If you have much money to drop on the new gear, there is an AMAZING Sugoi jacket that's just unbelievable. (I don't work for the company, I'm just amazed at that product.) It's extremely light, sort of a smoky grey color, feels like paper towel for texture, quite weird. Rolls to a tiny bunch in your pocket. TOTALLY waterproof. It changes texture (like paper towel) when it gets wet, too.

The downside, besides the price? It's quite fragile.

It's called the Hydrolite jacket: http://sugoi.com/item/59273/SUG71100F


I got one for my sweetheart last Christmas. I wish I'd get one for myself this year!!
