Not a Rain vest but…

Ok, it’s not good in the rain but it is super cute, has plenty of pockets & the Lemon vest just puts a spring in my step.

not what I was hoping for

This is NOT a light weight rain jacket like the name would lead you to believe. It is a windbreaker. I wore it to walk my dog in a light drizzle and was SOAKED through immediately. If I were wearing this running, it would do no good. It is cute, but save your money for a better jacket if you want to stay dry.

No Rain Protection and Zipper Gets Stuck

Wore this in a light drizzle, and it was fine. Once the rain actually started, I was soaked through. The zipper gets stuck when zipping the external pocket which was very frustrating in the rain, and it also gets stuck when storing the jacket as a pouch. It is cute but doesn't breathe at all. I was wet and/or hot the entire time I was in it. This is the only disappointing product I have ever purchased from Oiselle.

Comfy! Not good in rain

I wore this on a run in a steady/heavy drizzle that turned into rain and I got soaked through (mostly on the arms). So it's definitely not waterproof at all! It did seem to work ok in the light drizzle. It was still very comfortable to wear in the rain, probably more comfortable than other tops. It kept me a perfect balance between cool and warm. And I think it's really cute!

Love it

Love this jacket for chilly/damp days. My only complaint is that the zipper on the pocket always gets caught on the fabric.

Cute and comfy as long as it doesn't rain

This anorak is super cute and stylish. I wore it recently while doing some trail maintenance in a light drizzle. I wore it over a flyte tank as the temperature outside was mild. It was very lightweight, soft, and I could stash things in the front pocket. Zipping the front pocket was odd, as the fabric repeatedly got stuck in the zipper and the zipper is only about 3/4 of the pocket. Things were going great on the trail and then we popped out to walk back to the car. Within about 800m I was soaked and the jacket was sticking to my skin and my shirt was wet, especially at the bottom since this jacket has a cute tulip type hemline. I was a bit surprised to be so wet. So, if you need a jacket to run in the rain, pass on this one. If you want a cute, stylish jacket for maybe a light mist this would be fine. I have to say the scrunchability and weightlessness is a huge plus for packing. I would throw this in a pack to put on to keep warm after a long run or ride, but not for rain. The zipper is annoying but now that I know it gets stuck, I'll be super cautious when opening the pocket. I think the sizing is flexible-I got a medium but a small would also be fine and less boxy (as in, I should have got a small but it's easier to have something too big than too small!). 5 stars on cute factor but functionality for a "rain shower" jacket is not up to par.

The perfect rain running jacket! It's not too hot, but gives some warmth when you need it for those in between spring runs. The front pocket is great, holds a lot but doesn't flop around a lot when you're running. I love it! I felt like it fit TTS.

BEST spring gear for the PNW

I didn't know what I was missing until I found the April Showers Anorak. It's perfect for EVERYTHING spring in the PNW -- super lightweight and breathable while still providing enough waterproof protection to keep me dry on rainy days. The front pocket is the perfect storage pocket for everything (gels, keys, a phone -- you name it, it fits). I keep this by the door and throw it on for chilly AM runs, dog walks, or errands. Can't imagine a more perfect design for versatile spring use.
