As with all my other NRS product reviews I'm recommending this paddlers jacket. It clearly hits the mark on it's designed purpose. It allows uninhibited range of motion , laughs at rain/splash ( you will stay dry ) looks great on the water & feels great under your PFD. The punch through cuffs do their job of preventing any water from seeping in and the half zip allows ventilation if your temp goes up. I paired this with my NRS Endurance paddlers pants for a perfect combo that looked nice & kept me dry no matter how hard it rained on me. I do wish it had another pocket or two but the ones provided on the sleeves are great for stashing away a few kind bars or some beef jerky, that's why I'm giving the four and half star rating. Needs more pockets!! . The hood fits over a wide range of hats or helmets . I do have a longer torso and I am on the taller side at 6'5" and around 212 lbs so I got mine in XXL for anyone who wants to know about fitting.
