Another rain jacket thread...

I'm having trouble finding a good rain jacket. I've been searching around, found a few things, but they all have extra little features claiming to add "for extra warmth." I don't need that at all, I'm in Florida. I need something light weight, breathable, thin, etc. I am 6'3" and thin; usually a Tall Large fits just fine for a sweater, shirt, etc.

Any stores, brands, etc. I should look at?

Have you seen the recent "rain cape" threads? I am your height, wear a "Large" and find many clothes leave some exposure at the waist. The rain cape seems like a perfect solution.

I have, I'm really looking for a jacket type....something that's fitted around my body. I have more of an issue with my arm length, tall sizes usually solve that problem. I wish I just could find a cheap, light weight/thin jacket to keep the rain off my back.

I actually remember buy a rain jacket at the Gap many years ago. It was super thin, kept the rain out, and you just kind of crumple into a ball and fit into a small little pouch it came with. It was an actually jacket with a zipper. It was great! Would be perfect for biking, keep it in my pannier and take it out when needed.

Blah...

Just get wet you pansies.

The Performance Illuminuite Commuter wont work for you, at least not in the large. I'm 6'0" and usually a medium tall fits me arms perfectly, with a large being a little big in the gut for me. The large commuter fits my arms when outstretched, but doubt it would if I were 3" taller.

For Florida any hardshell rainjacket is going to be way too much. Try a Montane featherlight windshirt. Mine weighs 4 oz's and packs as small as an orange. Mine is called a Montane Marathon, made for joggers, they also make a cyclign version, both work fine. Rain resistant, not waterproof. As long as your pedaling and generating heat, it'll keep you good in all but a an hour long downpour.

You know...this is what I could be looking for. Thanks, I'll have to look into it.

And thanks all for your advice, very much appreciated
