Race Face Nano Packable Jacket

Just got back from a Downieville, CA road trip. Weather was in the 40's and WINDY, with some rain. Got off the shuttle at the top of the mountain and it was crazy windy and cold. I had this in my jersey pocket, put it on and it made a world of difference. I went from cold and miserable to comfortable and ready to focus on riding. It is very thin, weighs nothing and packs down to a tiny size it's amazing that it actually works. This is a great stopgap, the only thing that would be better is if it was truly waterproof and not just water resistant. However, there is a huge jump in price for the true waterproof stuff like Gore. Overall VERY happy with this purchase and highly recommend it. I'm 5' 9" 168lbs and this fit over a baselayer and thermal LS XC style jersey perfectly.

If you ever wanted a perfect piece of kit for your cooler weather mt. bike adventures, this is it. I have spent thousands on different apparel and gear through the years and this is by far the best investment. I actually bought this one as a backup to another one I have. I do not want the day to come where I don't have one of these. Plus the orange is good for visibility and use during hunting season. As far as moisture resistance goes, this does VERY well considering how extremely light it is. So yes, great for drizzly days. Another one of my favorite uses is for descending on colder days, after getting all sweaty on the climb, pop this on to keep some heat in and block the wind, it really rocks for this use. It is adequately breathable consider it's waterproofness and has some good pit venting. The elastic draw cords for hood and waist are great and function superbly. The front pocket while seemingly awkward, comes in very handy while traveling. Stuff your beanie in when you get warm on the climbs, or toss in those fogged up glasses.... The fit is spot on and very comfortable. I am 175lbs 5'8" physical build, went with the medium as I do with most all clothing and couldn't ask for a better fit. There is a decent amount of drop hem to keep your arse dry. My first version has been used and abused for a few years and still going strong, durability seems to be ace as well.

The fit for me is great, I like a little bit tighter fitting cycling cloths. This jacket is perfect for riding when weather is around 40 degrees. It does get warm when the trail starts to climb but it packs up into is own pocket and is easy to pack away. It could use some better breathability vents. Great product overall

I'm 6'3", 205. This is a very athletic cut. Fit's me well. Not too tight, but now flapping in the wind either. Speaking of wind... this think blocks wind completely. Like any other wind barrier though... it is no breathable. When you get your heart pumping, it kind of feels like you're wearing a plastic trash bag. Haha. Looks great. I wear it out and get compliments from it.

It's ridiculously light!!! But does everything promised!!! Great protection from rain! Keeps your body very warm! And if you don't need it anymore then you can just stuck it in smallest pocket you got. It probably takes less space then a pair of socks - Really Cool!!!

Remarkable jacket.....very light and warm yet more breathable than a cotton hoodie. I'm 6'3" 190 lbs and x-large fit perfect

Fit as expected. It rained steadily for 3 hours during a 100km organized cycling ride. I decided to spend a little more and buy this jacket and it was worth every penny as it kept me dry. Provided decent wind breaking as well and is highly visible. OUTSTANDING!

This is an excellent jacket. It's waterproof and breathable. It also serves to cut down on the wind a bit if the weather is just a bit too cool. It's very light weight and fits nicely in my Camelbak. The fit is nice and long in the sleeves so they don't ride up when I'm on the bike.

Wir haben uns schon die zweite Jacke in diesem leuchtenden Grün gekauft und benutzen sie zum Joggen und Radlfahren. Zum Radfahren eignet sie sich v.a. deshalb, weil sie sehr lang geschnitten und damit über das Steißbein geht und so den Rücken bis nach unten schützt.+ die Jacke ist aus einem ganz weichen Nylon, das sich wunderbar anfühlt und auch auf die nackte Haut angenehm zu tragen ist.+ sie ist unglaublich leicht und lässt sich zu einem winzigen Knäul zusammmenrollen, passt damit überall rein+ der Stoff ist sehr, sehr dünn und man hat beinahe Angst ihn zu zerreißen, teu-teu-teu, bisher blieben sie heil+ die Kapuzen gehen auch über einen Fahradhelm und schützen damit nicht nur Kopf, sondern auch den Nacken- die Druckknöpfe für die Kapuze lassen sich sehr schwer lösen, besser mit einem stumpfen Messer dazwischenfahren und aushebeln.+ sie hat praktische Taschen vorn und hinten mit Reißverschlusso die Jacke schützt v.a. vor Wind und leichtem Regen.- Im Herbst bin ich bei einer Mountainbiketour in einen starken Dauerregen gekommen. Irgendwann kam das Wasser zwischen Kapuze und Jacke rein und lief den Rücken runter. Also eigentlich nichts zum Schutz vor Regen.

Ich habe die Jacke als Wind-/Regenschutz zum Mountainbiken gekauft und bin sehr zufreiden damit.Sie ist so klein im Packmaß, dass sie z.B. gut in eine Gürteltasche passt.Die Klettbündchen an den Ärmeln verhindern ein aufblähen durch den Fahrtwind.In der Brusttasche kann man gut z.B. eine Sonnenbrille verstauen, wenn es dafür zu dunkel geworden ist.Bei unsicherem Wetter nimmt man sie mit dem sehr geringen Gewicht immer gerne mit.

Fits well over other biking apparel. Nice and light but keeps the wind away. Easy to store in pack and have available in those not sure days.
