Rain jacket

[Jay09]

What’s the best light weight rain jacket for the money? Preferably less than $200. Looking for a good jacket for a mid September Colorado elk hunt.

REI has last years Arc’teryx Beta Lt Hybrid jacket on sale for $198 (MSRP $399).

You can’t order it on the website, but if you call the item number is 1108220012.

I picked up the heron color which is similar to a slate gray. It’s a sweet packable Goretex jacket with pit zips.

Cut and paste fail, item number is 1108220012.

cabelas space rain. Cheap, relatively durable, super light. Honestly, have only had it on like half a dozen times in 6 years, and for very short stints.

I have used Cabela's space rain jacket and pants for three seasons now and am pleased with them. For the price they are hard to beat and if something ever happens the warranty covers them.

I purchased a Skre rain jacket for my sept elk hunt. It was used as a windbreak and that’s it so can’t say it keeps rain out but is is very light and I found it on sale for $120 so within your budget.

I bought a like new Kuiu Yukon jacket for 200 on a Facebook group.

REI has the OR Helium II on sale, has great reviews and weighs like 6 ounces. I have one on the way.

For packable stuff I'm just running a space rain jacket and some marmot packable pants. I was tapped out on funds when I bought the space rain but for how often I use it I haven't found a reason to upgrade it. Marmot pants are full zip which is slick too.

Ive been using a mil surplus rain jacket. Its part of the ECWCS clothing. Lightweight. Bone dry. Weighs almost nothing i carry it most days in my pack in case wind comes up. Only down side is the hood is huge, i assume its to be worn over a helmet. Maybe $100.

Yeah, my rain jacket was about $100, as well. 3/4 length, though. Bone dry, windproof and light. Works great in Alaska.

Loving the first lite vapor gear. Worth the price IMO.

I usually wear camo Sitka raingear but I also have used and abused Marmot Precip on numerous Alaska trips while fishing. I bought 2 sets of Marmot Precips from Sierra Trading because they were only around $50 each! That is a heck of a deal for quality jackets....also have 3 sets of pants...that I use on a regular basis. They have all held up very well.

What ever rain jacket you decide on make sure they have pitzips or you will end up getting wet from the inside-out!

I ran the outdoor research foray jacket in green this summer for work. Great color for hunting purposes and it comes with a lifetime no questions asked warranty. Pretty awesome deal when you think about how easy it is to tear up rain gear when busting through brush, crawling through cactus or trying to get over a barbed fence.
