Now THAT'S a proper rain jacket!
What do they get for those now $350?

Mine is basically the entry level model with the "worst" version of the Gore-Tex, called the Paclite. They retail for $250, but I found mine at REI on clearance for $170. There are two other versions of the same jacket that have better Gore-Tex systems that go for $350 and $500, I believe.

Thought I'd bring back this thread and add a +1 for the Filson. Just got the same one Moses borrowed as an early X-mas gift from the in-laws. I don't have the liner, but haven't needed it yet anyway. Great classic/classy jacket and it definitely keeps the rain out.
