Thread: The ULTIMATE rain jacket

My best raincoat (when new!) was an Aussie hand made one (lots of personal measurements supplied to the maker) by Wilderness Equipment. Back in the 80's it was the ducks nuts. 2 layer Goretex, pit zips, fantastic hood, pockets that DIDN"T fill with rainwater . Went all around the world, and for a 35 day trek in Nepal to 21,500 ft and kept me warm and dry. Unlike a lot of other brands on display on that same trip. But was only great for the first 3 or so years, Then it was all downhill from there.
