"I recently bought a plus size Aspire 3L and it’s been a serious upgrade to my previous rain jacket. It’s really kept the water out during the rainy PNW spring, the material is super durable but not crazy heavy, and the side zippers for making the jacket breathable is a great touch. I do field work and I have no doubt that this jacket will do great while hiking through the car wash shrubs this summer."
