Antora Waterproof Hooded Rain Jacket

This jacket will be returned. It does not have the same quality or features of my previous North Face jackets. What happened to NF quality?! The body design is flattering, but there are no underarm vents, pockets are in an awkward place, and the sleeve cuffs used to have elastic AND Velcro adjustments. Also, the NF logo used to be embroidered, and this new version has a cheap, plastic iron-on logo.

I was torn between 3 and 4 stars but ultimately chose 4: it's not the product's fault that my search for "women's running rain jacket" yielded this product. I hoped to obtain a breathable jacket for running in the pouring PNW, but this coat was not meant for any heavy activity. As a rain jacket, as advertised, it's great: the hood fits very nicely over my head and does a great job keeping the water out. However, because the material doesn't breathe very well, walking with it for a prolonged time under pouring rain will eventually cause lots of sweating, especially around the sleeves. As a running jacket, despite what the search results yield, it is not suited for the sport at all: it's not packable (which, I admit should have been my first clue!), it's not breathable, and though light for a rain coat, it is heavy for sports. Buy this jacket for anything other than sports!
