Is the Stryder Jacket Waterproof?
No — the Stryder is a wind-and-sun layer, not a rain jacket. It can handle very light drizzle briefly, but sustained rain will soak through.
Can It Handle Light Rain?
Light mist or a passing sprinkle, yes. For real rain, pair it with a waterproof shell — the Stryder's job is blocking wind and sun, not storms.
Stryder Jacket vs. a Rain Jacket — What's the Difference?
A rain jacket is waterproof with sealed seams; the Stryder is a breathable wind-and-UV blocker. Choose the Stryder for hot, windy, sun-exposed conditions where a rain jacket would trap heat.
What Size Should I Get?
The Stryder runs true to size with a fit designed to layer comfortably over a tee. Size up if you plan to layer over a midweight fleece.
