Hey All,
I am planning on summiting Mt. Shasta in late May. This will be my first mountaineering attempt, though I am a fairly experienced backpacker. For my backpacking "hard shell" I've been driducks, but I've become disappointed with it as it wetted out after two days of rain in Glacier NP.
I'm looking for a lightweight hard shell that can double both for mountaineering purposes and as a decent rain jacket. I've been thinking about the ether driclime, but I can't find many reviews for it online. I'm not sure it will suffice as a rain coat. Does anyone have any experience or opinion about this jacket? Or any other suggestions with a price tag of <$200?
Thanks!
