Steve,

The best rain jacket I've owned is a Redington. It has well designed
adjustable
closures around waist, face and wrists. Also has built in neoprene
fingerless gloves
and the right number of internal and external pockets/pouches
Living in Orygun and chasing winter steelhead requires a good rain jacket.
Just looked for a model name/number on it.....nothing.

I am looking for a good jacket for the chico area for rainstorms. Any
opinions on the following jackets? These may be used in the mountains
in cold rain, but probably at temps no lower than say 35. This is for
cold northern california rain, maybe some snow skiing, but for
california, not alaska.

GORE-TEX North Peak Parka - Regular
GORE-TEX XCR Gold Series Jacket
GORE-TEX Wading Jacket - Regular
