Great Lightweight Rain Shell
By Eric McCammond
Ranked #1788 - Men's Rain Jackets
November 24, 2008
This is one of two "lightweight" rain shells I have and this one seems to weigh much less than the other one. Although the weight is actually about the same, the Rain Shadow's fabric seems less "stiff" making it more comfortable and pack down tighter. However, I was lucky enough to get this jacket free from work. In the world of high tech softshells, I never carry this unless I'm planning on running into some torrential rains.
