I try and subscribe to the idea of one tool for multiple purposes. But I've been wondering about bring two rain jackets.

If it were raining all day on a tour, my riding jacket (J & G) would eventually fail and start letting water through. It would be nice to have a more waterproof/less breathable rain jacket to wear in camp or around town or what have you. But packing a second rain jacket just eats up more space. I wonder if it would be worth it?

How many jackets have you tried? Maybe you need a better one.
From what I've read about J&G jackets, is they are not seam taped, so of course they will leak.

Try one with eVent, REI has some on sale right now. If it leaks, return it per their excellent return policy.
