This 343g rain jacket has an unusual three-quarter-length front zip (which also opens from the bottom), accompanied by side zips so you can put it on over a helmet. The three-layer ‘H2No’ fabric is claimed to be breathable, waterproof and stretchy, with a PFC-free DWR finish and a wicking soft-knit inner. A dropped rear hem and overhelmet hood add to the jacket’s MTB credentials, while abrasion-resistant reinforcement on the forearms and shoulders promises longevity. Stowability is designed in; you can pack it into its rear pocket and stuff it in a bag, or roll it into its hood and tie the arms around your waist. https://eu.patagonia.com
