Canopy Jacket - Men's

Not Bad, Just Not in My Rotation

I like that this jacket folds up into a convenient storage pouch. I haven’t been able to use it much I have other items that seem to work better for the temperatures in my area. I thought it would be a good outer layer for fall or spring temps.

Great jacket, but not reflective.

This is a great jacket. Trim fitting, enough room in all the right places, very lightweight and packable. The only reason I did not rate five stars is because there are no reflective patches on it. I think that would be a nice addition. And the zippers could be a little more sturdy.

Worth the investment

This jacket is worth the investment. High quality weatherproofing makes it a perfect outer shell and I can layer under that to fit the conditions. Perfect for keeping out the winter wind and rain we get so much of where I live.

A quality jacket

A quality jacket that does all that it advertises, however it sits a bit short at the waist. An extra 3/4 to an inch of fabric would make it perfect.

great looking jacket with lot of pockets. it is useful for rainy/ windy days. For real cold it is not enough by itself, you have to layer it.

Great jacket but not waterproof and buttons could be reinforced

I waited until I had this jacket for at least a year and all 4 seasons to write a review. Overall, I like the jacket but there are a few things to note. Highlights: The jacket is lightweight, feeling almost papery thin. It works great as my primary running and XC ski jacket, and my everyday jacket in the fall and spring. I find it works as a perfect running outer layer over a sports tee in the temp range from ~25F to 45F and up through warmer temps for casual use. The fit is loose enough to comfortably layer an added longsleeve for colder temps but fitted enough that the silhouette is not baggy on my fairly thin "runners build". The hood and 3 zippered pockets are appreciated! The buttons under the main zipper are super useful for airflow if you start getting warm and they keep the jacket from flapping wildly around as you run. All running jackets should have these buttons. Cons: The buttons need to be more solidly placed. The long end is placed in fabric that is doubled back and works well. However, it's button partner along the zipper is simply placed through one layer of fabric and it ripped through the first time I unbuttoned it. You really need to hold tight along that button to prevent any damage when unsnapping. Some needle and thread worked to seal up the tear on my damaged button. Second, this is not a waterproof jacket. Curiously, I noted that web searches, including results showing products from the Brooks site, list it as waterproof but the actual product page on the Brooks site does not make this claim. At first, water beaded up and shed readily, but whatever coating or fabric magic did this wore off after a few months. Water soaks through fairly readily now in a decent rain.

Jacket weather?

My husband loves this jacket so much he had me order another. I have the women’s version and it’s a great, super light weight jacket that provides just enough protection and warmth when you aren’t sure if it’s jacket weather or not

Great looking and performing super light jacket

These are incredible lightweight jackets. Wearing them doesn't feel like you're wearing much but they handle the wind and light to medium rain very well. For my use, I cut off the long strap in the pouch on the back. It adds unnecessary weight, is visible through the jacket, and can be felt while the jacket is being worn. Easy enough to fix, and I'm sure there are people who appreciate the strap. Very clean looking jacket as well. The lowered part in the rear is nice. As near to a perfect jacket as I've been able to find. Hope they keep making them!

Extremely average, not as great as all the hype

I thought I would love this jacket, but it is too warm. Every time I wear it I end up taking it off and tying it around my waist. Because of this I wear it as a casual jacket but not for running. I thought the snaps in the front would provide airflow if jacket was unzipped, but the fabric doesn’t allow that and the snaps are cumbersome to snap and difficult to unsnap. The idea is great but execution fails. I am disappointed that I spent a lot of money for a jacket I rarely wear.

The Canopy Jacket has you covered! Perfect for the wet seasons!!

Absolutely love this jacket but it was so expensive I'm afraid to wear it!!! Will be really bummed when it's worn out and loses it's water repellent capabilities. I love it so much I bought a second one!! The hood is great but the real winner for me is the little snaps that let you unzip the zipper and not have it fall off my shoulders!! ALL JACKETS SHOULD HAVE THAT FEATURE!!!!
