packable rain gear

This exact topic came up not too long ago, my recommendation
then and now, Marmot. Best rain gear I've ever owned.



Guess I missed that thread. I've cut my visits to ROFF way back, and then
show up mainly just to "mark all as read." But, it seems it IS possible to
miss something of use on ROFF, after all. Who'da thunk it?

I will order a Marmot. REI carries them, know of a better source?

If you're buying the current style, 99.99 is the best price you're likely to
find. If you're an REI member, you do get the 10% vig, so that knocks it
down a bit (well, I guess it knocks it down right about 10%...)


I searched the usual suspects, (REI, EMS, NMS, Moosejaw, Campmor) the only
one that has the 'old' style Precip is Moosejaw, and that only if you wear a
small.

Hey, Larry,

I use backcountry.com a lot. Free shipping, and the turnaround time is
really fast to California.

Campmor has the old style Precip in more sizes than that.

Hmmm, the ad on that link says that the jacket, when compared to previous
models, is "50% more waterproof".

Whats that mean?

Didn't see it when I searched... 80 bucks is a good price...

(Panicking) What's wrong with the new style?

Nothing -- the 'old' style is just a little cheaper. Last year's model, so
to speak. The 'new' one has a slightly different hood design (so I've read),
and has different logos. The change was mostly a new paint job.

50% LESS water gets in, I suppose?

The Orvis rain jacket is on sale at $53.40 from $89.00.

I looked at the quality of this rain jacket while at Orivs over the weekend,
it's pretty well made. If I didn't already have a packable rain jacket I
would have purchased it.
