Eddie Bauer Cloud Cap Rain Jacket

Get proactive. Take a serious look at a lightweight waterproof shell that musters 2.5 layers to increase protection while improving breathability and durability. Active Junky wore this Eddie Bauer model finding a style more like a full-on jacket minus the packing ounces or bulk. All nylon and complete with venting pit zips, Cloud Cap’s front zipper is waterproof while hem and cuffs adjust, unlike many competitive, packable options. With a generous fit and back length of 29”, this one adapts to base and light midlayers to extend its range across seasons. Testers relished dual zippered hands pockets over the open, slash pockets common to rain wear. But, then again, this one’s from Eddie Bauer.
