Most Breathable

With waterproof/breathable eVent in the areas that see maximum weather exposure (shoulders, back, and torso) and stretchy, highly breathable nylon in the heat-prone areas (underarms and along the ribs), this hoodless jacket is ideal for snowshoe running, fast hikes, and cross-country skiing. It’s not totally waterproof, but it’s a solid choice for any high-exertion day trip in snow or drizzle. $169; 11 oz.; men’s and women’s S-XXL; rei.com
