Thread: Rain jackets

Just picked up the Halo today and tried it on. I'm 5'6" and 62 kg and the size small is very roomy with long (over my fingertips) sleeves. Don't know when it will get tested but I like the lightweight of it and the fact it packs down so small.

After reading this thread I've had a local store put a couple Halo's on hold for me. I measured myself and i'm 115 around the chest which the HE site at the XL-2XL range. The store was nice enough to put one of each aside for me to test fit once im out of isolation.
I've been weighing up a stowit, but im happy to find this thread with a lot of Halo recommendations.

Earth Sea Sky Hydrophobia best jacket I've had, and I've had a few, super light and compact and keeps rain out 100%
I have two of them, one I wear quite a bit on the farm and other one only use for hunting. If my farm one is anything to go by I'll get a fair bit of hunting out of the other one. Good cut keeps your legs and bum dry if you're a shorts wearer and I've had zero problems with seam tape coming away which is what always goes first in every seam taped jacket, I've even been guilty of throwing my farm one in the drier quite a few times which is the biggest no no out and it's been fine.
