Rain jackets are essential for everyone who lives in an area where rain is unavoidable or, worse, unpredictable. On cloudy days, we wear our jackets to work, pack them in bags, and fit them into backpacks before heading out onto the trails.
But wouldn't it be good not to have to worry about fitting the raincoat into an already overcrowded travel bag? Or whether you should stow your wet clothing in your purse? Or, on a hiking trip, how do you carry your jacket separately from your main backpack?
Packable jackets—coats that fold into themselves and disappear into their own pockets—come in helpful in this situation. Before putting on the jacket, simply unzip the hand or chest pocket and smooth it out. When the sun shines, shake off the raindrops and roll the raincoat back into its own compartment.
What's more, it's free. Some of the jackets seen here fold up to about the size of your hand.
When selecting for packable rain coats, keep the jacket material in mind. Check that it is both waterproof and breathable.
If the fabric of the jacket is breathable but not waterproof, you have a fair-weather companion. If it's waterproof but not breathable, you'll have a sauna-like sensation when a deluge hits just as you start the trip back to the campground.
Here's a rundown of some of the more well-known, breathable, and waterproof fabrics that can be found in high-quality rain jackets:
Eco-Shell - Recycled polyester that does not contain fluorocarbons. Waterproof, breathable, and beneficial to the environment.
Water-Repellant Gore-Tex Polytetrafluoroethylene that has been stretched and is breathable, windproof, and waterproof.
Proflex is a PU hydrophilic membrane sandwiched between two high gauge knit textiles that makes softshell jackets waterproof like hardshell jackets.
The North Face's Futurelight is a lightweight, air-permeable nano-fiber membrane that lets air to pass through for improved venting and breathability without sacrificing waterproofness or durability.
Marmot Membrain is a polyurethane laminate fabric that is both breathable and waterproof.
Keep an eye out for breathability details, water-repellent coatings, and leak-proof zippers as you browse the following twelve packable rain jackets. All of this, and more, ensures comfort, protection, and freedom of movement in all weather conditions. Instead, are you looking for men's packable rain jackets? Buy them here.
