Of the suggestions, REI is the first stop since I have one easily accessible.&nbsp;</p> <p>But <b>Suz</b> and <b>JAileen</b> have made a point. And JAillen's climate sounds close to mine. Maybe I just need to start carrying an umbrella instead of my borrowed coat. That may be the most comfortable option, and I already have good ones. I just got out of the habit, although one is always in my car.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, thanks! Cute. Sold out though...and I don't think it is 98 when it is raining in Seattle! ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-summer-weight-raincoat#post-2393697 Sun, 17 Aug 2025 17:22:56 +0000 Julie 2393697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have an unlined, lightweight gear raincoat from Marmot (via REI) that I layer with a lightweight puffer when it's cooler. My previous Marmot one lasted for over a decade so I recommend!<br /> One thing to consider for summer wear is armpit zippers. I think those help a lot with air circulation and prevent overheating. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-summer-weight-raincoat#post-2393694 Sun, 17 Aug 2025 16:00:27 +0000 Suz 2393694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one from Columbia -- pure gear. Not really fashion wear. And I would hate to wear it in the extreme heat+humidity....back east I tended to carry an umbrella on days like that in summer instead of wearing a raincoat. But something like this can be invaluable.&nbsp;</p> <p>Another option might be a poncho.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.sanponcho.com/products/legacy-poncho-waterproof-rain-jacket">https://www.sanponcho.com/prod.....ain-jacket</a></p> <p>I also have a lightweight packable rain coat -- it is not 100% waterproof but it does keep me dry for a reasonable length of time. Again, I wouldn't say it is for 100F + humid temperatures but it is fine up to a point.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-summer-weight-raincoat#post-2393689 Sun, 17 Aug 2025 15:26:23 +0000 JAileen 2393689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second REI. &nbsp;Most fashion raincoats are not waterproof. &nbsp;Having said that, I lived along the Texas Gulf coast for ten years so I know heat, humidity and rain. &nbsp;I never wore a raincoat there in summer. &nbsp;I only used umbrellas, and I had them stashed everywhere. &nbsp;I still have most of them because now I live in the high desert and never use an umbrella, only a waterproof jacket, from REI. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-summer-weight-raincoat#post-2393687 Sun, 17 Aug 2025 15:13:15 +0000 Angie 2393687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live in wet Seattle, on foot all the time, and have lots of raincoats! My lightweight one is from Kate Spade and it's AMAZING!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-summer-weight-raincoat#post-2393655 Sat, 16 Aug 2025 21:49:09 +0000 kkards 2393655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I gave one that’s super lightweight from Outdoor Research-and I’d wear it when it’s mid 70s, but beyond that nope. But I have a rain poncho that I wear for those occasions when the jacket is just too much. It’s just a cheap clear one-zero fashion but it keeps me dry and it’s cooler than an actual jacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-summer-weight-raincoat#post-2393648 Sat, 16 Aug 2025 19:38:45 +0000 Lisa 2393648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perhaps Columbia, LL Bean, or Eddie Bauer? Sometimes I see lightweight raingear in their collections. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-summer-weight-raincoat#post-2393637 Sat, 16 Aug 2025 18:58:18 +0000 Kate 2393637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>REI. You can find light weight, breathable, waterproof, and windproof, hooded jackets. My husband, who's an avid cyclist, needed one and found it there. I wanted something similar just as a rain jacket, that I could bear to wear in our summer heat and humidity, when we have thunderstorms that blow up quickly.</p> <p>When I was there recently, I did see some longer ones that might fit the bill for what you want. Go to the cycling section and see what you can find.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-summer-weight-raincoat#post-2393632 Sat, 16 Aug 2025 16:19:36 +0000 Peri 2393632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one I stole from my husband and I thought that was good enough, but this summer has been so rainy I've started thinking maybe I should get one of my own. I've always avoided this because it seems an oxymoron of the fashion world, as in, anything light and breathable enough to stand to put on when it's in the 90s would not be able to be even water resistant. How? If air can get in, won't rain? The stolen one gets a "C" in both categories.&nbsp;</p> <p>Essentials: <ul> <li>length to top of thighs or maybe mid-thigh.&nbsp;</li> <li>hooded</li> <li>breathable</li> </ul> <div>Any suggestions?</div> </p>
