generously in the hips.

Fit tip:

True to size - generous in the hips
