Sizing Information:
You’d want to buy a jacket in the size you’d normally buy men’s clothes (like your tee shirt/jacket size). The jackets are made slightly taller and larger than standard with the idea you’d be able to wear them over a jacket without having to choose a larger-than-normal size. The chart below gives an estimate of actual measured size. You could choose a jacket size by measuring your chest with your gear on.

The Splash jacket matches the Splash Pants (see link below) to form a good 2 piece rain suit. This is a simple nylon rain jacket that seems to be well constructed. I like the material used. It’s not overly-plastic feeling and it doesn’t make too many swishy noises when you are moving around. The jacket has three pockets for storage including a waterproof chest pocket and two hand-warmer pockets. The chest pocket looks like it would work well for storing items that may be damaged by rain, but the hand-warmer pockets use a Velcro closure that I wouldn’t trust to keep all of the water out. There is an elastic strap at the waist of this jacket and a draw cord at the base of the jacket that can be tightened for further protection from the elements.
