DRY KIDS Adults Waterproof All in One Rainsuit Ideal Wet Weather Gear

Product Information

Rain jackets don’t offer as much variation in features as some other types of outdoor gear, but there are notable differences between models. It’s still a developing technology and key brands like Patagonia haven’t made the full switch yet (for more, here’s Patagonia’s breakdown of the process), but PFC-free options are becoming more prevalent on the market. And on the move, the hand pocket vents on the REI aren’t as effective at dumping heat as the Minimalist’s or Foray’s pit zips (plus, opening them up means you can't rely on the pockets for storage). DANWEAR "DaWi 1054" sporty WHITE-NAVY BLUE striped women's rain jacket, breathable, wind- and waterproof with a water resistance of 5,000 mm.

After many many requests, DRY KIDS have launched their adult version of the best selling Waterproof all in One Rainsuit. Our women’s waterproof parka coats are a timeless solution to fending off the wet and windy climate and staying warm and dry in the winter. In the end, the Beta LT is the more well-rounded pick for most mountain-goers, but the Storm10 is worth a look for those focused more on weight and packability. layer waterproof construction that does well in light to moderate conditions, seam taping, and reasonable weight.The cord wraps around the sides of your head and pins the fabric down in a uniform way when cinched, which keeps the hood on your head even in really windy conditions. By lining some of their designs' handwarmer pockets with airy mesh, they double as vents when unzipped. For casual wear, these complaints may not be deal breakers, but we think there are better crossover everyday/backcountry options.

When the wind is blowing, you want a hood that conforms to your head, while retaining enough structure around the sides and the bill that you can still see out. And for a shell that’s intended for hiking and backpacking, we’d prefer the hand pockets sit a little higher to be accessible when wearing a hipbelt (the interior chest pocket is generously sized, however). Serious shells, such as those offered by Arc’teryx, often place the hand pockets higher up on the torso to avoid interfering with your pack’s hipbelt (they're often referred to as "hipbelt- or harness-compatible. This coat is actually made with 90 per cent recycled or Bluesign-approved fabric and if anything breaks, Jack Wolfskin offers a repair service.

layer build and DWR coating can handle light to moderate rainfall, the adjustable hood offers good all-around coverage, and its small packed size is ideal for activities ranging from hiking and backpacking to climbing. When I wore it on my regular 15-mile bike ride - a route with its fair share of steep ups and down - I found only a small amount of sweat on my inner layer afterwards, even though I had been deliberately pushing it harder than normal. For daily uses like commuting, running errands, or walking the dog, you’ll likely prioritize a casual fit (which will accommodate a wide variety of layers underneath) and useful features like handwarmer pockets and Velcro wrist cinches.

Watch out, though: being 100 percent polyester, it’s not the most breathable jacket out there, so you’ll quickly heat up from strenuous exercise. This was easily the lightest jacket on test, its fabric is recycled, and its waterproof and breathability credentials are top-rated. In addition, adjustable hood and anorak neck with YKK zipper and storm flap, tiebelt at the waist, reflectors and chest pocket.No piece of outdoor gear offers total protection from outside moisture, but most of today’s rain jackets are listed as being either “water-resistant” or “waterproof. We also don’t like the new center flap over the main zipper, which no longer has a button to secure it in place, is relatively small and flimsy, and is prone to folding open. Some membrane designs are more vulnerable to getting clogged up and require consistent cleaning (this will vary based on use, but we aim for every few weeks with our eVent direct venting gear).
