Rain and Waterproof Jackets

Rain jackets and hard shells, commonly called waterproof jackets, are designed to resist harsh weather such as snow and heavy rain. Their membrane consists of several plies, made of 2 to 3 layers. Some shells also wick moisture away and feature sealed seams... for added protection to help you stay dry during a backpacking trip. And among those jackets, some also comes with a DWR treatment improving their ability to repel water.Show more
