I need a good warm rain jacket to use to walk around college in.
I have no idea where to start, any suggestions?
Looking to spend around $70-$80

Get a north face apex jacket. You can wait and get a coupon from dicks and get them for about 100 and it warm

Drive West on I-70 until at the Hilliard Rome exit. Exit Hilliard Rome and drive South. Take left at first light, which should be Fedor/Fisher rd.
Continue approximately a 2/3rds of a mile to the Eddie Bauer outlet store.


Hope this helps.

I second Eddie Bauer. I have a jacket and winter coat from EB and they are fantastic.

Just don't buy a Columbus Bluejacket. More than likely you will take a trip to Detroit, and just lose it in a shootout anyhow. Not worth the time or money.

Lol....I went to a Blue Jackets game the other night, and there were 7 college-age guys that came in an sat a few rows ahead of us, every one of them was wearing a different color of the same North Face jacket. It reminded me of the theme song for Weeds.

Columbia makes nice stuff and that way you don't have a North Face jacket like everyone else on campus.

Marmot makes some nice things some of which you can find on sale for about $100.


Variant is about $110 if you look online.

Are you looking for a cold weather jacket or something to just keep you dry? How much insulation do you need?

I also recommend going to Amazon and searching Columbia mens Jacket.

Found this - " Columbia Men's Watertight Jacket" size XL- only $51 bucks. (around 42% off)






Quite a few other colors available. Just chose these two to give ya an idea what it looks like.


Amazon has lots of sales on Columbia coats.

Still have Amazon up on "Columbia Men's Watertight Jacket" . copied/paste this from Amazon review- " It's actually not bad for cool spring/fall days and passable in cold winter months as long as you bulk up underneath"
"The jacket performs excellent in the rain, it is surprisingly warm (I would wear this from anything over freezing temp as long as you are layered), it breathes well, light and easy to carry, and does pack well too."

"Just got back from a Kilimanjaro hike where we had rain and/or snow for half of our trip, and the jacket worked great--no seam problems, and repelled water as advertised. My hiking buddy spent ten times the price on his jacket from another company, but didn't get any real benenfit. Good buy."

I can give you a good choice on a nice adidas stadium jacket if you want. I have one...probably won't ever do anything else. Awesome jacket.
