Norrøna Falketind Gore-Tex Paclite Jacket - Men's
Best Lightweight Jacket

Ranked #1575 - Men's Rain Jackets
August 11, 2009
This jacket is fantastic for lightweight backpacking. For a light jacket, it is very waterproof, but it will still get damp in a heavy downpour. It fits pretty slim and has some nice features like extra-wide cuffs so you can fit gloves through when its cold. The pockets are placed high enough that you can get at them when you have a backpack strapped on. The waterproof zippers do a good job of keeping maps and such dry, and the hood has a semi-stiff brim that keeps rain out of the eyes. It is light enough and well ventilated enough that you can hike long distances without really thinking about your rain jacket. Just a well thought out technical jacket.
