It’s been getting colder lately, so I’m looking for a windbreaker-like outerwear. I was looking for a rain jacket that would be durable enough to use outdoors anyway, and that would replace a raincoat.
An acquaintance of mine told me that Patagonia’s windshells were good, so I went to see them at 好日山荘. So I went to see them at 好日山荘.
That’s where I found the Patagonia Men’s Rain Shadow Jacket.
It looks sleek, yet it is waterproof and ventilated.
It also has some stretch and is pocketable and small.
This article describes the sizing of the Patagonia Men’s Rain Shadow Jacket.
If you are about 170cm, size XS or S?
I am smaller than average, with a height of 169 cm and a weight of 54 kg, and I have a slender build.
Since this is an overseas manufacturer, some people may be wondering which size to choose, so I will leave this for the record.
Buy XS
I’m rather slim, so I bought an XS.
The sleeves felt a little long, but it was just the right size considering it could be used as a raincoat.
What about length and size?
When I actually wore it, it was just the right size.
Sleeves look a little long, but you can squeeze them with Velcro, so no problem.
The length is about 5 cm above the inseam, which is not a bad impression from a fashion standpoint.
In terms of size, it is a normal wind shell, but when the pockets are turned inside out, it is compact.
Small and convenient pocketable
The right pocket of the jacket is turned inside out, and the whole thing comes together in one mass.
If you keep it in the back of your bag, it will be safe in cold weather or sudden rain.
It is a thick and durable wind shell in a normal size, so it will be quite useful as street wear.
If you don’t have a store nearby and can’t try them on, and you are around 170 and slender, you can choose XS.
I bought mine at 好日山荘 store, but I think you can also buy it on their official website, so please take a look.
