Hydro Packable Rain Jacket 2.0

wore the jacket today, for the first time on this miserable wet & rainy day. I work outside at a market. The rain went from heavy to mild to misty, to intense bouncing windy sheets of rain going sideways. The jacket handled itself well. I probably should've had a layer to put under it, for once it got into the 60's it was chilly. mind you it was 90° yesterday. The pictures taken are after wearing jacket 8 hours. I usually wear an XL I got the XXXL since previous reviews said to do that, and it fit nicely.

Just opened the box and I am pleasantly surprised. initial thoughts are: well made, nice material, very functional outside /inside pockets. The only drawback is (in my case 6ft/200lbs/36w/17.5neck/34insleeve) I ordered an XL which is to small and Montem is helping me exchange for an XXL. The Montem sizing chart did have my size at the upper end of the XL size so please take note and hopefully save yourself (and Montem) some exchange grief! I really like the look, material feel and believe it will serve me well on the trail (once upsized). I have not had a chance to stow the jacket inside the pocket. Stay tuned!

This jacket is PERFECT to go on a trip, it compresses and becomes very small and fits everywhere. It is light and waterproof. 100% RECOMMENDED, I want it in all colors (red and black).

I needed a raincoat for my active lifestyle. This raincoat is perfect for running during drizzle/light rain. I would get soak and wet when running outside and just wearing a sweater. Now I wear this raincoat and stay dry on top layers. Is a perfect fit while wearing two layers underneath. I recommend this raincoat/jacket for active lifestyles such as running, hiking, etc.

Your website clearly states that the "Hydro Jacket compresses into its own inner pocket to roughly the size of your palm," with zero instructions! Customer service sent an instructional video but it only shows packing it into its own hood, which is okay, but not what is described. I'm happy with the price. I haven't had a chance to use the jacket yet.

I have had my jacket since 2019. It has been on many hikes I have used it as a wind and rain jacket for biking in Netherlands, Spain, Portgual , Germany, France and Luxenburg. It has never let me down in all this time. It kept me dry and warm against wind and rain. I love it.

My husband and I tested out our new rain jackets that fold into their own pockets this past weekend on a very rainy camping trip 4 weeks before our trip to Ireland and they work perfectly! Nice big pockets protect our phones and even a sizable back up charger too. Very well thought out and indispensable.

I loved the design and it soon became my most packable travel jacket (of at least 7 in the closet--hey, I'm 73 and still run outside . . .), but when the pocket zipper failed (no trauma or accident, it just quit working correctly), it was out of warranty. I send it in anyway, hoping it could be fixed. Today, I decided I liked and missed the jacket enough that I went to order and pay for a new one. But it's not available in XL or L in blue, and I tried the other colors but they were sold out, too. So, if you're a small or XXXXL or whatever the other remaining size was, buy it and treat the zipper gingerly. If you're the Montem quality control or PR folks reading this, please keep making jackets like this because they are really nice when they work!!

A perfect rain jacket

It seems pretty well made. It says no iron. No tumble dry. Not sure how to get all those wrinkles out.

I love everything about my Hydro packable 2.0
As always Montem quality is excellent

Customer Service was very helpful.

We received our second rain jacket recently, and while it was your smallest version, it was still much too large for my wife, even with all the cinches drawn. However, it covers her amply, and her old rain jacket is in tatters, so we kept it. Meanwhile, mine works wonderfully. I wore it for a hike in a downpour yesterday, and it kept me wondrfully dry.

Kept me dry in the rain! Live the chest pocket for the phone and the pit zips!

Really comfy

Amazing, confy

Does what its supposed to, keeps me dry with minimal bulk!

Great jacket and price!

I hike in Adirondacks often. Like most backcountry areas it can be unforgiving.
This time.of year you need a reliable wind and water jacket. I just found the perfect one. Montems Hydro rain jacket. Light, comfortable and tough.
I highly recommend this jacket.

…but you asked, and I give my new Montem rain jacket five stars for form, even though I haven’t worn it in the rain to rate function yet.
Still, this jacket does everything I wanted: it’s incredibly light, it packs down to a size that fits in your hand, and it repels water easily (I stuck my arm in the shower.).
I’ll update this after I’ve had a chance to test it out in the rain!

I ordered XXXL , perfect fit for me. I am Six two 170 feels great, when the weather hits I am ready 💪😎

Overall a great jacket for the money. The only downside was the shipping which was 5-7 days but ended up being more like 8-10 days plus a holiday for Columbus Day.

Great product! I wish I knew how to wad it up like the ad does! But it will be my go to! Very high quality garment!

. . . it is exactly what I hoped for. Lightweight, foldable, and very protective, great for travel or keeping the car for those "surprise" moments.

As recommended go a bigger suze for a hoodie or sweatshirt

Easy to carry and performs well. After you learn how to fold it, it packs well in your backpack.

Started the Coast to Coast walk in rain and wind. Perfect jacket did its job. Plus it’s light and packable too

I like the jacket. Runs small.
