8Speak softly, step lightly, and dress sharp. The Urbane Jacket fuses waterproof/breathable technology with clean, moto-inspired design to set a higher standard for performance, style and sustainability.
I bought this jacket for its light weight, packability, and purported resistance to wind and water. I'm nearly pleased with it altogether, but I experienced the sleeves letting in a lot of water when my hands were up or holding a phone or umbrella. I had a friend reduce the size of the opening by adding two more snaps... Nau should redesign with velcro for better adjustment.

I love this jacket. I fell in love with it long ago. Unfortunately, those amazing taped seams that keep the water out of pockets don't hold up to the durability of putting a lot in your jacket. Trust me, you'll never look better than in this- lots of people will want your jacket. Just be careful if you're someone who likes to walk around with his hands in his pockets like me.

The design of this coat is beautiful. I have the blue coat and I get a lot of compliments. Its fit is on the smaller, tailored side. It has a more stylish fit, rather than a technical, wide range of motion fit. I never overheat in this jacket. It is ideal for the relatively mild temperatures of the Pacific Northwest. If you spend a lot of time in the snow, I would recommend a warmer jacket. Although rain resistant, if you get caught in heavy rain for a significant amount of time the water will start to soak through. Do not get this jacket if you want a rain jacket, you will be disappointed.

Nau's gear that fits "regular" is just too big for an athletic/lean medium.
This is another jacket that looks amazing but was just too big on me.

This jacket is one to certainly have in your collection. It is lightweight, fashionable, yet durable and just enough warmth for a brisk day or evening. I love the various pockets, both inside and out.

This jacket is a great rain jacket or casual hiking jacket or even a bike jacket. The Material is very tough and the fit is just how i like it, not too tight but with clean tailored lines. The Jacket transitions seamlessly between outdoor hikes and urban hangouts. People are always giving compliments to me on the jacket. I have the coffee color which was one of the original colors.

For years I was searching for a functional "non-technical looking" rain jacket that would fit into a professional workplace environment. This is THAT jacket! It is at home in both the boardroom and the back-country. Bravo NAU!!!
