From RockCreek:
"The Men's Rain Shadow Jacket by Patagonia is a versatile shell providing storm-level protection that's breathable and compressible. The differences between backcountry specialties disappear when thunderheads unleash- and everybody, from beginners to grizzled veterans, scrambles for waterproof/breathable protection. The compressible and light Rain Shadow features pit zips, an adjustable roll-down hood that's helmet-compatible and a raised internal diffusion pattern that slides easily over layers and channels moisture away from the skin. Sealed seams draw a hard line between you and the wet weather. Soft, compressible perforated hook-and-loop wrist closures, lightweight water-resistant zippers, and internal and external pocketing add to the finer points."

"Fit is relaxed, not athletic like Patagonia's climbing stuff, so it will layer well over almost anything but tends to feel baggy and is not long enough in the hem.
Nice light weight but this doesn't help when you want to use the stiff waterproof zips and end up using two hands to open a pocket or the pits."
