I really like my slate gray Patagonia for lightweight protection.

For more serious engagements my Barbour Beaufort is my preference.
You own $450 worth of rain jackets man

So am I the only one who came here thinking this tread was going elsewhere? This is the OT right?

I own a Kühl Saboteur which I use for exactly what you describe. Doesn't look out of place in the office like you just came out of the woods backpacking. Works great with jeans or business casual. I think the stowaway hood really makes it look dressier then a normal hooded rain jacket.


Had a friend at my last job that had a kuhl jacket. It looked great, and I agree it went with biz casual better than any Columbia Patagonia or marmot.

However, as long as you get a conservative color, one of those brands will be fine for what you are looking for. I have a marmot I really like in dark green.

Btw I think kuhl is from Portland, so light rain is more a part of life. So a hybrid type of jacket that is weather resistant but also good looking is practical.

I've got a Columbia that you could wear in a monsoon and stay dry.

There are some nice sailing jackets our there that work well in the rain. One brand is Salty Dog I believe.

The Men's Helly Hansen Royan Coat is a sleek, over-length raincoat to keep you dry on all your urban adventures. A Helly Tech waterproof membrane ensures you don't get bombarded by excess moisture, and fully taped seams help to keep your pack from pushing water through. A DWR treatment on the polyester outer fabric helps out even more. A packable hood zips into its own collar, giving you plenty of options for when you're out on the trail.

So it rains a lot in LA. I just bought this rain jacket and use it all the time. It's light, breathes and can be worn whenever. It's expensive but Acteryx is the Ferrari of rain jackets.

For business casual I have a Dubarry Derg rain jacket in navy. It has a hood that you can hide in the collar. It's been awesome.
