Patagonia Rain Shadow Jacket - Men's
Superlight, packable waterproof shell
By Babak Sakaki
Ranked #474 - Men's Rain Jackets
February 17, 2009
I took this shell to the Rothbury Music festival last summer. During the last days of the fest, it rained unholy amounts of rain. This was the type of precipitation that truly tests the quality of your gear. Honestly, in this industry you usually get what you pay for. Anyway, most of our group had soaked through tents and jackets. My tent was soaked through as hell, but I was bone dry, outside in my Rain shadow. Lightweight shell, packs into nothing, and stops rain as good as goretex (up to 47psi apparently).
