Description

For some longer armed testers, the sleeves would pull slightly back near the wearer's wrists while reaching, but besides that, the Watertight performed respectably. The Torrentshell is constructed from Patagonia’s proprietary (and lightweight) H2No fabric—the company’s take on a Gore-Tex-style light and breathable waterproof fabric—which helps keep the jacket’s weight down. It’s worth noting that the pockets do sit a little too low to be easily accessed while wearing a backpack, although unclipping the waist belt solves that problem. And the pockets have lots of space—I’ve stuffed flashlights, water bottles, eggs from my chicken coop, and gardening tools in them. Generally speaking, laminate coatings will protect better and last longer, while membrane treatments are slightly lighter and cheaper.

The other features are much the same as any other rain jacket – a selection of pockets, adjustment features, and you can machine wash them (follow instructions). Although we didn’t experience any leakage in our tests, this coat is probably better suited to a lightly rainy day than to a torrential downpour, and it lacks the warmth for cooler months. Case in point: The first time you spend in a real downpour without a good rain jacket will probably be the last one.In thisarticle, I discuss why North Face raincoats are a great choice for people who love to be active outdoors. All in all, if you plan to hike or backpack with regularity, we think it’s worth stepping up for the added features and performance benefits of the Patagonia. Features like a deep hood and extra-long sleeves help keep you dry, while the generous cut makes it ideal for layering over other clothing. Omni-Tech™ technology brings you water-defying versatility, featuring multi-layered waterproof protection.

L.Bean coats, and the Girl On The Go is our only pick with a removable hood, if you prefer a trench style. layer waterproof construction that can hold its own in sustained rain, pit zips to dump heat quickly, and a reasonable weight of 12.Waterproof nylon shell with Omni-Tech moisture management technology that keeps rain out but allows your skin to breathe. For the technology, comfort and style, you receive phenomenal value for a durable Columbia soft shell jacket. This jacket is the perfect waterproof shell for wet weather, pouring rain, snow and light rain included. These pockets do get in the way while wearing a backpack because the waist-belt ends up directly on top of them, rendering them unusable. The bottom line: entry-level and even mid-range rain jackets are lacking in the breathability department, and for that functionality you’ll need to spend up for a performance-oriented piece.

The Patagonia Torrentshell 3L ( men’s and women’s) is the best rain jacket for backpacking because it’s made from a light and waterproof (yet breathable) fabric. I’m also plus-size, so I know that it can take a little more work to find clothes that offer style and a good fit. Not only does this prove to be relatively ineffective during any kind of serious activity, doing so leaves your pocket’s contents exposed to the elements. Your regular jacket might do for a light drizzle, but it takes a whole different level of fabric to keep you dry in driving rain.

With the liner, the Girl On The Go coat feels toasty and snug without having the bulk of a winter parka.
