Tested out the new UL Premonition during my training in Salt Lake City and my recent Makalu expedition. Two of the best features of the jacket are its weight and packability — it is incredibly light and easy to pack into my backpack, especially when carrying a lot of gear and equipment up to higher camps. The jacket shielded me from rain, snow, and high winds at higher altitudes. It ’s highly mobile and easy to wear. Particularly love the internal long zippered pocket — perfect for storing important devices like iPhone or Garmin inReach.

[ Employee of mountainhardwear] This is my go- to lightweight waterproof shell. Basically like a feather in my backpack, there is no reason not to bring it. Alpine climbing, mountain biking, hustle footing. I live in the PNW and rain is almost guaranteed on every outing- got ta have this.

I bought this in the early summer bc I was in desperate need of a new rain jacket( my old one was literally crumbling apart!). This past weekend I assisted in the rescue 7 people who were capsized in a pontoon boat. I dove into the water with phone and all in the pocket of this jacket. After the scary event ended I took my phone out of my pocket and was shocked to still see the phone screen activated! The phone still needed about 7 hours to completely dry out and let me charge it but it ’s completely fine now. Obviously this jacket isn ’ t meant to be submerged but the saving the phone of it all felt worth mentioning. This jacket is also WARM and I don ’ t feel like raindrops are still making me cold through the jacket. It ’s also a superb wind breaker. I wore it on a 5k ft hike and the wind at the top was bearable in this jacket. It ’s expensive but it WORKS.

Best rain jacket ever! I bought this for a trip to Hawaii. I 'm under 5 feet tall and the jacket length was perfect. It has breathable fabric. Even in the humid weather of Hawaii, there was enough airflow to help me stay cool and also helped me stay warm when it was too windy out. The buttoned cuffs near the wrists were helpful as well. Super slick too!

Windproof and waterproof, it is the lightweight champion of all jackets. ... [ Price quality utility is great, this hard shell is great for commuting, raining weather, and can probably take this

[ Great jacket. I have put it to the test and it has held up with no leaks. However, it does run a bit larger on size. I highly recommend this jacket!
5
[ Packing for travel, you want a jacket that can handle the cold, wind, and rain yet still fit in your travel bag using minimal space. Marmot solved all that with this jacket. I love my jacket! With both inside& outside pockets and even a hood that actually rides well on your head, everyone should take a look at this jacket before spending your money.

[ It ’s unnoticeable weight makes it a perfect item to leave in my bag when I commute to work for surprise showers and and a great to keep in a bag for hikes just in case The durability isn ’ t compromised either. After getting to the top of camels hump in northern VT, it started raining shorty after. Parts of this meant we were scrambling down rocks in a down pour. Theres 0 damage to the jacket!

[[ Employee of marmot] Bought this jacket for a summer trip full of hiking and urban exploring across Norway. This jacket held up and kept me dry through everything that we encountered-- misty, windy, foggy, rainy-- and it fit great layered over a fleece on the colder days. When the pace picked up or we were going uphill, the pit- zips were great additions to help keep me comfortable and prevent overheating. It also packs down super small so it was easy to bring along on every excursion in a daypack just in case it started to rain.

My wife bought this jacket for a trip to Alaska. She liked the length of the jacket, the fact there were two outside pockets on each side( zippered and snapped) and a surprise inside zippered pocket, which proved useful for quick storage of little things when her hands were full. She did n't want to take a puffy jacket, even though the weather was expected to be cold for the whole trip. She planned on just layering underneath the jacket. The jacket proved to be exactly what she needed, and she was pleased with the purchase.

It ’s more expensive than I usually spend but it makes me feel better knowing I ’ m supporting an ethical/ sustainable business.

I am so happy I got this coat for the torrential rains that are happening in California right now. I usually wear a medium... sized up to a large and I am glad I did. The sleeves are long enough to hide my cold hands and I 'm able to wear layers underneath for warmth. It still looks good. My L covers my butt( 5'6 '', 34DD, short arms, 145 lbs.) Love the visor to shield my glasses. This will be comfy to wear in summer storms, too... the pit zips are handy, 2 outside large zippered pockets. The coat is not heavy but it is substantial.

I bought this for a trip into the rainforest, and wore it on a boat trip that took us underneath the Iguazu falls in Brazil where we got I can ’ t even count how many gallons of water dumped on us at once, and it not only kept me dry but my phone too in the pocket. If that ’s not a testament to how great this rain jacket is I don ’ t know what is! Also it packs down so small which is super convenient and makes it easy to take on trips where ounces count. Can ’ t recommend enough!

[ Ordered a size bigger as I am a curvier woman. I usually struggle to find jackets that do n't make me look like a box or that I can actually zip over my hips. This was perfect because it has the waist synch and it's the perfect weight for Northwest weather!

[ I love this jacket. It's a perfect weight to layer warmth underneath, or keep yourself cool on warm rainy days. It fits beautifully. I prefer light colors for visibility in stormy conditions, so I got the white/tan one. The internal drawstring at the waist is flattering. The hood WILL NOT blow down in wind. I wish they did n't use so much velcro on the front tab covering the zipper, but I do like the low profile effect of it, so it's a wash. I am 5'8 '', 125# and I got the small.

I am absolutely in LOVE with the color and warmth of this jacket! Just finished a Utah 10K wearing it, the weather started at 35 degrees with partial Sun and wind, and ended at 41 degrees. I wore this jacket with just a t shirt underneath, and stayed at the perfect temp the entire run!!! Omg I need more of these babies! I loved that I could fold up the hood, and all of the pockets. My last favorite detail is the hidden red buttons, as they are so cute and such a small but fun pop of color that can be hidden:)

The fit is amazing! I had to exchange the size and it was worth the wait. Living in Washington state the weather is starting to look amazing. The jacket is very light weight and layering is not a problem. This jacket will be used for both my races coming up Beat the Bridge and Rocking Roll half marathon!

I REALLY like this jacket. The material is so light for a rain jacket/wind breaker. I wouldn ’ t recommend it in heavy rain, but lighter rain yes. But it packs down so small it ’s easy to stick in your vest or just wear with the backpack straps on it so it ’s there if any wind or storms pop up.

My daughter and I both used this jacket in a 50 mile race in Montana. Thunder storms in the morning, rain and hail in the afternoon. Not waterproof but kept you warm enough in bad conditions.

This rain jacket is super impressive. When it comes to traveling, camping, hiking, or even exploring new cities, countries, etc. You ca n't beat the portability of this jacket. It is super thin and light making it easy to roll up and store into any type of bag weather it's a backpack, purse, or even large fanny pack. Even for being so light and thin, it easily stops water from getting through. I 've had zero issues with any type of moisture getting inside either due to prolonged periods of water exposure or leaks through any seals and stitching. I will say, because it's so thin, in colder weather, you would need a warmer layer underneath to act as insulation. That being said, you might need to get one size up than normal so it can fit over any layers you need. Also, if you are traveling through any thick brush or scraping up against rocks, you need to be careful about scraping or snagging any sharp/rough surfaces too hard to prevent any micro/macro tears in the material. Being so thin, it's not super durable, but it's not very easily torn either. Overall fantastic product and highly recommend

This is a super light, rain shedding jacket. Is it 100% water proof? No, but no rain jacket is. It ’s breathable, and with proper mid layer moister management, you can hike all day in the rain and be as dry as you would be in any other rain jacket. Pairs great with alpha direct layer underneath.

Rob W.
I needed a jacket that would perform in a variety of extreme environments when going inside was not an option. This jacket filled this role perfectly and has kept me dry while exploring the north Maine Woods more recently while hiking through the cloud rain forest in Costa Rica. On a cool rainy day, you can keep warm with all the vents closed and a puffy underneath. While in warmer humid weather, just open the massive vents on the sides and keep dry while still being able to `` breath '' and stop sweat from soaking you from the inside out. It is very weight efficient, easily packed, and well cut for the active user. The chest pocket is also a favorite feature of mine to safely store a cell phone while on the move yet keeping it easily accessible.

Odysseus
The new 3L Fabric is a huge improvement over the older Foray, it's robust, has just enough stretch, and overall is impressive. I was somewhat hesitant as they moved away from Gore but seeing it in person I am 100 percent a fan and it's better in every way. The only improvement, and OR please make this happen, is the branding. Make a Blacked out version without the contrasting logos, that would put this jacket as the best among the best.

I have the Black version and will use it for hiking in the Pacific Northwest, but also as an emergency shell while travelling for business.

Uncle Rob
[ Employee of mountainhardwear] Rain jackets are simple things. We expect them to be lightweight, packable, breathable and to not fail. But, when you add simple but effective features like stretch fabric and pit zips? Now you 've got my business. The Stretch Ozonic fits well leaving a little room for layering underneath. Some rain jackets are like saunas for me, so when I start to steam I love having pit zips to regulate my personal humidity. This does it for me.

I used this coat as a great shell layer while climbing the Grand Teton and I would n't wish for anything else! It was perfect!

This shell has proven a perfect addition to time in the elements where protection is critical and weight is a factor. I have used this on a several volcano ski missions this past summer and spring. It packs light and provides the summit protection needed when wind is ripping and body temps are dropping. Marmot allotted a good amount of pockets without going overboard and the pit zips provide ventilation that allows you to tune your protection on the move without having to stop to layer up or down. When it comes to rain protection, it's hard to beat Gore. It also vents well for active pursuits.

[ I am 5 ’ 4 ” and 155 and I was worried the small would be too tight, but it ’s the perfect fit. I can ’ t believe how light the jacket is, but felt the warmth right away. The material is super thin, so I ’ m going to try my best to be careful with it.

[ It is exactly what my husband wanted and he can comfortably layer it over the sweater. It is true to size and is perfect to pack in a bag as a windbreaker or rain jacket for the unexpected weather that you did not plan. He plans to keep it in his car.

Bought this for cycling in the light rain. Nice fit and weight. I 'm 6' 3 '' and 200 lbs. and a large is a nice slim fit. Packs down small and is easy to stow. Not 100% waterproof, but kept me mostly dry on a 3 hour downpour bike ride. If you 're on the husky side, you might size up to an XL.

[ Very happy with this coat. It breathes very well so you do n't feel like a wet sock during a humid/raining day. The color looks great and it does take a little bit get used to the zipper being opposite than normal.

I think Colombia is the only one that makes a fleece lined raincoat and I absolutely love it for cold rain. You CAN layer in other rain coats but when you just want a quick trip to take the dogs out in the rain in the cold weather nothing beats a warm rain coat when you don ’ t need a heavy winter coat. Keep making them!

[ I recently got the Columbia rain jacket, and I ’ m really impressed. It ’s cute, comfy, and functional. I ’ m 5'7 '' and 175 lbs, and the large fits me perfectly with plenty of room to layer underneath. The material feels well- made and durable. I also appreciate how it builds on design elements from their other jackets that I liked, such as the cinched waist. I haven ’ t had the chance to test it in the rain yet, but so far, I ’ m very happy with my purchase!

[ I originally bought a black XXL because I 'm typically an XL and I wanted room for a sweatshirt underneath. It was waaay too big. I returned it at the store and after trying them on I got a Large in Stone. It is still comfortable with a sweatshirt underneath and the slightly fitted look creates a better silhouette. The stone is really pretty and a nice departure from typical black. It kept me warm in 37 degree weather yesterday. I spilled salsa on it and it came right off without staining since it is rain- proof material — hoping that will keep the stone color clean.

i use the Helium Rain Jacket in addition to a 700 fill goosedown esp. when i ride out into wilderness. while it will not protect against sheer downpours, it will if you 're under a tree! plus, in conjunction with the puffer i stay super warm and dry while packing small and light. imperative on a horse!

[ As a rock climber, I need my adventures to be flawless& refined. The Helium rain jacket packs down into its pocket& I can clip it to my harness for instant on hand protection from the unpredictable Colorado weather. I 'm often stuck between a small& medium in other brands sizing but this is a perfect fit. I 'm 5'4 '', 126lbs 36 '' chest& it is Perfect! I love the color too!

[ This is a great rain/wind jacket. It's lightweight, does the job and-- best of all- quiet! Too many rain jackets are just loud and deafening to wear. Not this one. It has quickly become my go- to jacket for brisk, windy days when there's a potential for rain.

[ Employee of columbia] Holy cow, this jacket is so cute! I didn ’ t necessarily love the photos online, but I went into the store to get something else and ended up trying this on. The fabric is amazing, it feels exceptionally well- made, and it ’s super cute on. I have a feeling this will be my go- to for the spring and summer.

[ This jacket lives up to every claim. Waterproof, breathable, adjustable fit, and a beautiful color. I 've worn it only in the PNW this far but bought it for a 3 week trip in Scotland. It looks like it will easily pack down and is roomy enough for layering.

Beautiful jacket for PNW
I walk alot( 6- 10 miles a day) in the rainy PNW. I am picky about my rain jackets. This one is very nice. I like the fit, the length( over the fanny... important where it rains alot), and has snaps at the bottom sides to allow for a longer stride or use of steps. I would say that it runs a bit large though the fit is loose too.

I bought this jacket for a 10 day trip through Scandinavia. The jacket proved to be the best as it rained a lot! I love the fabric is breathable and doesn ’ t get hot& sweaty like most raincoats.

When selecting a lightweight backpacking rain jacket, consider features such as waterproofing, breathability, and packability. Look for jackets made with advanced materials that offer both protection from rain and allow moisture to escape. Additional features like adjustable hoods, cuffs, and ventilation zippers can enhance comfort and functionality during your outdoor adventures.
Choosing the right size for a lightweight backpacking rain jacket involves considering both your body measurements and the type of layers you plan to wear underneath. It's important to ensure a comfortable fit that allows for mobility while also accommodating additional layers for colder temperatures. Many brands provide sizing charts that can help you find the best fit based on your measurements.
Lightweight backpacking rain jackets are designed to provide protection against rain and wind, making them suitable for a variety of weather conditions. However, they may not offer the same level of insulation as heavier jackets, so they are best used in mild to moderate temperatures. For extreme weather, consider layering with additional insulation or opting for a more robust jacket.
Lightweight backpacking rain jackets are typically made from synthetic materials such as nylon or polyester, often treated with waterproof coatings. Many jackets also feature breathable membranes that help wick moisture away from the body while keeping rain out. Understanding the materials can help you choose a jacket that balances weight, durability, and weather protection.
Yes, lightweight backpacking rain jackets are versatile and can be used for various outdoor activities beyond hiking, such as camping, cycling, or traveling. Their packable design makes them easy to carry, and their waterproof features provide protection in unexpected weather. Just ensure that the jacket's fit and features align with the specific activity you plan to engage in.
Lightweight backpacking rain jackets are designed for portability and ease of movement, making them ideal for backpackers and those on the go. In contrast, heavier rain jackets often provide more insulation and durability but can be bulkier. The choice between lightweight and heavier options depends on your specific needs, including the duration of your activity and the expected weather conditions.
