Columbia Microtex Rain Parka

This rain parka suits me perfectly for everyday use and above that, hiking on the AT. The parka's combination of Poly and Nylon configure its Microtex moisture barrier. Its breathability is fantastic. And this parka is completly packable. With a flick of the wrist it turns itself into its own waist pack. The mesh interior makes for great breathability and it makes it extremely light. When combined with a polar fleece it also makes a great cold weather parka. Oh yeah, it's loaded with pockets and it has a wonderful storm hood.
