mixed
Reviewers praise
  • Waterproof membrane keeps wearer dry in heavy rain with fully taped seams and water-beading fabric
  • Breathable enough to prevent clamminess during high-output activities
  • Packable and lightweight, fits into its own mesh pocket or small pack space
Reviewers push back
  • Not windproof enough for extreme wind or storm conditions
  • No insulation, requires layering in cold weather
  • Exterior fabric gets visibly soaked even when interior stays dry
Reviewers agree the Rainier is a solid waterproof jacket with good breathability and packability at a fair price, though it lacks insulation and windproofing for extreme conditions.
— best for: Traditional hikers and campers who need reliable rain protection with good breathability across moderate conditions and occasional travel to wet climates.

I was looking for a light jacket to get me a little extra warmth while out in cooler temperatures when I have on a long sleeve t shirt and a shirt sleeve over that and this just right. It’s not waterproof, if it was perspiration would build up inside and I would be too warm, oh, it is fine in a light mist so you don’t get soggy. The hood can be snugged up fairly tight to stay in place, pockets are Glenn · REI

We purchased this jacket for my husband right before leaving for two weeks travelling Europe and hiking in the Dolomites. We experienced a few very rainy days, particularly a bad downpour during one of our longest hiking days on the mountain. This jacket was put to the test, and won high marks! It is lightweight and packs easily. The pit zips ensure you don't get too sweaty while being active. The NanaGram · REI
