Description
Rain Hoody is an alternative to expensive membrane jackets and heavy ponchos. It is a minimalistic waterproof anorak with long side zippers.
Two sliders allow you to open the zippers for ventilation in a single area or completely for ventilation along the entire length.
Wide visor protects the face. Hood can be adjusted with a drawstring at the front and a special Velcro at the back.
The anorak has a loose fit for better ventilation. Long sleeves allow you to use it while cycling. Cuffs with drawstrings protect against water getting inside the sleeves.
Made of 15 denier nylon with polyurethane impregnation inside and silicone outside, it protects against rainfall up to 2500mm. For better protection against moisture we used water-resistant zippers and taped seams.

Great rain hoody.
You definitely will sweat in it if you don’t vent the heat, but with how long the zips are it’s pretty easy to do so.
I wish that it had slightly different zips- the square zip hanles get caught at 90 degrees often, if it had rounded zips or cord it would be better.
A snap at the bottom of the jackets zip would be useful- I do worry about long term pressure on the zip from undoing it every time to take it off.
In the future, it would be wicked to have the option for thicker or thinner materials- 10D or 20D or 30D etc

This has quickly become my everyday rain jacket. Unlike other membranes, it actually keeps me dry in sustained heavy rain. I’m tall have found it hard to find a jacket long enough in the arms and back. Not so with the Rock Front hoody, the cut is perfect for me. The length of the sleeves allows me to pull of over gloves and move my arms around with the cuffs staying in place. The fabric is thin, which is to be expected for an ultralight jacket. I would love to see a version with a thicker fabric to use as an everyday jacket. I think it would be very popular with casual hikers living in wet climates.

Nice design but be aware it runs really big!
