Separated by an hour’s drive, Vancouver’s bustling Robson Street and the Mount Seymour Trail share two traits—a feast for the eyes and a lot of rain. Lightweight and travel-friendly, the Torrentshell provides full storm protection whether you’re making your way through drizzle or slogging through seriously soaking conditions. It has a supple 2.5-layer, 100% recycled nylon ripstop shell with a tenacious waterproof/breathable barrier to block drenching rain and vent your internal combustion. A DWR (durable water repellent) finish increases water- and abrasion-resistance. The hood features a laminated visor that holds its shape in the wind and 2-way adjustability for a personalized fit. Internal and external storm flaps cover the front 2-way zipper; the external flaps have hidden snap closures that add protection. Plenty of pockets keep you organized, including two chest pockets, two lower top-loading front pockets and a pair of handwarmers lined with fleece for warmth and comfort. An internal adjustable drawcord keeps out wind and cold air. Lower-hip length.

Weatherproof
2.5-layer H2No® Performance Standard shell fabrics are completely waterproof, windproof, breathable and highly packable for backpacking, alpine climbing and backcountry skiing. They combine a water-repellent shell fabric with a waterproof/breathable membrane and a protective top coat barrier without needing a protective lining fabric. A raised print layer is applied to decreased layering friction and increase moisture management.
2.5-layer H2No® Performance Standard shell fabrics are coated with DWR (durable water repellent) fabric finish that repels light rain and snow. In conjunction with a waterproof/breathable barrier, the DWR finish keeps the outer fabric from becoming saturated so that the breathable barrier can do its job.
All products bearing the H2No mark have been vigorously tested for durability in our 24 Killer Wash.

Well done rain jacket
I was looking for something longer and a touch more upscale than the standard Torrentshell - this is a bull's eye. Short rain jackets never really made sense to me, and I'm tall so parka length usually is a good thing if there's gonna be any bad weather. In comparison to the standard version it feels sturdier and a bit more refined in the details. Stretchy cuffs with snaps, I do prefer velcro generally but the fit was perfect so no complaints there. I'm 6'4" 220lbs and the XL length is perfect in terms of coverage and the sleeves. I saw someone complain about the Carbon color, saying they were expecting something different but it looks green to me on the website and the one that arrived was identical. I like the color, though they should probably have a black one available too.
My only issue is the pockets, which are squared so when you put your hands in them it's at a bit of an awkward side angle, something I saw in a couple of their winter jackets this year. Not a fan of that, not very comfortable but not something I would return it for. They work fine and have a thin fleece on the inside.
The zippers are huge and two way, a nice touch and a must at this length. Nice looking enough for around town, sturdy and comfortable overall. The outer material is the same as the torrentshell which hasn't ever let me down for day to day use, though it's not a gore tex bomb shelter. If you're climbing a 14er this may not be your jam. It's simply a well done rain jacket, thanks!
Dropped a star for the awkward pockets, but I still recommend it very much.

Color is wrong
Like the idea of this jacket. Especially for travel. Ordered the Carbon thinking it was charcoal grey but no it’s forest green?! Annoying. Returning.

Almost Pefect
Overall, I am very happy with this jacket. I was looking for a technical jacket that will work in outdoor environments and in an urban setting while traveling overseas. I love to have versatile outerwear that can work in both scenarios when traveling. This jacket pretty much hits all of the marks. The construction of the zippers, pockets, elastic cuffs, the adjustable hood, the adjustable hem around the torso, and the longer length are all fantastic features of this jacket. If I could change a couple of things: I would have the hood become stowable, have the logo not as pronounced and placed somewhere else (for urban settings), and would've added a lined chin guard. All in all, I would wear this jacket in a rainforest monsoon and walking around the streets of Rome at night time and feel appropriately dressed.

Excellent overall, but not perfect
I am by and large basing my review in comparison to a competitors product that is very similar, with a lower MSRP.
The good: Lightweight, super packable, breathes, nice material. I got it in the forge grey and the color has a beautiful metallic sheen to it. The two-piece hood is excellent and stays in place. Lined pockets are a big plus and I'm all about a double zipper. I haven't tested it in a downpour, but holds up well to moderate PNW rain. The side pockets do not zip closed, and I've found I prefer that. Very good looking jacket for all-purpose wear.
The bad: Again, in comparison to my other parka with a much lower MSRP... there is no drawstring at the hem, which would be a nice to have. The hood does not pack away, which would be GREAT, and there is no chest pocket, either internal or external. The fleece used to line the pockets is very, very thin, almost to the point of being pointless. The length is not quite enough to cover the bottoms of my pants' back pockets.
My biggest qualm with this jacket is the snap closures everywhere. They are certainly more refined than velcro, BUT, velcro will secure your belongings better overall, and every single time I open one of these snaps, I know it's going to tear the material eventually. Good in theory but poor execution.
In short, I would not purchase this at full price given these shortcomings. Definitely worth it on sale. But with a stowable hood, drawstring at hem, better pocket closures and slightly longer it would be pretty much perfect. Overall, a great product.

Bomber and lightweight
Bought this recently and took it on first backpacking trip. Stood up to summer monsoon season in Telluride brilliantly. Great summer shell. Wait and see how it holds up over the long term.

effective waterproof shell
I bought this because I wanted a longer fit than typical jackets which allows everything below my waist to get wet. It has the typical high-quality construction of Patagonia, but the details are a bit lacking.
The pockets are all a bit shallow, I can't fit my phone in any of them and have them snap closed. And, oh yeah, the pockets close with snaps, not zippers.
I understand that an entry level garment might not have the highest feature content, like sealed zippers and put zips, but it seems a bit dated in design.
I am between sizes, so I bought the Large. I am not swimming in it, but I do have room to layer.
Nonetheless, am happy with the quality, length and waterproof perfornance of the jacket. And I am always pleased with the lifetime warranty that Patagonia offers.

Great rain jacket
This jacket is a good option for those looking for something a tad heavier than your typical shell. I would say it fits in the gap between ultralight shell and insulated rain jacket with the weight of material.
It is longer than most jackets. Almost built like a rain slicker, which is nice for covering your rear if you're sitting on wet seats or even outside when the rain is coming sideways.
Also the piece is generously cut so that you can layer underneath. Easily fit my mid weight puffy jacket under it without feeling like the kid from A Christmas Story with too many layers on.

Almost perfect
Love the double zipper and the pockets.
What would make it perfect?
- better hood storage or a detachable hood
- more breathable: add pit zips or better yet, make it out of GoreTex
