3L Element Proof Rain Jacket Caza

If you are looking for a completely rainproof outer shell, the 3L Element is it. I use it for hunting miserably wet western Oregon with layers underneath. All other “rainproof” jackets and pants I had PREVIOUsly invested in eventually left me wet with this exception of 3L ELEMENT. They worked so well for four seasons and we’re still mostly water proof even after tracking a large buck through messes of blackberries raspberries and devils club. The 3L held up pretty well to the constant punctures they encountered but were certainly failing as far as waterproof ability. So, i purchased a new set that I will use in years to come. I love them so much I even purchased a set for my son. Great to use a a rainproof shell and layering other clothes underneath. Also easily packable during dry times. These are an expensive investment but will appreciate them!

Sat in a severe thunderstorm for 1 hour and these are my take away
- Stayed dry besides the water that ran down the brim of the hood onto my chest (see pics)
- You feel wet/cold even though you're dry, wear a base layer
- I would not take this jacket any where near prickers/thorns
-Slightly noisy, wouldn't wear on a calm day

I recently set out to tackle 50 miles of backpacking in the Colorado Rockies and Pnuma 3L element was my choice. I’m so glad I chose pnuma as over the course of 7 days and nearly 70 miles I face mountain down pours and snow everyday. Literally the first 24 hours was non stop rain and snow. Dry, completely dry not a drop even in the strap and pressure spots got through. I know my buddy wishes he had chosen Pnuma!

Full disclosure, I haven't worn it in significant rain. However as a lightweight jacket/shell I think it may be my new favorite. It provides just the perfect amount of warmth against wind chill while providing great mobility and comfort. Love it.

I’ve worn the 3L (Top & Bottom) through two tsunami like days in the backwoods of WI...Both occasions, incredibly dry. Literally soaked, and after removing the outter layers thrilled to be completely dry. Very light garments. Hood form-fitting. Great rain gear.

Love both my pant and jacket set. I have used it in rain and snow and it keeps you dry. It is not too noisy and does the job well.

Took the new rain suit out for a test run this past weekend. I wanted to "know" how/if it worked prior to "needing" it to work. With a good, steady rain predicted I headed to check trail cameras and test the suit. I wore the suit over my Tenacity pants and Rogue t-shirt. The pants were loose, yet comfortable. Should fit nicely over my Waypoint pants. The jacket was a little big, but that was to be expected as I figure it will fit well over my Waypoint jacket. Great seams and zippers. My favorite features are the adjustable waist & wrists. Will come in handy with different weight undergarments & gloves. I wear large in all my Pnuma gear. The rain suit is no different. The camo speaks for itself. Not cheap, but worth its weight in gold if you can stay on the hunt and ride out the storm.

I’ve got the 3L top and bottoms, first these are not a super light rain gear to have in hot weather. I just mention that incase that’s what you reading this is looking for, in exchange these will keep you 100% percent dry, untouched from the wind, and comfortable, sitting or stalking. The pants are easy on and off as a shell or are capable of being worn alone, the jacket has armpit vents and a very well sized hood for protection while not being in the way. And my favorite part is the camo pattern absolutly disappears in wet environments, and silent, you can turn into a ghost in the storm.

Wore Pnuma gear on a recent hunt to newfoundland. The weather was mostly very nice but needed rain gear a couple times. Love this stuff ,fits good keeps me warm and dry

I ordered a whole bunch from Pnuma and I'm forever a fan now. Quality and craftsmanship seems to be top notch along with the fit. Love it!

As someone who hunts in all seasons and conditions, I need gear that holds up.

I’ve worn it in everything from light drizzle to full-on downpours, and it’s kept me dry without overheating thanks to solid breathability. The zippers are high quality and haven’t failed after repeated use, and the fit allows for layering underneath without feeling bulky. I appreciate the quiet fabric—no loud crinkling—which makes it great for hunting in close quarters.

One of the standout features is the packability. It compresses down well and fits easily in a pack, making it easy to bring along just in case the weather turns. The hood design is also dialed in—adjustable, stays put in the wind, and doesn’t obstruct peripheral vision.

If you spend long days outside and need reliable rain protection that won’t weigh you down, this jacket earns its spot in the lineup.

The fact I paid almost $300 dollars for this jacket and I see it now and it's $150 for exact same jacket and wonder why I am paying so much for it.

Arrived quick and the fit was true to size. Ordered XL top and bottom for 6'/220 lb frame and both proved worthy while building a hog pen in a torrential downpour for several hours.

Awesome I recommend

Jacket is descent. Definitely quiet and does pack up fairly small. Did notice that the cuffs and waist hem tended to wet out a bit after prolonged days of use in the rain. Other than that it worked great.

Just like LL Beans in Maine overpriced for an imported product. Great jacket wish it was made by American workers, support your home

I bought this jacket after reading about it in Recoil Magazine.

My favorite part about this jacket is I will never need another one. I bought in the Beluga color so I can wear it on the range, work and to functions. Superb in quality, durability and neatly ergonomic-al. Thank you Pnuma.

Love this jacket. Great fit. True to the description. Worn it hunting and fishing in Tennessee and Georgia. Spring, summer, and fall. Does not feel like a rain jacket at all, but works better than any I’ve ever owned. Highly recommend.

I have never liked rain jackets. This jacket changed that for me. I sometimes wear the 3L Element even when it isn't going to rain.

I'm amazed at this thing--fabric has a really soft hand, no plasticky feel at all, and totally quiet as a result, but waterproofness is flawless even in downpours. Still gets hot when you're really exerting yourself but breathes better than others I've had. Huge bonus points for tall sizes that really are TALL. If something happened to mine I would immediately buy another.

Awesome

The jacket is awesome, great fit and finish, quiet and waterproof. Perfect.

Excellent product, will always be pnuma fan.

Well made with great material. Fit is pretty good but it seems to be made to accompany a bino harness which is good when wearing one, but leaves it a bit baggy in the chest area when not. All in all great piece of gear, light, and comfortable.

I went by reviews I saw on YouTube before purchasing I’m not a hunter but I wanted a rain jacket and pant reminiscent of m81 woodland and that was the selling point for me solid jacket feels very comfortable I’m about 5:7 and I got a xl tall bc I like having extra length and the fit is perfect

Very well designed & fabricated. Materials are wind & rain proof, yet comfortable.
Excellent product!
