I love the fit and color of this jacket. But the fabric is stiff and noisy (sounds like plastic when I move it.) For this reason I only gave two stars. I washed it to see if it would soften up but it did not. So Im stuck with it I guess.

Cute jacket, great color
I have been eyeing this color rain jacket for a while but in the Granite Crest, which is not quite as noisy. They seemed to have discontinued the GC in this color. This jacket is cute and works for the rain but it is really noisy when you move.
Great product, well made, GREAT color, but wish manufacturers would make products for women that are shaped like women, and not 14 year old boys. I'm 5'4", 150 lbs with curves, wear a size 12, ordered a large, and it was very tight across chest and hips. No way I could wear anything other than a light fleece under this jacket. Unfort...

Thank you for this fit feedback, Linda. We're sorry this Jacket didn't work better for you! While we're working on expanding our size offerings, we can still do better about offering a variety of shapes as well; not all customers are built the same. We are sharing your thoughts with our design team.

Great rain jacket
Perfect for daily wear. I like my jackets big so I can layer so ordered a size up. Does make a little noise with movement but doesnt bother me.
I wanted to buy a rain jacket that doesn't add any extra warmth so I can wear it year-round. This fits the bill perfectly, so at least my upper body stays dry even if my socks are drenched.
I bought this raincoat thinking I could wear it over a vest to go for extended walks on drizzly, cold Michigan Michigan days in late fall/early spring.
Although it was very well-made, it was much thinner than I thought it would be. Additionally, while it fit my 5 foot 2 inch, 110 lb frame, the sleeves were way too long.
I returned the coat and wi... Read Morell look for a rain slicker that is flannel lined, or at least a heavier fabric.
Hi Kim, thank you for your review of the Women's Torrentshell 3L Rain Jacket. We're sorry to hear that the fit and thickness weren't what you were expecting. We don't have a rain shell with a liner, but we would would recommend checking this shell/parka combo in the [Women's Pine Bank 3-in-1 Parka](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-pine-bank-3-in-1-parka/21025.html?dwvar_21025_color=BSNG&cgid=womens-jackets-vests-casual-warmest). A waterproof shell that can be worn alone or with the parka combo on colder days.
Loved the jacket but sleeves are too short. Always a challenge to find a feminine cut with long enough sleeves for my 5'11" frame. The return policy was convenient.
Thanks for this feedback, Aimee! We understand that frustration. If it might help, our Customer Service Team will be happy to provide specific measurements like sleeve length so you can be more confident of getting the right fit.

WS Torrentshell 3 L rainjacket
Good roomy fit, nice long sleeves, hood provides good roomy protection, coat covers to below hip. Only negative thus far is it is a bit stiff. Size LG. I'm 5'8", 150 lbs.
What I'd expect from a shell. Only 4 stars because the material is noisy, and when seated rowing, the zipped jacket curls up to create a catchment area for water to pool.
This is for a Xmas gift for my wife so can’t give much feedback at this time. But it will be the second one for her. She wore her first one out. I also am on my second one. These are great jackets! Very versatile.
Love this jacket! I have worn it during some of the early icy drizzles here in NE and it has kept me perfectly dry. Love that the sleeves are long enough but can be tightened with Velcro. True to size
I like the look of this jacket. Got the blue/green color. It runs small especially in the hips as others had said. Initially bought a large(I usually wear medium but like to layer, size 8-10) and it was too tight with a sweater underneath. I'll be using this mostly as a shell while fly fishing in colder months. XL is better in the hips but the... Read More sleeves are REALLY LONG. I'm also stumped why they couldn't add a single additional storage pocket... seems stingy. At least a front chest pocket would be nice. Don't mind how noisy it is, doesn't bother me.
Too big. The large was just a wee snug around the waist fir layering but the XL was way too big- everywhere..So sorry as I LOVE the style, colors, and especially that Patagonia is a Fair Trade company.
We're sorry to hear that you're in between sizes on this one, and we really appreciate your feedback. We hope you'll check out the other [Women's Rain Jackets](https://www.patagonia.com/shop/womens/jackets-vests/rain-waterproof) and perhaps find that the regular fit Granite Crest or slim fit Slate Sky styles might work better for you.

Perfect
I'm a teacher. I live in very rainy coastal California. I am in and out, from classroom to field, from building to building, all day long. This jacket is perfect - warm enough, but not too warm. It's comfortable to wear. I really like its versatility.
Fabulous neutral color
Exceptional water repellent coat/ hood
Perfect vents and pockets
I will wear this over thick sweaters
Really love a PATAGONIA EVERYTHING for quality
Just got back from walk on the Pacific Coast, CA above the ocean. Cloudy, moist day. Perfect jacket to wear. I receive many compliments on the jacket. What else can I say? I feel confident knowing I have this to wear outdoors!
The jacket does what it says, keeps you dry with no added frills. No inner pockets; no pocket to put the hood away (this would have been nice). While the jacket looks nice, I find the pockets are a little too far back. You have to stretch back a little to put your hands in the pockets. For the price, it comes across a little basic (hence the 3 star... Read More rating).
We appreciate your feedback! The Torrentshell is our simplest rain jacket, so we recommend that you take a look at the other [waterproof jackets for women](https://www.patagonia.com/shop/womens/jackets-vests/rain-waterproof), to see if there might be one that better fits your needs. Please reach out to our Customer Service team if you have questions or would like assistance with a return. We'll be glad to help!

Keeps you dry
I am loving this product (especially the Balay Blue color). So far it has kept me dry when walking in the rain. The fit works well for my body (5'6 & 120 lbs). I like the way the cuffs have adjustable straps. The fact that the jacket is PFC-free attracted me to the jacket. I love all Patagonia products I have purchased to date, and the cus... Read Moretomer service is excellent!
The fit was way off, like a mens small that had not been altered in dimension at all. Sleeves were far too long, baggy in the shoulders so that it would not stay on unless zipped all the way up, and too long in the body. I could zip the jacket up but it was a little snug over my hips, not a deal breaker but since it was so oversized everywhere else... Read More this was not flattering. I returned.
We're sorry this jacket didn't fit you better! We want you to be happy with everything you get from us, so thank you for returning this one. Please let us know if we can be of any help in finding a better fit (our Customer Service Team will be happy to provide specific measurements for each size of any item).

Love this rain jacket
I love this rain jacket. It is beautifully designed and well made. It fits perfectly (an often challenging task for my long, slender body). And even though the material is a bit crunchy (don't try to sneak up on anyone while wearing it!), I plan to use it as part of my wet weather arsenal forever!
I bought this jacket to use on an Iceland hiking trip, however I am using it a lot running errands and hiking close to home as well. Its lightweight and waterproof; you can also easily layer it in colder weather. I highly recommend this jacket for all kinds of foul weather!
I have many rain jackets but we were attending an outdoor concert in the rain, and needed to insure that we would stay dry! And this jacket fit the bill! Wore a fleece underneath and not a drop through - with the hood kept us warm and dry for 6 hours in pouring rain! Only criticism is that it runs a little small so I had to get a large to fit a swe... Read Moreater or anything bulky underneath, and sleeves long for me but there's velcro so that was fine too. My husband bought the men's version and totally happy too. GREAT PURCHASE!!!
This jacket is amazing. I love it. I ordered a large and I am usually a medium. The large fits perfect -- with just enough room. It has so many great details but still very understated. I haven't been this happy with a purchase in a long time. I'm thinking about buying more for Christmas presents.
Really like the jacket. The longer fit and hood are great. I live in a rainy place and it is indeed waterproof. The only thing I think it needs is a zip pocket in the sleeve or breast I like to put a coin purse there for shopping. Thanks
Kept me very warm and dry on a hike in the Highlands! It worked well with extreme wind. It fit well yet had enough room for me to have layers underneath, including a packable down jacket.
I bought this to be able to take for travel. Said it packs into its pocket. Neither I nor my husband can get this to work!!!! Very disappointing!!! I have other packable Patagonia items.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review Amy! We are also very sorry to hear that you had issues with stuffing your jacket into its pocket. We would recommend making sure that you are stuffing your jacket into the left handwarmer pocket and slowly stuffing the pocket from the inside to ensure the entire jacket fits.

Rain jacket
I love the jacket, I will just add it would be nice for " full figured" women have a size choice in the great colors. Working on getting in better condition so it will end up being ok.
Omg im legit sitting here in 90 degree NYC weather hoping it rains just so i can rock my new raincoat! I love it. The style is cute, the fit is perfect and the color is this deep blue which is almost purplish a bit and goes w my rain proof purple uggs. So happy customer here for sure!!
Have worn it for 2 rainy hikes out in WA and stayed completely dry. 5'6" 150lbs (muscular build): fits perfectly with room for my better sweater (size M) underneath.
This jacket is lightweight, breathable and easily packable, yet totally waterproof. I love that it doesn't have velcro down the front zipper so it doesn't snag my shirt or a scarf. The hood is great and stays up. I wish I had found this jacket earlier! It's easily the best rain jacket I've ever tried.
I purchased the Torrentshell 3L Rain jacket based on one that I borrowed from a friend. It is lightweight and has functional detailing such as adjustable wrist tabs, pit zips, storm flaps over zippers, and adjustable hood. The fabric sheds rain well. It is a bit loud however which may be from the type of waterproofing fabric that is used. Due to it... Read Mores lightweight nature I would like to extend its use by layering a fleece or sweatshirt underneath. I can use a base layer that is not too bulky. The jacket would also benefit from the use of a 2-way zipper because the length is at or a bit lower than the hips. A bit of ease with a 2-way zipper would be very nice. I chose the navy blue and am pleased with the color. Looking forward to wearing it during an upcoming camping/hiking trip to northern Michigan.
This summer has been quite rainy for the area I live in, so after countless times of being caught in the rain, I decided it was time to invest in a rain jacket. This one did not disappoint! I love that I can fold it into its pocket, so I can just keep it in my Patagonia tote bag that I bring to work for whenever it starts raining out of no where. T... Read Morehis thing keeps me so dry! I also love the arm cuffs so I get that nice detailed fit. So invest, you will thank yourself when you get caught in that rainstorm!!
This was just what I was looking for. Lightweight easy to pack and fits over my warmer jacket if I need warmth. Haven’t had a chance to really use it in a heavy rain so I hope it doesn’t disappoint there.

Beautifully made, but way too tight at the hips
I could wear it with just a thin shirt,but I could never put on a sweater or sweatshirt and zip the jacket. I wear a size 6, ordered the small, I am not wide hipped, this is just unnaturally cut.
Thank you for this feedback, Suzanne. It sounds like some customers are finding it snugger than expected in the hips. We're sorry this was the case for you, but glad to see you've returned it. We hope we can help you get set up with something else you will love!

Nicely Made
Awesome jacket, it's made so nicely and it's a game changer with the armpit zips. The only thing is the sleeves are way too long.
I bought this to replace a VERY old Patagonia rain jacket with older waterproofing technology. Took it on a hike this weekend and had to pull it out for about 2 miles' worth of steady rain. I stayed perfectly dry. It is a tiny bit stiff and a little noisy, but for all the features and technology, I think it's worth it. I was torn between ...

I had borrowed a friend's Torrential jacket and really liked the features...the pit zips, the adjustable hood, high collar, zipper storm flap, and the light weight, to name a few.

A feature that would ease that issue would be to use a 2 way zipper especially given that the length is below the hip. Another feature that I noticed is that the fabric is a bit loud. Not sure if that has to do with the waterproof fabric. I am 5'9" and wear a Medium/8-10 in most Patagonia garments. The body and sleeve length cover well. I am very pleased with the blue color.
Great rain jacket if you want some sturdy. I got it for an adventurous trip to Iceland (lots of "don't mind the weather" hikes) and after the first day it already proved its worth. Kept me warm (but not stifling) and dry for a six mile hike in harsh wind and rain.

I bought this for a trip to Iceland. Love that it's light weight, has venting, and packs down to a small size. The hood fits well and isn't overly big. We were lucky and only had one day of light rain. The jacket kept me dry.
The cut of this jacket is wonderful because it covers the top of my pants (rain rolls right down and away), and is shaped so there is no bulk. The jacket is light, the wrists are widely adjustable for a custom fit, and I love the color.
Needed something that was truly waterproof. This did the trick! Might fit best for normal to tall people though.

Absolutely Beautiful Rain Jacket
My husband bought me this rain jacket in Evening Mauve for my birthday (77). My daughter advised him on the size, and it is perfect. My arms are a little short so I love the velcro wrist adjustment. I also love the cut of the hood. I can't wait for it to rain!
Perfect fit. Love the color. Actually keeps me dry. But my favorite part about this jacket is that I can put my hair in a puff and the hood still covers my head. It has taken me years to find a jacket that doesn't make it a pain to wear my hair curly.
This is my second Torrentshell jacket. My last one was close to 7 years old. I'm an avid walker in the Pacific NW so rain is always imminent. I sized up because I usually wear a vest underneath for added warmth when needed. I love that this jacket covers my hips and that this newer version uses a heavier fabric.

This jacket is fantastic! I lost my old rain jacket and had to buy a new one for a concert at Red Rocks that was supposed to rain all night. This jacket kept me so dry!

Read Moreh Patagonia. I have two complaints, I wish it had the double zipper. I have wide hips and hate going up to the next size because then my upper body is swimming in the jacket also an XXL was not available at the store I was at and I needed the jacket immediately. A double zipper allows me to unzip the bottom portion to accommodate my hips better. That leads me to my 2nd complaint, i wish the jacket flared out more at the bottom to cover the top of my bottom. I find Patagonia stuff is pretty straight and doesn't have much curve which is unfortunate for us curvy girls who want great gear. Curvy girls enjoy outdoor activities too and I think Patagonia can do a better job accommodating that. The quality of the jacket is superb, I just wish it had a better fit
I tried this on at the Patagonia store and really liked it. Wore it on one hike so far where it only ended up lightly sprinkling so I cant comment on the waterproof part just yet.

Using the Patagonia size chart I ordered a large - it was huge on me.

Cute and perfect for rain or wind
Very lightweight enough to layer up and still look cute. Doesn't make you look boxy/wide like other jackets but I would say to size up if you need more space for your hips.

The coat works great against the rain, however it's so tight on my hips, I can't properly wear it. It's probably a great jacket if you don't have hips, however if you do, I'd try a different brand.

Super Waterproof!
I wore this in a huge downpour while in Georgia and did not get wet at all. Super waterproof. I got a size larger to fit sweaters underneath and found it perfect :)
