Looking at getting a new hardshell rain jacket. I currently use a thin rei and Columbia jacket but it is not durable and doesn’t hold up in heavy rain. I get a discount with Kings and their paramount jacket looks like it will be perfect at half the cost of the kuiu jackets I was looking at. Anyone recommend the kings paramount?

Does the jacket have pit zips?
No the jacket does not. It’s about the only thing it is missing but for $100 it’s very nice quality. The pants do have side zips if you buy the set. Tried them for 5 minutes in the shower and was completely dry.

ordered the set this last night thanks to this thread. Already shipped. Seems to be lighter and more packable than my Koldo set, so we'll see.

What size did you order and how is the fit? and what is your height/weight/build? Been wanting to get the set but just can't decide on which size.

I’m 6’2 about 225. I ordered xl in both the pants and jacket. The pants don’t have quite as much room to layer but can still make them work over my kuiu attack pants just a little snug. For the price on clearance I don’t think you can go wrong with them. I’m happy with them.

I received my order yesterday, not disappointed. Xl pants L jacket, 6'4 200lbs and while I prefer my jackets to be LT, this fits pretty well and room to put pants over whatever I am wearing at the time.
