The Rundown
The most packable jacket in our rain shell range, we made the Essentials waterproof jacket from a partially recycled 2.5-layer hardshell with a sleek matte finish for outdoor enthusiasts who aren’t afraid of a little rain. With fully sealed seams and a 20K/20K waterproofing/breathability rating, it efficiently vents sweat while keeping you really, truly dry despite the downpour. Features two hand pockets you can still access with a backpack on, an adjustable hem and a fixed rain visor on the hood. Well-equipped for casual hikes, daily commutes and running errands. This style replaces the former Aegis waterproof hardshell jacket. Rain protection absolutely worth its weight.
