We fend off torrential downpours with The North Face Resolve 2 Jacket. The waterproof and breathable DryVent 2L shell fabric allows sweaty vapor to escape from within while shrugging off heinous weather on the outside. At less than 15 ounces, this jacket packs easily without weighing us down on long treks. An interior mesh lining provides a buffer between our baselayers and the outer fabric, and a hem cinch-cord battens down the waist. The North Face used a fully adjustable hood to round out the Resolve 2 Rain Jacket's features and ensure we stay bone-dry even in nasty weather.
