Helly Hansen Verglas Down Jacket 2.0: in the field I've been testing the women's Verglas 2.0 in cactus ... and it's not so puffy that I can't easily wear a waterproof over the top.

For starters, water-repellent, water-resistant, and waterproof are not equal ... breathable but still affordable rain jacket, we really liked the Helly Hansen Seven J Rain Jacket as well.

If you love skiing and you really love doing it in style, you're going to be sorely tempted by the Kvitfjell Race jacket.
