Sounds like this jacket keeps the rain away pretty well! My question is how well-ventilated the jacket is....I am doing a work trip to the Grand Canyon in March and would like to pack as lightly as possible. In addition to being a good rain jacket, is this one fairly cool as well? I'm going to be camping all week, and working during the days and want something that will keep me dry in case of rain, but also not too bulky on dry days. Is this a good pick for that sort of thing? Thanks!

It's quite breathable b/c of its material and large pit-zips it also packs down to almost nothing and could fit into a Nalgene (with or without BPA). : )It's a great pick for that sort of thing!_______________________The best thing about this jacket is it's value. My personal experience has been mixed concerning it's breathability...there are other materials that are more breathable currently (eVent tops them all), however to get a jacket made from eVent or Gore you would be shelling out from twice up to 4 times as much! I've also not be super impressed with the fit, but, again, it's much better than any other jacket at this pricepoint which has made it a huge seller. I would recommend this jacket for your needs and even if it doesn't meet all of your criteria perfectly, it will be a jacket you will wear for many years to come.
