Dames Ultralight Storm 2.5L Jack

Finally a rain jacket that doesn't feel like a plastic bag—the fully taped seams really sealed out the driving rain during my hour-long walk, and it packs down small enough to stuff in my tote.

Pulled it on before a downpour on my commute and the water-resistant zipper did its job perfectly, not a drop got through. It packs down so small I almost forget it's in my bag.

Took this out in a proper downpour last week and the fully taped seams plus water-resistant zipper did exactly what they promised—bone dry underneath. It packs down so small I forgot it was in my tote, which is exactly what I needed for a rainy commute.
