Since rain has a propensity to fall on virtually anything from parades to parties, the folks over at Marmot crafted the Women's Essential Jacket to keep you covered in the event your event gets rained on. Fashioned with the lightweight yet totally water- and wind-proof Gore-Tex Paclite material, this minimalist jacket is both pragmatic and charming with its slimming silhouette and a longer cut, providing extra coverage when the skies open up.

In addition to its bombproof Gore-Tex construction, the Essential is equipped with an adjustable hood and fully taped seams, ensuring no water can permeate its surface. And, just in case that chilly rain should turn into a warm drizzle, the underarm ventilation system gives you the ability to regulate your temperature.
