Is this jacket too warm for humid rainy summer days?

not sure about all these other answers, I've found it pretty useless even in not-so-warm days -- it's like being in a plastic bag, and I get condensation on the inside even with the armpit openings all the way open and in a light walk (not sweating). Pretty awful. It might be good in cold weather but it's too light weight for the cold. Not sure why they call it 'dry touch' either, and it certainly isn't 'breathable'.

It does get a little stuffy in weather like that, but as a single layer over a t shirt its fine. And unzipping the arm vents helps too.

i bought this jacket to endure the humid rainy season here in the Philippines. Lightwt material and pit zips make it perfect for my situation. Not too warm.

My husband is always cold, so for him no, but I am always to warm, so for me, I wouldn't want to wear it if the temp is 90 degrees out and humid, but otherwise it is a truly nice jacket, well made.

Not at all, it's actually great for days like that....enough protection so you don't get wet but not too thin so the humidity feels like its sticking to you. I've been very happy with it for just that purpose. For reference, I live in a humid midwest type climate so we get plenty of those hot humid days.

No, it's quite lightweight. I don't think you will find anything lighter. It could get a bit humid, but not anymore than other rain jackets.

I find this jacket is best when it is 25-40 degrees out. It blocks the wind nicely and if you pair it with a warm scarf/hat/gloves, you could probably get away with wearing it when it's under 20 degrees.

My husband uses it as a summer jacket. We live in the desert. It gets over 100 F

I haven't worn it in a downpour, but has been waterproof during a milder rain.

I would say yes. I didn't try it yet under heavy rain, but the fabric seems to be water resistant. However, the zippers might play a big role in this, by keeping it watertight.

I was wondering the same thing. I live in the jungle, where normal inside temp is around 85-90. Would that be considered a "cool, dry place"?

It's a little hot... but it works fine. I wear XL and this one fits too big. Hope this helps.

Haven't worn it in the rain but I washed it and the water beaded up on the fabric. It's good to about 85 degrees in the sun but if you want a pure rain hat the ventilation holes are going to leak after awhile. It's a good hat, I like it.

Yes it is. Wore it during light rain and all my gear remained dry. It's a great pack.

Sure, but if it rains, you will get wet. Also, I don't known if its fabric has UVA/UVB protection.

I believe it is to a degree. It fleece, but I typically wear it with a hood in the snow. I imagine you'd be fine unless you went out in the rain .

I would say it is because it's a windbreaker material. I have not been in the rain with it yet.

It appears to be. It's made from some sort of reinforced plastic. When fully zipped up, it gets hot and humid inside just like a greenhouse. I live in Florida. I have it in a corner on my screened lanai but it still susceptible to rainy days and I have not noticed anything inside getting wet from the daily thunderstorms we have here.

I've never used it in "wet/humid weather". I'm sure it'll dry quickly as it is very thin.

The material is lightweight, so it shouldn't be too bad in hot temperatures. However it doesn't breathe well like cotton fabric, so it could get sweaty.

It might have some effect when it's breezy but over all it's a fairly cozy jacket. Forty and windy, I would recommend a shell over it, you would be good to twenty then.

I'm not 100% sure but it would seem likely given the material...it seems fairly water proof to me. I've never worn it in the rain so that's why I say I'm not sure. My opinion would be it would work pretty good in the rain but perhaps not if one were to wear it in an all day rain.
