GEAR PICK OF THE WEEK

Patagonia Torrentshell 3L

The Patagonia Torrentshell 3L (men’s / women’s) is a well-priced and durable rain jacket. Its laminated 3-layer construction is highly protective in sustained rain, but the jacket still feels light and breathable. Because it’s so versatile and such an awesome value, the Torrentshell is the one we picked as our best overall on our Best Rain Jackets list.

The best part - you can get the Torrentshell for just $143.20 right now using your REI Coupon.
