Patagonia Rainshadow Jacket Review

Landing in the middle of their rain shell collection, Patagonia's Rainshadow Jacket slots in as a protective but comfortable option for everyday wear and activities like hiking and backpacking. We brought the women’s version of the 3-layer shell backpacking in Colorado’s Indian Peaks Wilderness and came away with mostly positive feedback: it offers great wet-weather assurance, is stretchy and mobile, and looks good to boot. The brand’s own Torrentshell is strikingly similar and costs $50 less, but the Rainshadow is noticeably less crinkly and stiff. Below we outline our experiences with the Rainshadow. To see how it stacks up to the competition, check out our articles on the best rain jackets and best women's rain jackets.
