2.5 Layer PERTEX® Shield with a DWR finish (20,000mm Waterproof / 20,000g/m2 mvp Breathability)

This jacket is the lightestweight jacket I’ve ever met in my life. It fits super securely with strong elastication around the wrists and a thumb loop to keep the sleeves in place. It’s a fantastic option for running or cycling through rainy conditions. It’s super breathable to wear and barely feels like it’s added a layer at all, also packing down smaller than small to come along with you on adventures. I wouldn’t recommend this as an everyday jacket as you sacrifice some comfort and versatility to get the lightness and secureness.

Fit Tip: True to size.

Earth Sea Sky's Hydrophobia is a true classic in New Zealand. You will not find a more hardwearing and durable rain jacket made in our own backyard than this one. This is not a jacket for those looking for lightweight and packable options. The Hydrophobia is an excellent 3-layer jacket with a strong face fabric that has the length that provides you with full coverage even when sitting down on wet benches. The pockets are designed to sit above your pack's hip belt so they are accessible at all times during your tramp. There's a nice little touch where the main pockets have a top and side entry. The main zip runs all the way to your chin for even more rain and wind coverage. The drawcord by the waist is really useful to create a better fit for all body shapes.

If you are looking for a durable jacket that will last you many years and will provide you with as most coverage to protect you from the rain and windy conditions, make the investment in the Hydrophobia jacket.

Fit Tip: The fit of the jacket is generous, allowing you to fit multiple layers underneath.

This jacket is a beautiful design, a good length if you’re looking for a longer raincoat and will keep you bone dry! It is on the heavier side, so I wouldn’t be recommending it for longer hikes. It’s also a slightly different fit to most of our other raincoats, as it has more of a T shape and doesn’t have separate sleeve panels. Because of this, it has more of a sloping shape on the shoulders and less of a defined and boxy look. It fits slimmer on the hips as well so I would recommend a size up if you’re on the curvier side.

Fit Tip: Slimmer fit and rounded shoulders.

The Arc'teryx Alpha is my choice for very active adventures where a high performance shell is required, but in a lightweight form factor. The Alpha gives me the security of being protected by best in class waterproofing in 3L GORE-TEX� Pro, while Hadron� 3L GORE-TEX� in lower wear areas reduces weight and bulk in my pack, but also breathes better than GORE-TEX� Pro, making for an extremely versatile shell for high output adventures.

Fit Tip: Runs large
