Looking for a new casual rain jacket (Northface, Columbia, Patagonia...). Preferably hooded. Practical for South Louisiana. Whatcha got OT?

I've been in Colorado too long. I don't own a rain coat or an umbrella.

I bought a light columbia one in tampa. It has one of the hoods that folds down into the jacket when its not being used.

If you want the best, get something with Gore Tex, preferably an Arcteryx. I have the Beta AR and it is insanely well constructed. Mammut/RAB are really nice as well.

If you want a 100 dollar rain jacket that works most of the time, get a Patagonia Torrentshell or Marmot Precip.

Marmot has a good one for around $100 that I've found I like a lot more than my $300 Columbia.

I have the same Patagonia Torrentshell posted on page one. Have it in purple and it looks sharp with the aqua colored logo and zipper.

Very breathable. Unzips under the arm pits. Folds up small and has a hood. Also reasonably priced.
