Recently wore this during an extended stay in the mountains of Papua New Guinea, and it did everything I expected it to. It kept me dry in some serious rain and was quite comfortable while doing so. The pockets are huge and don't get in the way when wearing a harness. The hood is large enough to accommodate a helmet but can be adjusted so it fits just fine when you're not.

I would recommend this product.

Just got this jacket a few days ago. I've taken it through excessively windy hikes and through snowy conditions, and I can already tell this is my new favorite jacket!
Soft to the touch (not like other 'trash-bag-like rain jackets) and never overheating, yet never bitten by the wind either!

My only complaint (if you want to call it that) is that it runs SHORT. Being 6'2", a size Large is able to cover my back well and holds snug agains me (while wearing a sweater underneath), but doesn't sit much lower than my belt-line...
I can't say I'll be riding my bike in the rain with this thing on, unless I want my back dripping wet.

Other than that, it's an excellent jacket for any activities where you're upright and not stretching out too far.

I would recommend this product.

Jovian jacket testing

jovian

Hello!

I tested this jacket for 4 days in Macedonia and here is my quick conclusion. This damage happen in 2-4 hours easy walking in heavy snow with backpack on me. It was a new Deuter backpack with good straps. Outer material get rugged after this walking really badly. Please see pictures. I am really in doubt if this jacket is really so good as MH says. Really disappointed in MH quality.

Outer and interior material get really wet when hiking so I really have a doubt if this dryq works in waterproof area. It breath really well because I can stay in jacket in room quite a long before I get hot. If I would do this with goretex it is no way I can hold that long.

See picture of how external material get wet (also inside and it was not my sweating inside!!!) see damage of a jacket after few hours of walking with it. Jacket was new, never washed!!!!!

This jacket is great for everything. The new fabric works really well. Its breathable and also repels water nicely. I walked for hours in the rain and stayed dry from the inside out and also from the outside in. Its great for daily alpine missions and long expeditions when you need to rely on your gear for multiple days

I was looknig for a all around, do it all, light weight shell and the Jovian hit it right on the bullseye! Ultralight and strong. So far this is my new favorite jacket for everything this season. It breaths well with heavy activity and is keeping me dry on those soggy days. Volumous hood to fit over a helmet for those super windy ski lift rides.

The most breathable jacket I have used, totally waterproof and looks great. Does run a bit small in the arms meaning difficult to get gauntlets under cuffs. If this is an issue check out the Victorio jacket which has a more generous cut to the arms.

No match for Ecuador!

Just returned from Ecuador's volcanoes and took the Jovian as my shell. I am at a crossroads with my gear in that I am trying to reduce my loads and the argument between soft shell / hard shell ALWAYS seems to come up in my group...more on that later. The Jovian found its way into my pack and here are my initial thoughts.
Size runs a tad on the small side. If you are reaching up over your head to place an ice tool, the jacket will lift on you. Also, there is not a ton of room in the neck when it is fully zipped and it was hard to unzip once all the way up. Had to take off my gloves to do this.
Pockets are good and out of the way of your harness. Hood was just the right size. We got hammered with weather from rain to lots of Sierra Cement type snow and the DryQ Elite was bomber! This of course is the most important reason for the shell and it did not disappoint! More later!

This jacket will blow your mind! It fits perfectly, it's incredibly light weight, completely waterproof and looks awesome! A great fit for alpine climbing, or for just around town. Very durable material too. I only wish it was a tiny bit warmer. But at 1lb 1 oz there's not much room for insulation! Still enough room to throw on a warm base layer with it. All around great jacket! Well done MH

I primarily purchased this as a backcountry outer shell, but as the season is still a ways out I figured I'd put it to use as my do everything shell. The seasons are changing here in Vancouver and as a bike commuter this time affords me ample opportunity test it's durability and 'weatherability'. Well..... I find it to be the perfect high-activity foul-weather shell. It sheds the torrential rains of the North Shore and handles my heat output on my daily commute. I can't wait to see if it helps out with the moisture laden air of the Coastal Range this winter -where last year- I had a difficult time adjusting my gear to deal with the variable climates I work in.
