SOLD: REI Taku rain jacket, men's XXL size, two-tone green, stretch Element's fabric. Measures 27" across the armpits, 31" from the base of the hood to the tail, and 37" from the center of the hood to the cuff; weighs 27.2oz on my scale. In excellent condition, with only light wear, BUT, there was a pin hole in the seam where it crosses the center of the left collarbone and rather than risk a trickle of cold water there, I put a dab of Silnet on the inside (see the photo with the pencil point). Everything else is really nice.
This is an excellent all-round rain shell. With the stretch fabrics it is more like a soft shell, but you get the 3-layer waterproofing (no insulation). Perfect for winter cold rain and snow conditions and those who like a tougher shell with good motion attributes. The original price was $219. This one is now $65 including US shipping and PayPal fees.
