It\u2019s one of our go-to rain jackets and all-time favorites. From 150-day thru-hikes of the CDT including torrential downpours, high-alpine blizzards, and drizzly fall weather, to trips skiing, camping, and hiking the local trails, this jacket is a durable, affordable workhorse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Torrentshell features laminated triple-layer construction that makes it protective in sustained rain, but still feels impressively lightweight on your body. The hood is adjustable and features a large visor to keep the rain out of your eyes and off your face, but it also rolls away easily with a cord and hook when not in use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a rain jacket, the Torrentshell is cozy. A soft microfleece lining at the neck adds a soft-to-the-touch feel and wicks away moisture with ease. This jacket has two hand warmer pockets as well as storm flaps &#8211; overlapping material that covers the main zipper and pit zips to help you stay dry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though it\u2019s a bit bulky, the Torrentshell still packs down small into the left hand warmer pocket and comes with a convenient carabiner loop so you can keep it easily accessible when the skies open up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only major complaint we have about the Torrentshell is its weight. At 14.1 ounces for the men\u2019s version and 12.4 ounces for the women\u2019s, there are other jackets on this list that are better suited for long-distance trips where shaving pack weight is important. So if you\u2019re considering the Torrentshell exclusively for backpacking, we\u2019d recommend other options on this list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though it\u2019s not as airy or compressible as some, we highly recommend it for adventures when stormy conditions are inevitable. The Torrentshell is a versatile, reasonably affordable, and very durable jacket that we recommend for all-around use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>More: <\/strong><a

Beta (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rei.pxf.io\/c\/2536211\/1448521\/17195?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rei.com%2Fproduct%2F235112%2Farcteryx-beta-sl-jacket-mens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span

400;\">women\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) is a top choice for its superior waterproofing. From the rigors of everyday on-off wear to keeping you dry in the gnarliest, wettest rainstorms (or even alpine blizzards), this is the only shell you\u2019ll need for staying dry in nasty weather.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re undeterred by extreme wet conditions, the Beta SL jacket is for you. This model\u2019s three-layer Gore-Tex fabric sheds water easily and feels durable in heavy rain, sideways sleet, and whipping snow &#8211; and the newly redesigned Beta is now produced without PFAS, which translates to less pollution during production and a more mindfully-made jacket. The drop hem at the back effectively directs and sheds water away from your body as you move. We also appreciate the ergonomic, oversized zippers that are easy to grasp even with bulky gloves on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Beta SL stands out for its dialed-in design: the fabric feels impenetrable, but the fit is roomy enough at the shoulders and elbows to move naturally with you. We find this athletic construction performs admirably on the toughest alpine days where every detail matters. CleverHiker Gear Analyst, Ian Krammer, has used this jacket as his go-to shell to climb hundreds of 13,000-foot Colorado peaks in frigid winter conditions and has also used it in soaking July thunderstorms while climbing in the Rocky Mountains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also love the hood design of the Beta SL. Its high internal collar blocks wind and rain by locking in snugly under the chin, and helps retain a bit of extra warmth in cold, pressing wind. The overlapping hood adjustments fit precisely and snugly around your face, and the wide visor keeps even driving, sideways rain at bay. The hood is helmet-compatible, but it doesn\u2019t feel floppy on its own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest downside of the Beta SL is its price tag. It hurts. This is one of the most expensive jackets we\u2019ve ever tested. The Beta is also bulkier compared to other options on this list \u2013 it doesn\u2019t pack down well, and this model certainly isn\u2019t the lightest out there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, heft is a small con in the face of serious storms, and this is the jacket our team trusts most in severe rain and snow conditions. The Beta SL is worth the investment for those who need a rain jacket that will last season after season of hard use in wet to snowy weather. If you\u2019re on the hunt for a technical rain jacket that can truly do it all, this is the one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>More: <\/strong><a

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">women\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) earns a spot at the top of our list. This jacket offers some of the best ventilation on the market, top-tier wind and rain resistance, and a stylish cut. CleverHiker Managing Editor, Ben Applebaum-Bauch, has used the Foray on dozens of day hikes from the iron skies of Michigan to the rugged high alpine of the Colorado Rockies. It\u2019s one of his go-tos for wet weather, and it continues to perform season after season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a jacket with breathability, the Foray and Aspire take ventilation to the next level. We love rain jackets with large pit zips for their breathability, but these Outdoor Research models have zippers that extend from the armpit all the way to the bottom hem. This versatile design allows you to completely unzip the jacket down your torso for extreme, poncho-style ventilation, or very precisely control how much airflow you want to keep your entire upper body cool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Details matter when it comes to performance gear, and the Foray and Aspire are no exception. A simple hood drawcord is well placed and easy to reach, and large hem drawstrings make micro-adjustments a breeze while on the move. We love that the Foray and Aspire\u2019s cuffs offer both elastic and large Velcro tabs for use with bulky gloves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We found the fit is a bit tight through the shoulders, so if you\u2019ve got a broad or wide build, you\u2019ll want to double-check sizing. And though this jacket is a little pricey, you\u2019ll be hard-pressed to find a better value for a relatively lightweight, super-breathable option. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the weather begins to turn and the skies open up, this jacket is a stellar option for staying both dry and well-ventilated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/backpacking\/outdoor-research-foray-aspire-ii-rain-jacket-review\/\">Outdoor Research Foray 3L \/ Aspire 3L Full Review<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"product-details__badge\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EditorsPick-RainJacket.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-post-image\" alt=\"The CleverHiker Editor&#039;s Pick Badge Logo with a rain jacket picture in the middle\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\n\n\r\n<div style=\"margin-block-start:0;

that\u2019s why it stays near the top. CleverHiker Gear Analyst, Heather Eldridge, has worn this jacket on hundreds of day hikes because the stretchy fabric is soft to the touch and gives a relaxed, unrestricted feel that\u2019s easy to move in. And thanks to the breathable fabric, the material is impressively quiet &#8211; you can actually hear what your friends are saying with the hood up!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ozonic has all the key elements we look for in a rain jacket: hand pockets, two-way hood adjustment, and pit zips, so it\u2019s great for just about any activity. We also love its low weight. At 10.9 ounces for a men\u2019s medium, the Ozonic is near the front of the pack, making it easy to carry, wear, and stuff away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, this Mountain Hardwear classic has a couple of quirks. We find the fit is a bit unusual: it\u2019s baggy through the torso and the sleeves are on the shorter side. However, the major advantage of this looser fit is that it\u2019s great for layering. If you love cooler-weather adventures where rocking a fleece and puffy is vital for comfort, you\u2019ll have no trouble fitting warm layers underneath the Ozonic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than anything, we reach for the Ozonic because of its outstanding comfort, trendy profile, and trusty waterproofing. This jacket will shield you from windy, misty mountain summits and downpours alike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>More:\u00a0<\/strong><a

the mountains. Weighing just under nine ounces, it\u2019s one of the lightest shells we\u2019ve tested, but it still punches above its weight in weather protection. Its 2.5-layer construction offers dependable resistance to wind and moderate rain while remaining impressively breathable during high-output climbs and hikes. The supple, quiet fabric feels comfortable even over a T-shirt, a rare trait among technical shells.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fit is trim but mobile, with room for layering underneath and a helmet-compatible hood that offers great protection without restricting movement. While the single chest vent can\u2019t match the airflow of pit zips, the material itself breathes well enough to keep you comfortable while pushing uphill. Durability is surprisingly solid for such a thin jacket. After bushwhacking through Alaskan brush and scraping across alpine granite in the Sierra, it showed little wear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Falketiend Dri1 offers enough protection for moving fast, but its 2.5-layer build doesn\u2019t quite compare to burlier construction in other jackets. Towards the top of our price spectrum, it\u2019s not an entry-level jacket. But if you\u2019re willing to spend the extra money, you\u2019ll be rewarded with one of the best balances of durability, weight, and weather resistance of any jacket we tested.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/backpacking\/norrona-falketind-dri1-rain-jacket-review\/\">Norrona Falketind Dri1 Full Review<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\n\n\r\n<div style=\"margin-block-start:0;

This is CleverHiker Founder, Dave Collins&#8217; go-to ultralight shell for backpacking and he\u2019s used it for thousands of miles, from the Grand Sawtooth Loop in Idaho to the Glacier Peak wilderness. Gear Analyst, Casey Handley, also loves the Versalite, and it kept her dry and well-ventilated on a very soggy 273-mile thru hike of the Long Trail in Vermont.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a truly airy shell to stay dry in short summer storms, this is the one. The men\u2019s Versalite weighs a jaw-dropping 6.4 ounces, and the women\u2019s is only 5.8 ounces. For perspective, that\u2019s approximately the weight of two protein bars. And, it packs down to a very small package &#8211; about 3 by 3 by 5 inches &#8211; so this model easily slips into any pack without taking up much space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite its incredibly low weight, the Versalite is as feature-rich as any jacket on this list. We love the three-way, super-adjustable hood and tall neck, the combination elastic and Velcro cuffs, and the extra long pit zips for dialed-in ventilation. The oversized hand pockets are higher up on the body to give unrivaled accessibility to pockets while wearing a climbing harness or thick backpack hipbelt, so you won\u2019t have to unclip your backpack while walking to reach your chapstick or phone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with most ultralight gear, the Versalite sacrifices durability. It\u2019s made with thin, featherlight materials, so you\u2019ll have to be more careful with it than you would with a burlier jacket. It is also a little more crinkly and noisy than others. That said, we\u2019ve been using this jacket for years without any notable issues and we think the dramatic weight savings makes it one of the best choices for long-distance backpacking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s on the spendy side, the Versalite is a very competitive price for a premium ultralight jacket. We highly recommend the Versalite to anyone who is looking for a minimalist layer with maximum functionality for a very low weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/backpacking\/montbell-versalite-rain-jacket-review\/\">Montbell Versalite Full Review<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"product-details__badge\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/EditorsPick-RainJacket.svg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-post-image\" alt=\"The CleverHiker Editor&#039;s Pick Badge Logo with a rain jacket picture in the middle\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\n\n\r\n<div style=\"margin-block-start:0;\" class=\"product-details__block md:pb-[1rem] wp-block-acf-product-detail\" id=\"xerocloud\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 product-details__wrapper md:grid-cols-2\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Row 1 -->\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-wrap md:col-span-2\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Featured Post Image -->\r\n\t\t\t\t<div\r\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"flex flex-col items-center justify-center w-full p-5 product_details__image basis-full xs:basis-2\/5 md:basis-1\/2 md:w-1\/2\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<figure>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/rei-xerocloud-3L.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"stock image of REI xerocloud 3L\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/rei-xerocloud-3L.png 700w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/rei-xerocloud-3L-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/rei-xerocloud-3L-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/rei-xerocloud-3L-60x60.png 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Product title, intro and attributes -->\r\n\t\t\t\t<div\r\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"flex flex-col w-full p-5 product-details__overview basis-full xs:basis-3\/5 md:basis-1\/2 md:w-1\/2\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"mb-5 tracking-tight text-32px\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tREI XeroCloud 3L\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"mb-4 italic leading-6 text-18px\">Best Durable &#038;

It delivers impressive protection, mobility and comfort all at an attainable price. This makes it perfect for entry-level hikers looking for a jacket that performs much higher than its price would suggest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Built with REI\u2019s 3-layer HydroWall fabric, the XeroCloud is tougher and more breathable than most jackets in its price range. During testing in Alaska\u2019s punishing weather, think 60 mph wind and driving rain, it held up without flinching. The stretch material moves well with the body, and the jersey-backed fabric is soft and quiet, which adds comfort when logging long miles in wet conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The XeroCloud is roomy enough for layering underneath, but it can feel a little baggy with just a base layer underneath. This makes it great for wearing in cooler weather, but it can often feel overly large and warm in hotter temperatures. Pit zips, sealed zippers, and a well-shaped hood round out the features and boost its performance in various conditions. The REI Xero Cloud 3L balances protection, comfort, and price to bring a high-value jacket that will keep you dry on many adventures to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/backpacking\/rei-xerocloud-3l-rain-jacket-review\/\">REI XeroCloud 3L Full Review<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\n\n\r\n<div style=\"margin-block-start:0;

If you\u2019re looking for a savvy all-around jacket for backcountry hiking, the Fineline is up for the task.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s full of simple details that give it exceptional value. The long pit zips help with ventilation and the stretchy Velcro cuffs make the jacket easy to use with gloves on. The helmet-compatible hood is simple to adjust, and the tall collar is excellent at keeping out drafts and drips. We also love the wide variety of colorways available for the Fineline &#8211; no matter your vibe, there\u2019s probably a color for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Fineline\u2019s material and fit are our favorite things about it. This model offers a regular-to-slim fit, with just enough stretch and gusseted armpits for mostly unrestricted big movements. The Fineline\u2019s aesthetic is sleek enough to wear out to dinner on a stormy summer night, or for keeping you dry while setting up your tent in a misty frontcountry site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this jacket is a bit further down the list largely because of its pocket design. We found the handwarmer pockets are a bit shallow, and positioned too low to access with a backpack or harness on. This model also doesn\u2019t include a chest pocket.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, the Fineline is a highly functional and attractive jacket that packs easily into an impressively small package for portability. Because of the thoughtful design and the affordable price point, the Fineline is one of the most well-rounded rain jackets on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>More:\u00a0<\/strong><a

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">women\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) has been a favorite of hikers, backpackers, and our team at CleverHiker for a long time. For only $100, this jacket offers a stellar value: it\u2019s well-designed and balances light weight and weather protection. The Rainier has been one of our favorite jackets as a team over thousands of miles on trail, from day hikes in the Cascades to weeks at a time in the Colorado Rockies, and it has performed extremely well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Rainier covers all the basics and adds small details we love. Articulated elbows offer a better range of motion with layers on, there are two internal drop pockets &#8211; unlike many jackets, which have one (or none) &#8211; and the hood is adjustable with a large Velcro tab that\u2019s easy to manipulate even when your hands are wet and cold. Plus, it has pit zips and a practical drawstring hem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Rainier offers a slim but modern style, so it doesn\u2019t look out of place whether you\u2019re headed to the local brewery after walking the dog under dreary skies or backpacking on a stormy weekend. We appreciate that the newest version is a bit quieter thanks to a refreshed nylon blend, and the Rainier comes in an array of colorways, from brighter to muted and mellow for every style.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cons of the Rainier are few. At its price point, it\u2019s a little less durable than burlier models but we have gotten several seasons of use from different versions. It\u2019s also a bit cumbersome to stash into its own pocket, although it makes for a fairly compact package once all the material is collapsed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"#marmot-precip-eco\">Marmot PreCip Eco<\/a> is almost identical to the Rainier.

Despite its featherweight status, this shell performs: it provides excellent protection in pouring rain, but remains impressively breathable. CleverHiker Senior Gear Analyst, Casey Handley, hiked the first 400 miles of the Colorado Trail in one of the wettest springs in the last decade and appreciated its long length and durability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At about six ounces, the Vertice is in a league with the <a href=\"#montbell-versalite\">Montbell Versalite<\/a> and the <a href=\"#outdoor-research-helium\">Outdoor Research Helium<\/a>\u00a0for ultralight jackets. Like the others, this one packs up incredibly small, so it\u2019s ideal for long day hikes and thru-hikes where space and weight are the top priority.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The length of the Vertice is what sets it apart: this model is long enough to cover your bum, which is convenient when taking breaks on wet rocks or logs. It also means the seat of your shorts or pants won\u2019t bear the brunt of the runoff from your jacket, so you\u2019ll stay a little warmer when it\u2019s wet out, and hopefully dry a bit faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Vertice doesn\u2019t skimp on any details either: ZPacks includes long pit zips, simple drawcords on the wrists, hem, and hood, and a handy mechanism for rolling up the hood when storms pass. The Vertice is also one of the most breathable jackets on our list, so it won\u2019t cause you to overheat immediately when backpacking through the early afternoon rain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, the Vertice is built for function in the backcountry, not fashion in the city. It has a baggier fit, so it\u2019s best for larger body types and those who like a longer jacket. We also miss not having handwarmer pockets and the hood is a little floppy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like most ultralight gear, the Vertice is also on the spendy side, but if you want the best balance of low weight, crazy packability, and excellent coverage \u2013 this one is hard to beat. As long as you give it the care and attention it needs, the Vertice will last for thousands of miles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>More:<\/b> <a

rel=\"noopener\">women&#8217;s<\/a>) is a solid pick for those who want functional rain protection without spending big. It\u2019s the most affordable jacket in our lineup and delivers decent performance for its price. With a comfortable interior made from mesh and taffeta, the Trailmade feels softer and less plasticky than most budget shells, making it a great choice for casual outings, travel, or local hikes in light rain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At 15.5 ounces for men and 13.1 for women, the Trailmade is the heaviest and bulkiest jacket in our lineup. As to be expected for the price, it lacks the breathability and weatherproofing of higher-end models. The two-layer polyester construction and DWR finish handle short rain showers but quickly saturate in steady or heavy downpours. Without pit zips or adjustable cuffs, ventilation is limited, and the hood and storm flap design leave a bit to be desired in high wind or prolonged rain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where the Trailmade shines is in value and durability. The soft polyester shell resists abrasion and surprised us with its durability, even if its waterproof coating isn\u2019t.

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">women\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) is one of the most practical options on the market. While it weighs almost the same as the ZPacks Vertice and the Montbell Versalite &#8211; just over six ounces &#8211; it\u2019s less expensive and offers many of the same features.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CleverHiker Managing Editor, Ben Applebaum-Bauch, hiked the 3,000-mile Continental Divide Trail in this jacket and it held up well in most storms with plenty of room underneath for a lightweight down puffy. CH Gear Analyst, Heather Eldridge, also spent a week backpacking in Glacier National Park with this jacket and had no complaints &#8211; it kept both of them dry, comfortable enough, and it took up little space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Helium has a large chest pocket that makes access to small items easy and fast. This pocket is also the carrying case for the Helium, and it packs down into one of the smallest, most efficient packages on this list, perfect for backpacking and fastpacking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This jacket is fairly thin and will wet out faster than others in really heavy rain, especially where backpack straps sit. Also, the men\u2019s version doesn\u2019t have handwarmer pockets, which we\u2019ve found inconvenient on and off trail. This isn\u2019t a dealbreaker for us, but we\u2019d prefer the extra storage like the women\u2019s version &#8211; instead, we bring <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">waterproof gloves<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on cold, wet trips.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All-in-all, you cannot beat the price-to-weight ratio of the Helium. If keeping your overall pack weight low on long summer hikes is important to you, or you need a basic layer for cloudbursts and occasional summer storms, the ultra-packable Helium offers a stellar bang for your buck.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>More:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/apparel\/outdoor-research-helium-rain-jacket-review\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outdoor Research

class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left contained-content has-font-32-px-font-size\">How We Test &amp; Methodology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We measure the performance of rain jackets by examining their comfort and mobility, water resistance, ventilation, weight, and durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><strong>COMFORT &amp; MOBILITY<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand which rain jackets are the most comfortable for all-day wear while hiking, we take them out on hikes in a wide variety of weather conditions. We assess the fit and flexibility of the fabric blends, looking for a full range of motion without feeling restricted or encumbered. Specific elements like articulated sleeves, adjustable hoods, and stretchy materials are vital to enhance comfort and freedom of movement. Rain jackets with highly adjustable hems, hoods, collars, and wrists are at the top of this list and make for a customized fit that increases the comfort of the jacket around your body shape and size. Soft inner linings and ergonomic jackets are essential to prevent chafing or discomfort and make the jacket feel cozy and comfortable against the skin or with a base layer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">WEATHER RESISTANCE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We evaluate rain jackets for weather resistance by subjecting them to extended wear in real-world wet conditions and simulated rainstorms. We also check our results against the jacket\u2019s materials technology. We assess the effectiveness of waterproof membranes, seam sealing, and durable water repellent (DWR) coatings to ensure they keep us dry for long days on the trail. Additionally, we consider the quality of zippers, hood design, and adjustability of cuffs and hems to make sure they effectively keep water out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1706\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3457-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A man adjusts the hood of his rain jacket\" class=\"wp-image-32983\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3457-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3457-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3457-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3457-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3457-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3457-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Adjustable hoods are best for dialing in the fit around a hat or helmet. &#8211; Photo Credit: Miles Knotek (CleverHiker.com)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">VENTILATION<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To test breathability and ventilation, we wear all of the rain jackets we test during a variety of high-intensity activities and diverse weather conditions, from light rain to massive storms with nonstop downpours and even snow. We assess the effectiveness of breathable waterproof membranes, such as Gore-Tex or eVent, that allow sweat and heat to escape while preventing water from entering. We also examine the placement, length, and functionality of ventilation features like pit zips, core vents, and mesh-lined pockets, which are crucial for reducing moisture buildup and shedding excess heat during strenuous hikes.

Coming in at well below its competitors, it\u2019s hard to find a cheaper rain jacket that still performs. With 2-layer construction and great features, the Trailmade is the perfect fit for the budget-conscious hiker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to spend a little more money and, in turn, get a higher-performing jacket, the <strong>Black Diamond Fineline Stretch <\/strong>is a great choice.

There\u2019s nothing worse than the feeling of hiking in a trash bag or in a layer that restricts movement. That\u2019s why during our testing, we\u2019re sure to take all our jackets through rigorous movement and stretching to find the most comfortable and mobile jackets on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Arc\u2019teryx Beta SL<\/strong> stood out to us for its trim yet comfortable design. A fitted cut fits slender bodies well while still allowing ample room in the shoulders and arms for movement. We were able to layer multiple layers underneath with no problem and never felt restricted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its almost elastic material, the <strong>Mountain Hardwear Stretch Ozonic<\/strong> offers great mobility. Whether it was crawling through brush on a backcountry hike or reaching to climb up a boulder, the Stretch Ozonic never inhibited our movements and felt natural on the body. The material is also soft to the touch and was one of the few rain jackets in our lineup that felt comfortable to wear with only a short-sleeved shirt underneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Norrona Falketind Dri1<\/strong> stands out to us for its extremely soft and quiet material. Almost paper-thin, it is among the thinnest and lightest. It was comfortable and light enough to wear on windy days as a wind layer, even if there was no rain in the forecast. On a technical climb field test, we were impressed by its ability to reach and stretch with every movement. Even while climbing technical rock, it never felt inhibiting to any movement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"sheets-chart-block\" data-block-id=\"a15e19a2-ff06-4e06-ae35-09bf7e9f1e3b\" data-chart-type=\"bar\" data-sheet-title=\"Comfort &amp; Mobility Rating\" data-sheet-id=\"1tbT15SlbhfMvL7Xo_sKsptPez0f7i3U9qH_MFyz-KSs\" data-label=\"A2:A13\" data-stats=\"G2:G13\" data-overlay=\"\" data-overlays=\"[&quot;C2:C13&quot;]\" data-bar-color=\"#529ECC\" data-x-axis-label=\"\" data-y-axis-label=\"\" data-trendline-label=\"\" data-x-axis-data=\"\" data-y-axis-data=\"\" data-sort-order=\"value-high-low\" data-editors-pick-text=\"\" data-editors-pick-image=\"\" data-budget-buy-text=\"\" data-budget-buy-image=\"\" data-axis-prepend-symbol=\"\" data-axis-symbol-selection=\"\"><div class=\"sheets-chart-canvas-wrap\" style=\"height:420px;max-width:800px\"><canvas class=\"sheets-chart-canvas\"><\/canvas><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2563.jpg\" alt=\"A man hikes down a hill through a snowy landscape wearing an orange jacket.\" class=\"wp-image-56506\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2563.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2563-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2563-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2563-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_2563-1536x1023.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Weighing less than nine ounces, the Norrona Falketind Dri1 is lightweight for summit attempts but cuts wind and moisture easily. &#8211; Photo Credit: Miles Knotek (CleverHiker.com)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\"><strong><strong>WEATHER RESISTANCE<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If we were to use only one jacket over and over in the heaviest rain and wind, it would be the <strong>Arc\u2019teryx Beta SL<\/strong>.

With taped zippers, there is no need to worry about water seeping in the pockets or main zipper. This jacket is in a class of its own for its ability to withstand heavy rain and wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its three-layer construction, the <strong>Patagonia Torrentshell<\/strong> is a solid option for when the weather turns nasty. We tested this jacket in the persistent dampness of Alaska\u2019s temperate rainforest and it withstood the elements. Water quickly and easily beaded off the shoulders and hood and withstood hours of being out in the rain without wetting through. We will continue to reach for this jacket for long exposure to heavy rain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"sheets-chart-block\" data-block-id=\"a15e19a2-ff06-4e06-ae35-09bf7e9f1e3b\" data-chart-type=\"bar\" data-sheet-title=\"Weather Resistance Rating\" data-sheet-id=\"1tbT15SlbhfMvL7Xo_sKsptPez0f7i3U9qH_MFyz-KSs\" data-label=\"A2:A13\" data-stats=\"H2:H13\" data-overlay=\"\" data-overlays=\"[&quot;C2:C13&quot;]\" data-bar-color=\"#529ECC\" data-x-axis-label=\"\" data-y-axis-label=\"\" data-trendline-label=\"\" data-x-axis-data=\"\" data-y-axis-data=\"\" data-sort-order=\"value-high-low\" data-editors-pick-text=\"\" data-editors-pick-image=\"\" data-budget-buy-text=\"\" data-budget-buy-image=\"\" data-axis-prepend-symbol=\"\" data-axis-symbol-selection=\"\"><div class=\"sheets-chart-canvas-wrap\" style=\"height:420px;max-width:800px\"><canvas class=\"sheets-chart-canvas\"><\/canvas><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1706\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_E5076-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A man drinks from his water bottle on an alpine hike.\" class=\"wp-image-32941\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_E5076-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_E5076-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_E5076-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_E5076-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_E5076-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_E5076-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Arc\u2019teryx Beta is crafted with exceptional quality.

But through rigorous testing to find the most breathable and well-vented jackets on the market, we\u2019re confident in what we\u2019ve identified as the top performers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chief among those is the <strong>Outdoor Research Foray II<\/strong>. The Foray II has the largest zips of any jacket we\u2019ve reviewed and provides unparalleled breathability. With double zips that extend from the triceps to the hem of the jacket, hikers can unzip the jacket almost in half to provide the highest degree of breathability. We love the double zippers for the ability to customize how much ventilation is provided. This jacket is great for those who often find themselves heating up on hikes and needing the most ventilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another leader for ventilation is the <strong>Montell Versalite<\/strong>. Specifically made as an ultra-light and ultra-breathable jacket, we found that this jacket comes through with those promises. We tested this jacket on up-tempo hikes and multiple runs and found it to be extremely breathable even when fully zipped up. It left us with no sensations of clamminess or moisture and continued to impress us during our tests. Also coming with oversized pit zips, the Versalite is the jacket to go for high ventilation in an ultra-light platform.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"sheets-chart-block\" data-block-id=\"a15e19a2-ff06-4e06-ae35-09bf7e9f1e3b\" data-chart-type=\"bar\" data-sheet-title=\"Vantilation Rating\" data-sheet-id=\"1tbT15SlbhfMvL7Xo_sKsptPez0f7i3U9qH_MFyz-KSs\" data-label=\"A2:A13\" data-stats=\"I2:I13\" data-overlay=\"\" data-overlays=\"[&quot;C2:C13&quot;]\" data-bar-color=\"#529ECC\" data-x-axis-label=\"\" data-y-axis-label=\"\" data-trendline-label=\"\" data-x-axis-data=\"\" data-y-axis-data=\"\" data-sort-order=\"value-high-low\" data-editors-pick-text=\"\" data-editors-pick-image=\"\" data-budget-buy-text=\"\" data-budget-buy-image=\"\" data-axis-prepend-symbol=\"\" data-axis-symbol-selection=\"\"><div class=\"sheets-chart-canvas-wrap\" style=\"height:420px;max-width:800px\"><canvas class=\"sheets-chart-canvas\"><\/canvas><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Closeup-view-of-a-hiker-unzipping-the-pit-zip-on-the-Montbell-Versalite-Jacket.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11297\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Closeup-view-of-a-hiker-unzipping-the-pit-zip-on-the-Montbell-Versalite-Jacket.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Closeup-view-of-a-hiker-unzipping-the-pit-zip-on-the-Montbell-Versalite-Jacket-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Closeup-view-of-a-hiker-unzipping-the-pit-zip-on-the-Montbell-Versalite-Jacket-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Closeup-view-of-a-hiker-unzipping-the-pit-zip-on-the-Montbell-Versalite-Jacket-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jackets with pit zips, like the Montbell Versalite, help disperse heat without leaving you exposed to the elements. &#8211; Photo Credit: Heather Eldridge (CleverHiker.com)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\"><strong><strong>DURABILITY<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We test products again and again under heavy conditions to gauge their durability. The <strong>Patagonia Torrentshell 3L<\/strong> stood out in this metric. After taking it through brush and multiple downpours, the integrity of the material was unaffected and continued to look brand new. The three-layer construction provides superior durability and we will keep this jacket in regular rotation for heavy use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its high price tag, the <strong>Arc\u2019teryx Beta<\/strong> <strong>SL<\/strong> is also tops for its durability. Compared to other jackets of similar weight, the Beta lasts longer and is tougher. We love the trim design without extraneous seams or features to wear out and were impressed with its resilient Gore-Tex that retained its weather resistance hike after hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Outdoor Research Foray II<\/strong> is also one of the most durable. Weight and durability often go hand in hand and we found this to be true with this jacket. The Foray II\u2019s external material is crisp and thick providing extreme levels of durability. It\u2019s a robust jacket that we have no hesitation using for heavy days where brush and scrapes with the terrain are common.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"sheets-chart-block\" data-block-id=\"a15e19a2-ff06-4e06-ae35-09bf7e9f1e3b\" data-chart-type=\"bar\" data-sheet-title=\"Durability Rating\" data-sheet-id=\"1tbT15SlbhfMvL7Xo_sKsptPez0f7i3U9qH_MFyz-KSs\" data-label=\"A2:A13\" data-stats=\"J2:J13\" data-overlay=\"\" data-overlays=\"[&quot;C2:C13&quot;]\" data-bar-color=\"#529ECC\" data-x-axis-label=\"\" data-y-axis-label=\"\" data-trendline-label=\"\" data-x-axis-data=\"\" data-y-axis-data=\"\" data-sort-order=\"value-high-low\" data-editors-pick-text=\"\" data-editors-pick-image=\"\" data-budget-buy-text=\"\" data-budget-buy-image=\"\" data-axis-prepend-symbol=\"\" data-axis-symbol-selection=\"\"><div class=\"sheets-chart-canvas-wrap\" style=\"height:420px;max-width:800px\"><canvas class=\"sheets-chart-canvas\"><\/canvas><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1706\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3463-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A man stands on a bridge over a river.\" class=\"wp-image-32986\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3463-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3463-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3463-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3463-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3463-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3463-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">the patagonia torrentshell leaves room for layers. &#8211; Photo Credit: Miles Knotek (CleverHiker.com)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\"><strong><strong>WEIGHT<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re the type of hiker who is weighing every item in your pack and is always searching for the lightest option, then the <strong>Montbell Versalite<\/strong> is the jacket you want to bring. Coming in at a feather-light six ounces, it\u2019s about half the weight of many of its competitors. We often would stuff this in our pack as a just-in-case layer and would regularly forget we were carrying it. Coming with an included stuff sack, it stuffs down to the size of an apple for easy carrying in the smallest of spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weighing in under 9 ounces, the <strong>Norrona Falketind Dri1<\/strong> is extremely lightweight while still offering strong weather resistance. It\u2019s light enough that we used it as a wind jacket on windy days in the alpine, even without any precipitation in the forecast. Packing down into the chest pocket, the&nbsp; Falketind Dri1 is great to throw in a backpack and not worry about taking up a lot of room.<br><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"sheets-chart-block\" data-block-id=\"a15e19a2-ff06-4e06-ae35-09bf7e9f1e3b\" data-chart-type=\"bar\" data-sheet-title=\"Weight Rating\" data-sheet-id=\"1tbT15SlbhfMvL7Xo_sKsptPez0f7i3U9qH_MFyz-KSs\" data-label=\"A2:A13\" data-stats=\"L2:L13\" data-overlay=\"\" data-overlays=\"[&quot;C2:C13&quot;]\" data-bar-color=\"#529ECC\" data-x-axis-label=\"\" data-y-axis-label=\"\" data-trendline-label=\"\" data-x-axis-data=\"\" data-y-axis-data=\"\" data-sort-order=\"value-high-low\" data-editors-pick-text=\"\" data-editors-pick-image=\"\" data-budget-buy-text=\"\" data-budget-buy-image=\"\" data-axis-prepend-symbol=\"\" data-axis-symbol-selection=\"\"><div class=\"sheets-chart-canvas-wrap\" style=\"height:420px;max-width:800px\"><canvas class=\"sheets-chart-canvas\"><\/canvas><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-bea02a06 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Learn to Love Backpacking in the Rain - CleverHiker.com\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g0RwcQ6Aifw?start=31&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"how-to-choose\" class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-32-px-font-size\">How to Choose a Rain Jacket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-montserrat-font-family has-font-18-px-font-size\"><strong>NUMBER OF LAYERS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of layers in a rain jacket correlates to price and long-term efficacy. Here is what you can expect with each layer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2-layer jackets<\/strong> are the most common and affordable. They\u2019re typically constructed with an outer shell coated in a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) combined with a breathable liner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.5-layer jackets<\/strong> are usually the lightest rain jackets and are made with the same DWR-coated outer as 2-layer options. The inner layer of a 2.5-layer jacket is typically a thin polyurethane coating that helps keep sweat and dirt from clogging the breathable pores of the jacket from the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3-layer jackets<\/strong> are the most effective in heavy moisture and they incorporate all of these elements: they have a DWR-coated outer shell, a breathable and waterproof mid-layer, and a polyurethane lining for the innermost layer. They also tend to be the heaviest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1706\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_E5329-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A close up of adjusting the cuffs of a rain jacket.\" class=\"wp-image-32958\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_E5329-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_E5329-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_E5329-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_E5329-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_E5329-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_E5329-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Secure cuffs keep rain and wind out.

This leads many people to think that their rain gear is failing, even though it\u2019s still waterproof and very much doing its job. If your jacket is new or has been well-maintained over its life, don\u2019t worry too much if you feel wetness forming inside your jacket. The chances are very high it\u2019s just trapped condensation, and it will evaporate with your body heat as long as you\u2019re wearing appropriate wicking layers underneath and you maximize the ventilation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/A-backpacker-wearing-a-rain-jacket-sitting-next-to-a-glacial-stream-in-Patagonia.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11315\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/A-backpacker-wearing-a-rain-jacket-sitting-next-to-a-glacial-stream-in-Patagonia.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/A-backpacker-wearing-a-rain-jacket-sitting-next-to-a-glacial-stream-in-Patagonia-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/A-backpacker-wearing-a-rain-jacket-sitting-next-to-a-glacial-stream-in-Patagonia-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/A-backpacker-wearing-a-rain-jacket-sitting-next-to-a-glacial-stream-in-Patagonia-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cleverhiker founder dave collins getting good use of his rain jacket in patagonia. &#8211; Photo Credit: Dave Collins (CleverHiker.com)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-32-px-font-size\" id=\"HOW-TO-STAY-COOL-DRY-IN-A-RAIN-JACKET\">How To Stay Cool &amp; Dry In A Rain Jacket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting hot and sweating when you\u2019re working hard in a rain jacket is inevitable, and condensation build-up in chilly conditions is very normal and to be expected. Here are our top tips for staying cool and dry in your new rain jacket:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Start cold<\/strong> &#8211; We recommend a single base layer under your rain jacket, especially if you hike quickly, or will be heading uphill right out of the gate. Using your go-to lightweight wool \/ synthetic t-shirt or base layer top under your rain jacket will feel cold at first, but you\u2019ll find that it takes just a few minutes of movement before you start to warm up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ventilate<\/strong> &#8211; You can quickly and easily dump heat through the pit zips, bottom hem, wrist cuffs, and front zipper. Finding the right amount of breathability is key, so consider taking a bit of time while hiking to make the micro-adjustments that will keep you cool and comfortable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Slow down<\/strong> &#8211; Moderating your pace will slow your heart rate and reduce sweating. If you find yourself a bit too warm or your jacket beginning to \u201cwet out\u201d, consider slowing your steps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Drink water<\/strong> &#8211; Drinking cold water regularly will cool you from the inside out. Just because it\u2019s raining doesn\u2019t mean you don\u2019t need to hydrate, so be sure to drink up while you trudge through that tempest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shed layers<\/strong> &#8211; When you\u2019re hiking, temperature regulation is simply a layering game. If you find yourself overheating &#8211; or getting too cold &#8211; consider taking off or putting on a hat, gloves, or a wicking mid-layer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use rain pants<\/strong> &#8211; No waterproof clothing system is truly complete without quality rain pants. Check out our guide to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/apparel\/best-rain-pants\/\">Best Rain Pants<\/a> for our favorites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Waterproof footwear<\/strong> &#8211; For wet days and soggy hiking adventures, you\u2019ll want to be waterproof from head to toe. Consider picking up a pair of waterproof hiking boots (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/footwear\/best-hiking-boots-women\/\">Men\u2019s<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/footwear\/best-hiking-boots-women\/\">Women\u2019s<\/a>), hiking shoes (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/footwear\/best-hiking-shoes-men\/\">Men&#8217;s<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/footwear\/best-hiking-shoes-women\/\">Women&#8217;s<\/a>), or rain boots (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/footwear\/best-rain-boots-men\/\">Men&#8217;s<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/footwear\/best-rain-boots-women\/\">Women&#8217;s<\/a>) to keep your feet dry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Umbrella<\/strong> &#8211; Consider using a <a rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener  nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Six-Moon-Designs-Ultralight-Umbrella\/dp\/B07NP6R1DD\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?keywords=ultralight+hiking+umbrella&amp;qid=1584580121&amp;sr=8-4&amp;linkCode=sl1&amp;linkId=ff1f859c0864d9b50a9f27f278707d37&amp;language=en_US&amp;tag=cleve05e-20\">hiking umbrella<\/a> not as a replacement for a jacket, but in addition.
