Is this jacket too warm for humid rainy summer days?

not sure about all these other answers, I've found it pretty useless even in not-so-warm days -- it's like being in a plastic bag, and I get condensation on the inside even with the armpit openings all the way open and in a light walk (not sweating). Pretty awful. It might be good in cold weather but it's too light weight for the cold. Not sure why they call it 'dry touch' either, and it certainly isn't 'breathable'.

It does get a little stuffy in weather like that, but as a single layer over a t shirt its fine. And unzipping the arm vents helps too.

i bought this jacket to endure the humid rainy season here in the Philippines. Lightwt material and pit zips make it perfect for my situation. Not too warm.

My husband is always cold, so for him no, but I am always to warm, so for me, I wouldn't want to wear it if the temp is 90 degrees out and humid, but otherwise it is a truly nice jacket, well made.

Not at all, it's actually great for days like that....enough protection so you don't get wet but not too thin so the humidity feels like its sticking to you. I've been very happy with it for just that purpose. For reference, I live in a humid midwest type climate so we get plenty of those hot humid days.

No, it's quite lightweight. I don't think you will find anything lighter. It could get a bit humid, but not anymore than other rain jackets.

The color hasn't run one me and I have had I t in all kinds of bad rainy weather. It should work great for you

Yes it is. Wore it during light rain and all my gear remained dry. It's a great pack.

I don't know about hot weather. I bought it for cold and it works out well. it does seem to be breathable if that helps.

My husband says that it holds the heat in the rain in fall and spring. He has never worn it in the winter. I have a Marmot as well and agree wholeheartedly. Our daughter also wears one and agrees with us. It is much warmer than any other rain jacket we have worn.

I live in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas so it gets pretty hot here, especially with humidity. It was pretty comfortable for me and I suspect it would be comfortable for anyone as long as they don't wear it while going commando and with an undershirt.

I live in a high desert climate but we do get the occasional rainstorm, some of them quite heavy. The inside has stayed dry so far.

No sweating here, but we live in a very dry climate. Is it humid where you are? That could be the problem.

This jacket is completely waterproof, even in a downpour, I stayed dry. It did get too warm. The underarm vents are great for that though!

I live in the Pacific Northwest... not too cold, but LOTS of rain. It is made out of water repellent canvas (not rubber)and quilted material underneath, so unlike the former respondent... I'd say, "Yes, it IS breathable", or it'd be WAY to warm to wear in our mild winters. I like this coat, and bought a second one so the first one can dry out on rainy days.

I haven't worn it in the rain but it says it repels water. The feel of the material on the outside would also lead me to believe that it would be rainproof

My son says they are perfect for hot and humid weather. He is in the middle east.

Well, from what I have seen when my wife wears this, it holds the style pretty much unless it is outrageously extreme with humidity, like over 80%. I hope this answer helps you.

I haven't worn it in a downpour, but has been waterproof during a milder rain.

Yes! I was running errands in the rain all day today and the fabric held up beautifully. It's tightly woven, thus making it naturally water-resistent

I've never used it in "wet/humid weather". I'm sure it'll dry quickly as it is very thin.

It's not listed as waterproof but I would wear it in the rain, just makes sure the vents are closed.
