There are some days — like today — when the forecast calls for rain, but it’s still 80 degrees out with 80 percent humidity. A sweater would be insane, and a raincoat might be a bit much, too, but this nylon anorak — made with a highly breathable waterproof finish that Patagonia calls H2No — is the kind of simple layer that’ll keep you dry without overheating. Note that Patagonia is generally pretty unisex; women can just go down one size from the men’s.
We especially like it in the navy, though it’s available in fewer sizes.
