The REI Co-op Trailmade Rain Jacket has become a favorite among hikers and campers due to its unique technology and high quality. The durable water-repellent coating helps prevent water from saturating the fabric while the interior of the jacket is lined with mesh, which provides breathability and airflow so the jacket does not become hot or stuffy. With a unique two-layer waterproofing system, the rain jacket stays dry even in tough weather situations. It weighs a mere 14.1 ounces, making it very lightweight and easy to store. It's also machine washable and can be tightly folded when not in use to minimize space in a pack or suitcase.

One of the jacket's standout features is its durability, even in the toughest of circumstances. “Just one use and you’ll be praying for rain,” one shopper shared, eager to wear their new jacket. “Sturdy fabric, but easily folds for backpack or luggage. Pockets stay dry as well, and it is easy to wash. I used them in a complete downpour.”

Others say it makes a fantastic layering piece. "It’s a great little rain jacket," another shopper said. "Perfect for wearing into work or out on a walk. Very nice with a base layer."
