Okay, let's start this discussion about the fabric of this jacket. Made from Gore-Tex Paclite, it's guaranteed to keep you dry. It's also the lightest waterproof, breathable fabric Gore make and as the name suggests, it's extremely packable. So you have a seriously light (400g! about the weight of a stubbie), waterproof, breathable, packable jacket - to us, the Blue Ridge Paclite Jacket sounds like a great insurance policy!
Pack it away in your pack, it doesn't weigh much or take up much room, and if the weather completely craps out, bingo, you're prepared, like a boy scout. This garment really appeals to those who subscribe to the light and fast approach of getting around the hills. It's also a great all round piece for adventure racing, bike riding and even trail running when it's totally grim out there.
