No matter what’s falling from the sky, the Salomon Women’s Paclite Jacket keeps you dry. Ultralight Gore-Tex Paclite fabric seals out precip of all sorts—guaranteed*. This Salomon jacket's mesh-lined venting hand pockets keep you from roasting while you climb, ski, or whitewash your better half, and Gore-Tex Paclite’s enhanced breathability eliminates the clammy sensation that comes with many waterproof shells. Fully taped seams up the ante on Gore-Tex’s already solid dry guarantee. *Guarantee not valid with hydrochloric acid, unicorn tears, or spaceship fuel.
I have been on a mission to find a rain jacket that's high quality, functional, comfortable, affordable, and cute enough that I would want to wear it regularly because I am moving to the Pacific NW soon. I think this might be it (after trying various other models by Marmot, North Face, etc.). This jacket is the most flattering so far (and cheap on sale!), it fits trim but not too short, and feels like a great material. I just received it so I do not know how effective it is in a downpour, but I can tell you that the Garden color is very pretty without being too bright. This is a great choice if you want a rain shell that is actually flattering and functional!
