This year I bought a MontBell Versalite that has claims similar to the Helium. It uses "Windstopper" Goretex, but the waterproofing numbers looked really good. Having owned earlier GoreTex jackets I was VERY skeptical, but the jacket did better than I expected, considering how light it is.

I recently downsized from my giant North Face hardshell and got an Outdoor Research Helium rain jacket. Watched and read loads of reviews that put this 2.5 layer jacket pretty high on the "repelling water" front. They basically said yeah it won't handle a tropical thunderstorm, but it'll handle rainy weather just fine, and it's one of the best non-Goretex that you can find. Well, I decided to try it out before my trip next week and BOY am I glad I did. Went to the park in the rain for about an hour and a half, it was raining fairly hard but still - an hour and a half. And I got SOAKED. DRENCHED. It soaked through on the sleeves, chest, back, shoulders, you name it. 

What?? Is this really "impressively waterproof", as one reviewer called it? How much rain do you expect a rain jacket to handle before it soaks through? I know that there is no such thing truly as 'waterproof', rather just water resistance up until a point, but I thought that point ought to be at least a couple hours. Is gore-tex truly my only option if I want weather protection that lasts beyond a summer shower? I don't find Gore-tex jackets to be very ultralight which is why I went for the Helium, but maybe I should just bite the bullet.

How much rain should a good rain jacket be able to handle?

 Being able to put your hands into these pockets and get them out of the wind or store items in these pockets is really nice and the helium does not have that option for around the same price maybe 30 $40 more I think it's well worth it to go with this jacket. It's got all the features that helium has just as life, just as packable. but you're gonna get these pockets. you're gonna get the super breathability

 see how the breathability of this thing is working out. So far it's surprising me, all right. So I've been moving for a while now and definitely getting warm inside of the jacket rising. Li I'm not feeling a whole lot of condensation building up on the inside I'm not feeling super clammy

 Pockets are raised up slightly so that when you have your hip belts on from a pack or a fanny pack whatnot around your waist, you can still access your pockets. Waterproof zippers. Pockets are pretty big. You can easily store a phone or or your keys or snacks

 So I've been moving for a while now and definitely getting warm inside of the jacket rising. Li I'm not feeling a whole lot of condensation building up on the inside I'm not feeling super clammy. My back's a little bit wet, but that's to be expected with a pack on. That's just gonna happen

Ultralight Backpacking Rain jacket - Montbell Versalite Gear Review

 Yeah, the Outdoor Research: Helium 2 jacket. Really good jacket. Um, but it didn't have pit zips and I always got so hot in it. I wear it in the winter and it was just the winter over my like a long sleeve shirt and I'd be hiking and I'd be so hot because it just doesn't ventilate, doesn't let any of the air that you're building up inside your jacket out at all

 Okay, there's wild turkeys. Look at those freaking fit birds. See if I can go any farther. Yeah, look at them

 The other thing about these pockets is when I pull this, you see that the bottom waist part of the jacket cinches. This is on both sides so you can actually cinch your jacket from the inside your pocket. Very interesting design. Don't know why that's the case, but it works

 My arm's tired. The great thing about it is if like like I said, if you want to stay warm, you just keep them zipped up. If you just want to have a little bit of flow, I just zip them halfway down. uh, whichever I had

Best Backpacking Rain Jacket 2021 - Montbell Versalite - On-Trail Review

 sorry about that. Anyway, thanks everyone for tuning in for this review of the Montville Versa Light. This is a great rain jacket. It's pricey, but it's worth it

 This is a great rain jacket. It's pricey, but it's worth it. And make sure you hit that subscribe button like this video and share it! Mahalo.

 So my only real concern when it comes to this jacket is that it depends on a DWR coating for its water repellency. So in high, highly used areas like across the shoulders where my shoulder straps would be for my pack, I can see the DWR treatment wearing off and I can see the material possibly wetting out in that zone. Now that hasn't happened to me yet and it doesn't concern me that much because there are companies out there that make DWR treatment products that you can just apply to the rain jacket that will bring back that water repellency. Now a couple gripes about this jacket

Montbell Versalite Review

I’m 6’1, 160lbs. I use both L on my Primelite and Versalite. Had the Primelite for four years, Versalite for two. Both layers fit me great so if you’re a M in the Primelite, you’ll probably want to go with M on the Jacket as well

 Had the Primelite for four years, Versalite for two. Both layers fit me great so if you’re a M in the Primelite, you’ll probably want to go with M on the Jacket as well.

I have a Montbell Versalite Jacket size M, which fits quite nicely with enough room for some layers underneath. 
I’d like to buy a Primelite but am unsure of the sizing since it appears to run quite small. Does anybody own both and can help out?
I am 180cm/5”11 and around 75kg/165 pounds.

Thanks!

Which size Cumulus Primelite Pullover for layering under Montbell Versalite Jacket M?

 The size of the hood opening is controlled by two cords at the top of the chest which are easy to grab and tighten even if you’re wearing gloves or rain mitts. The beauty of this system is that you don’t have to reach into the neck or hood area with wet gloves to adjust it in the rain.The cords are routed through two channels in the neck and sewn quite robustly to avoid tearing. If you still manage to rip them out, there are exposed adjusters above the channels, much like the conventional ones you find on other jackets, that you can still use to tension and adjust the size of the hood’s face opening

 Montbell nailed this one.Specs at a GlanceWeight: 6.4 oz in Medium (7.0 oz in XL)Fabric: 2 layer Gore-tex Windstopper Infinium and 10-denier Ballistic Airlight nylon ripstopWater resistance: 30,000 mmBreathability: 43,000 g/m2/24hrs (JIS L-1099 B-1 method)Center back length: 28

The cords are routed through the neck so they can be adjusted easily while wearing glovesThere’s also a stiffener sewn into the brim to keep its shape, although it’s not bendable like a wire. Still, it is sturdy enough that I can hike without a billed cap to keep the rain off of my eyes and my glasses, which I appreciate.Overall, the Versalite hood is just fantastic for a rain jacket. I especially like the hood sizing and adjustments because they minimize noisy flapping in a stiff breeze so I can use the Versalite as a wind shirt as well as a rain jacket

The Torrentshell 3L is designed with outdoor adventure in mind. The deep hood and extra-long sleeves keep rain off your face and out of your hair, and the generous cut makes it ideal for layering over other clothing.

Switchback Travel

Patagonia shook up the rain jacket market with the release of its Torrentshell 3L in spring 2020. In a big shift from prior generations, the jacket went from a 2.5-layer design to a hardshell-like 3-layer construction, giving it a big boost in performance. The latest version is more protective and durable, breathes better, and its interior is more comfortable and less prone to feeling clammy thanks to a thicker lining. Add in sleek Patagonia styling, a wide variety of available colorways, and a price tag that is only $20 more than the previous model, and the versatile Torrentshell 3L currently is our favorite rain jacket on the market.

For years, the Marmot Minimalist held the top spot on this list, which has a softer-feeling shell that wears extremely well around town. A notable downside of the Torrentshell 3L is that it’s stiffer and more crinkly than the older version and competitors like the aforementioned Minimalist and Black Diamond StormLine. In addition, weight and packed size have gone up a fair amount with the latest build (it still stuffs into a hand pocket, however), although we consider these fair tradeoffs as the Torrentshell has improved in just about every other way. For its reasonable $149 MSRP, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better-made, better-looking, or more protective shell... Read in-depth reviewSee the Men's Patagonia Torrentshell 3L  See the Women's Patagonia Torrentshell 3L

The best overall rain jacket balances premium weather protection, versatility (for both everyday use and hiking), and great quality and durability—all at an affordable price point. By all measures, the Patagonia Torrentshell 3L stands out among the crowd. On one hand, the Torrentshell is clearly intended for everyday use with a reasonable $149 price tag, roomy fit, and feature set that doesn’t skimp on convenience. On the other, it boasts a 3-layer H2No Performance Standard construction, putting its weather protection on par with true performance pieces. To top it off, Patagonia claims the Torrentshell 3L “never gets old,” which speaks both to its classy, clean styling and ultra-durable 50-denier face fabric.

The Torrentshell 3L is remarkably versatile, but it’s certainly not the most technical option here. You don’t get hipbelt-compatible pockets or sleek water-resistant zippers, and the 12.5-ounce weight is on the heavy end. Plus, while the fit of the Patagonia is slightly trimmer than full-on casual models (like the REI Co-op Rainier below), it’s roomier than performance-focused jackets like Arc'teryx's Beta LT. But all in all, for $149, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more protective and breathable jacket that looks this good. Keep in mind the Torrentshell 3L is available in a parka-length “City Coat” version too, which offers even more coverage and has great urban styling.See the Women's Patagonia Torrentshell 3L
