What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"The Columbia Glenbrook Bend Rain Jacket has lived in the lid pocket of my hiking pack all season and it has quietly saved more than a few days on the trail. The 3K nylon shell handles light to moderate rain without issue, and the fact that it stuffs back into its own hand pocket means it takes up almost no space when the sky clears back up."Pacific Northwest hikers have a saying: there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad gear. The Columbia Glenbrook Bend Rain Jacket is the kind of gear that makes that saying easy to live by. Light enough to forget about in your pack and capable enough to matter when the trail gets wet, this is the shell that earns its place on every outing regardless of the forecast. The 3K waterproof rated nylon dobby shell carries Omni-Shield moisture and stain repellency, turning away rain and trail mess before either gets a chance to settle in. The fine mesh polyester lining keeps airflow moving so things stay comfortable when the pace picks up on a climb. A drawcord adjustable hood and hem seal out the elements from the top down, elastic cuffs close off the wrists without fussing, and zippered hand pockets keep the essentials dry and accessible. When the clouds part and the sun returns, the whole jacket stuffs neatly into its own hand pocket, compact enough to disappear until the next time you need it.
