It is waterproof, and has pockets on the side that can open to let in air. It also has arm pockets for my keys.

Gore-Text is typically heavier than Polypropylene, but not by much. Expensive, but worth it.

The brand i got was called frog toggs, and they are amazing. they are breathable, 100% waterproof, compactable, they dry quickly, extremely light weight, and really really good priced. they also blocked the wind. they are a backpackers dream. lol. if u plan on going on a backpacking trip, i suggest you check them out

The cheap is actually pretty good.

(we do war games on every outing)

I got lucky with my gear. I found a Gore-Tex Paclite shell for $40 at Sportsman’s Warehouse!! Gore-Tex usually costs about $100-$180, but I found a great price. But for day hikes, I just bring a light poncho or something like that. Even a big trash bag can do the job, but it’s not recommended.
