A near-perfect top layer to block wind and water, the lightest I've ever touched. I carry it stowed on most runs these days in case I guess wrong about layering needs in the highly variable northern Virginia winter weather. The zippers are a little fussy and not easy to engage when wearing thick mittens or with cold hands. I guess that's the tradeoff for a waterproof zip. So far, I've had comfortable protection when running in 35 degree rainstorms and 20 degree windstorms. Like all hooded jackets there is significant and distracting swooshing noise in my ears when running with the hood up; not sure if that's the jacket rubbing itself or perhaps my glasses or hydro pack.

I'm glad I ordered the M in this jacket: I need the room for my hydration pack which has two front soft bottles and a water bag in back for longer runs. The two-zip design works as advertised for access and heat-dumping. I would have preferred red, more visible in the winter, but the brightly saturated blue is attractive enough. Unrelated to this product: all center-zip tops should have two-way zippers. Period. It's important to mitigate fit issues around the hips and to permit flexible heat dumping. Why does Patagonia not get this? And, if I could only find a product that keeps my nose warmer without causing my glasses to fog...

I wanted to like this jacket. It's super light with taped seams and zippers. The design sounds like a great idea in theory: dual zippers for bottle access and ventilation. It just doesn't work. First, I don't understand the comments about it running small or the slim fit. I wear a Large in everything and this jacket is on the larger side both in room and length. It's longer than a standard running jacket and easily fits over a pack. However, I would never wear the jacket for anything but running with a pack underneath. The dual zippers and bottom snap make it unusable for any other purpose. The neckline is too high and as soon as you unzip both sides, the hood starts to fall back on your shoulders and will flop around when running.

The single bottom snap leaves a large open gap at the bottom of the jacket; why did they not add a velcro tab or another small snap? This jacket might work for hiking but not for running. If it had a single zipper, it would serve multiple purposes and I would buy it. As-is, I had to return it.

I purchased this jacket in the hopes of finding a waterproof upgrade to my houdini. Initial impressions were positive: the jacket was light, nice feeling materials and promised to be waterproof. Shortly after purchasing I noticed 1/3rd of the way up from the bottom zipper there was a hard crease in the zipper that made the jacket "pucker" outwards, causing the bottom front of the jacket to raise slightly above my belt. This zipper crease matched with how the jacket was folded for shipping. I went to the local Patagonia store and found the same problem on the rest of their black Storm Racer stock. They assured me this was a normal crease in the zipper and could be steamed out. Over time this still would not go away.The second issue was that the zipper would catch ... MoreI purchased this jacket in the hopes of finding a waterproof upgrade to my houdini.

Not a deal breaker but slightly annoying over time.The biggest issue, however, came when using the Storm Racer on a light hike in the rain in New Zealand. After the low exertion, flat terrain hike, the jacket had leaked through the shoulders. After realizing it wasn't my own condensation I then had to resort to using a poncho for the rest of my trip.Maybe these issues are not typical for the majority of Storm Racer owners but it ultimately made me have to return mine. Patagonia still makes quality gear and I will continue to search for the perfect lightweight rain jacket.

When I tried on my Storm Racer for my wife, she immediately said That is just like my breastfeeding tops. With its dual sided zipper configuration, it does give access to my front water bottles. And the dual zipper system gives it a cool look that I would say is fashion trendy. As for function it is great. I have already worn it in 40+ mph winds on the top of Mt Humphreys and in the rain in the Grand Canyon. It kept my dry and warm, and when the weather changed, I could zip it all the way down to keep cool. It performed perfectly in both cases, providing just the right combination of light weight and functional performance. Highly recommend it.
I am not a runner. I bought this for disc golf tournaments. I need a rain proof jacket that is breathable, and isn't restricting or bulky. This jacket worked really well. Really like the double zipper so you can open the front up for extra ventilation. Held up well so far, including hiking Mt Diablo during the Jan 2023 rains in California!
I have been trail running in this jacket for about two months now in the Pacific North West in the Cascades. I also use the Slope runner running vest that works well with this jacket. Some key points on functionality.Fit: provides plenty of room for extra layers and a running vest packed with water, food, extra layers and gloves. Also allows for carrying poles on the vest.Ventilation: the dual zips allow for venting and as you lower them it allows flow around your arm pits venting heat and moisture appropriately. Better than I expected and even bett than other jacked I own with pit zips. Bottom snap locks things down and glad they opted to not have a draw string as this just gets in the way. It could use a second snap to lock down even further. I like the longer ... MoreI have been trail running in this jacket for about two months now in the Pacific North West in the Cascades.

It could use a second snap to lock down even further. I like the longer lengths as it keep me warmer. It could be an inch or two longer to further promote warmth and also allows water to drip below my shorts that are under my Houdini Pants. I find it easy to take off and put back on multiple times To regulate my body temperature and sweat during my running adventures.Zippers: they are long a very easy to access except if you are wearing gloves that I find a requirement when running in the cold, rain and snow. I modified the zipper pulls to include a small plastic washer I created after cutting the bottom off an orange plastic wire lock. Works great now that I can grab the zipper with gloves or even mittens over my gloves.Packability: it packs down super small and easily stuffs in the back of my Slope Runner vest.Waterproofing: so far it works great to shed water and keep me dry. Better to use your hood early when it starts to pour buckets. I where a hat with a brim to help keep water off my face since the hood does not have a built in visor .Been running trails for 25 years under many diverse conditions and this jacket has the features I find better than anything else in my poor weather arsenal for traveling light and fast. Definitely worth a close look for the discerning trail runner.
Just arrived at the suggestion of PatagoniaPgh Employee when i mentioned that i love their gear during mountain ultras.Seemed Impossible that my hydration vest with loaded gear (tried both my Salomon Sense Ultra 5 and AdvSkin 12) would fit under this jacket-emergency jacket And not have it be too tight—works like a charm. Upon arrival i figured it would be too small with my vest underneath but this works perfectly for both vests mentioned on the two runs that I’ve worn the jacket. A size up, medium would be too big as theirs plenty of room for your vest with no flapping during running flats-inclines-declines. Also note that i used the Salomon bite straws that raise the amount of room under the jacket and had zero issues with chafing in a torrential downpour that ... MoreJust arrived at the suggestion of PatagoniaPgh Employee when i mentioned that i love their gear during mountain ultras.Seemed Impossible that my hydration vest with loaded gear (tried both my Salomon Sense Ultra 5 and AdvSkin 12) would fit under this jacket-emergency jacket And not have it be too tight—works like a charm.

Lightweight, didnt wet out in Iceland, great zippers, no pockets.I just traveled Iceland with this and loved it. The hood is a wonderful shape, the zippers work very well, and you can protect your lips from wind burn.If I could add to he jacket it would be an anorak style pocket in the front, and a self-cinching band in the back lower hem.Otherwise its a great jacket and Ill be testing it as a winter lightweight shell.
Thank you Patagonia Pittsburgh for the advice with this new jacket!I hate being wet because it just leads to being cold on the trail. Perfect waterproof jacket for mountain ultras to keep all of your gear dry and covered and unpacks/folds in 15secs from pouch to complete cover.Currently running in a UltraSense5 and AdvSkin12 hydration packs by Salomon and this jacket covers both packs fully equipped (minus poles for tearing reasons) with bite valve extender straws in place on the hydration chest bladders...still room to be comfortable without the jacket blowing around like a tent flap that wasn't pegged down or a piggy in a blanket.Testing...two runs in the jacket and worked well shielding the loaded pack from 28* temps with sleet and and snow.

i love this jacket. its super water proof and the zippers allow for a lot of breath ability. however the stuff sack pocket in the hood has already started to unravel pretty much rendering it useless. a repair will only last for so long in the spot that its in. a zipper pocket would have been a much better design. there's a perfect spot for one on the left side of the jacket where the zipper ends. i will still use this because i love the weight but dang i wish that didn't happen.
