💢💢 Top 5 Rain Jackets of 2021 💢💢
👉 #1: Top Overall Pick: REI Drypoint GTX
Men's: [ Ссылка ]
Women's: [ Ссылка ]
The DryPoint GTX features a streamlined fit and is both lightweight and durable. It’s designed with GORE-TEX active waterproof breathable laminate, making for a high quality product meant for weathering the worst of storms.
What I like most about the REI Drypoint GTX rain jacket is that the hip pockets are designed to be worn with a backpack.
What I don’t care for as much about this jacket is that there are no pit zips, which is a feature I find pretty useful for ventilation when I’m moving at a fast pace.

👉 #2: Top Budget Pick: REI Co-op Rainier
Men's: [ Ссылка ]
Women's: [ Ссылка ]
REI’s Rainier rain jacket features a 2.5 layer shell that shields you from rain and wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour. It’s complimented by a DWR finish and fully sealed seams. The hood can be adjusted many different ways and pit zips allow you to shed excess heat with ease.
What I like most about the Rainier is that it’s made from recycled ripstop nylon, making for a more eco-friendly selection than many alternatives.
What I don’t care for as much about this jacket is that it fits kind of loosely and big, so I felt more comfortable sizing one size down.

👉 #3: Best Lightweight Pick: Rab Phantom Pull-On
Men's: [ Ссылка ]
Women's: [ Ссылка ]
The Rab Phantom Pull-On weighs in at just over 3 ounces and features semi-stretchy 2.5 layer Pertex Shield fabric. The reduced volume hood fits snugly and a drop-in pocket in the storm guard allows you to stash and access essentials.
What I like most about the Phantom Pull-On is how packable it is, compressing down to a size of 4.5 by 2 inches.
What I don’t care for about this jacket is the quarter-zip style, which I think makes for reduced water resistance over time.

👉 #4: Best For Town To Trailhead: Marmot Minimalist
Men's: [ Ссылка ]
Women's: [ Ссылка ]
This rain jacket features GORE-TEX laminate and 100% seam-taped construction. The hood is adjustable and includes a nice, thick bill. For ventilation purposes, there are zippers beneath both arms and toggles at the hem and hood.
What I like most about the Marmot Minimalist is the flap over the front zipper that does a great job at staving off drafts from windy gusts.
What I don’t care for as much about this rain jacket is how heavy it is, weighing in at over 13 ounces.

👉 #5: Best For Extremely Active Adventures: Arc’teryx Zeta SL
Men's: [ Ссылка ]
Women's: [ Ссылка ]
If you need a jacket to wear in foul weather on super active, high-performance pursuits, look no further — you’ve found it.
The Zeta SL features GORE-TEX Paclite Plus technology, making this one of the most packable hard shells on the market. It features a trim, articulated fit that provides for complete freedom of movement and an adjustable hood, hem, and cuffs.
What I like most about the Zeta SL is that it looks and feels super high quality and boasts a durable design that could make for the last rain jacket you ever have to buy.
What I don’t care for about this jacket is how expensive it is. At $300, it’s one of the more pricey jackets on this list.
