No REI has a different rain jacket line with goretex (Xero Dry) that is slightly lighter with less features. This is for skiing.
Very hard to play the violin in this.

Great jacket. Bought this when it was 156ish and worked fantastic for skiing. Biggest complaint is that it's a little thick and you'll sweat in warmer temps

A fat guy left a negative review saying it was only for tall, fit men.

I bought this a few months ago for $150. I'm 5'10 185lbs and it fits perfectly with a base layer and fleece. I really like the jacket and the yellow is a great color. I have an older version of this in a beige/tan color. I highly recommend it.

Pretty much this. REI jackets are always on sale because they design a medium for a model who is typically 6'1" and 150 pounds.

I just received this jacket today. Seems like a thoughtfully well made medium weight GoreTex shell. I like that the neck zippers up pretty high to cover my chin during driving snow. The hood fits my helmet perfectly. All the pockets are boss, but I am pocket guy so this could be overkill if that's not you. One initial minor disappointment….the velcro wrist cuffs only have the ability to tighten "somewhat"….by no means all the way to a snug fit against your wrist to make putting a glove over easier.
