Some of the most epic videos of your hikes star the Anti-gravity Gear jacket. Years of coated DWR 100 rain gear the really did not work for me when hiking in actual days on rain, I went with a good PAC-Lite Goretex parkas. The OR Foray that has full side zips is my current favorite. I still dayhike with my old Marmot Precip when I am looking for a wind shell that just needs to water resistant.

I prefer more parka length as they keep your thighs and your butt dry.
Those are getting harder to find as many pursue fashion over function.
The Packa is a solid choice as it covers the hiker and your pack with plenty of ventilation. You'll never win a fashion show in it, but it will keep you dry.

Nice that you show a full range of options from budget to expensive. I have a Frogg Toggs jacket and yes they're kind of like a trash bag but do the job. I have a hard time with 200 for a super-thin rain jacket which is probably why you'll never see me in an EE.

My rain jacket of choise is the RAB Phantom, it is superlight with about 100g/3, 5oz, it is breathable and it packs down to the size of a softball.
RAB is in the UK and they know how to deal with rain because it is raining every single day in the UK; -)

I cannot believe you recommend frog tog I bought one one time. It melts near heat and tears easy. Even on a good trail its garbage. You know its garbage when you have to say bring ductape. Anyone reading this, dont buy it. Even for one time use.

The Frogg Toggs are definitely not durable - I've ripped a couple of them on brush when bushwhacking or getting snagged on something. Although they're not pretty they work great, even in really heavy rain and wind. Bang for the buck is great.

And I apologize for my intemperate comment about Auburn -- clearly the best school in the state, and your Alma mater. Another excellent gear rundown, and high class act including items for us little people.

The only rain jacket I ve ever used is the Zpacks Vertice. Actually I ve only used it as a wind jacket until day before yesterday I tried it in the rain and it was ok. I usually only use an umbrella.
