I am moving to Grenada. Throughout the year, the temp is 80-85 degrees F during the day, and 65-75 at night. During the wet season the air is humid and there are frequent torrential showers. I need an everyday rain jacket that is very breathable and dry. Do you recommend this jacket or the north face prophecy jacket?

These two jackets use the same Hyvent DT waterproof/breathable coating, so functionally these two are going to be very similar. The advantage with the Prophecy is that the jacket is a little lighter/more packable than the Venture Jacket- it also uses waterproof zippers rather than a storm flap. I believe either jacket would be very good for the environment down there.
