As easy as it is to lose all sensibility in the excitement of the summer transition, it's important to keep your wits about you. Yes, the weather is improving and there are long, warm days outside on the horizon, but you'd do well to remember that summer isn't a guarantee of perfect weather. That means that rain jackets aren't completely off the menu, so picking the right lightweight rain jacket should be top of your priorities.

Good rain jackets are lightweight, waterproof, and packable into your chosen bag so that you’re never caught out. From Arc'teryx to Y/Project, we've scoured the web to serve up a range of the best throw-on and throw-off rain jackets on the market to ensure your season transition is showerproof but still drippin'.
