A pleasant, lightweight jacket, although for this price I do have a few reservations. The hood doesn't have a drawstring, so in stronger winds it may slip off your head unless you zip it right up to your chin. There's also no loop for hanging it on a hook, but despite these small drawbacks the jacket serves well as a raincoat and fulfils its basic function.

Salewa Puez Aqua 4 PTX 2,5L Jacket - Dark Olive
Softshell jacket in Dark Olive, resistant to wind and water, is made from lightweight, durable polyester and features a Powertex 2.5L membrane. The material is additionally coated with a DWR finish (Durable Water Repellent), which increases water resistance. The construction is complemented by taped seams and a waterproof main zip. The regular fit provides adequate freedom of movement during activity.
polyester with DWR finish, taped seams, waterproof zip
The jacket is made from lightweight and durable polyester, of which 57% is recycled material. The outer layer is coated with a DWR finish (Durable Water Repellent), thanks to which water runs off the surface instead of soaking into the fabric. This solution also increases resistance to dirt and makes the jacket easier to clean. The construction also includes taped seams, which limit the penetration of water and wind, and a waterproof zip.
Powertex 2.5L membrane
The use of the Powertex 2.5L membrane provides water resistance at the level of 10000 mm water column/m2 and breathability of 10000 g/m2. The membrane also wicks moisture to the outside, increasing comfort during activity.
integrated hood, high collar, drawstring
The high collar with an integrated hood effectively shields the head and neck from rain and wind. The elastic drawstring with cord lock, placed at the bottom of the jacket, allows for a better fit, reduces flapping, and stabilises the jacket during movement. The cuffs are adjusted with velcro.
2 pockets
Two hip pockets hold handy accessories and are closed with zips.

DWR (Durable Water Repellency) is a durable waterproofing treatment that increases the surface tension of water and creates a hydrophobic coating on materials. It protects the material from rapid soaking, improves drying, provides stain resistance and increases breathability.
PowerTex is a windproof and waterproof polyurethane membrane with high breathability and high durability. The microporous structure prevents water from penetrating inside the footwear, while allowing moisture to drain efficiently from inside, leaving the foot dry.

A very light and comfortable jacket, perfect for cycling or various outdoor trips. When folded, it takes up very little space, so it is practically unnoticeable — ideal for everyday carrying in an EDC. Admittedly, it's not gore-tex, but it performs its function well in the rain.
