There is nothing more refreshing than being on hike when a rain squall comes in and cools you off. That part is always nice. It isn’t so nice when the temperature drops a few degrees and that cooling rain turns into a chilly, warmth sucking drain, which is where this Columbia Watertight Jacket saves the day. It is light enough to carry everywhere, and perfect to shield you against the cold rains that sap your strength.
I keep a Columbia Watertight Jacket in my vehicle. No matter what the weather is, I’m prepared to deal with it. If you have my luck, you only ever have vehicle trouble when it is raining. It is also when my buddies usually call me to help them get there boat out of the water before the storm really hits. Which is why I keep the gear I need to handle a wide range of weather conditions in my vehicle. With a baseball cap and the hood of this Columbia Watertight Jacket up I can keep my head dry and my glasses clear, which is always a bonus. It’s a lot harder to keep your footing if your getting pelted in the eyes with rain.
Even when the temperatures drop I can combine this Columbia Watertight Jacket with a sweater and its Watertight shell gives me decent coverage down to about freezing. I am a bigger guy, so part of that might be some extra insulation on my part as well – but I’m way better off with this Jacket than I am without it.
