Our take
The best-documented lightweight waterproof shell for women here.
Why it made the shortlist
The baleaf Packable is a women's jacket listed as 100% waterproof with fully seam-sealed construction rated over 5000 mm, and a breathability rating of 3000 g per square meter per 24 hours. It weighs about 285 g, packs into its back pocket and has back vents and five pockets that hold a 6.5 inch phone.
Compared with the 33,000ft Packable, it has seam sealing and a stated rating. Against the Zando Rain Jacket, it adds vents and more pockets.
It suits women who want a light, genuinely waterproof shell for hiking and running. The elastic rope hood has a cord adjuster.
What works
- Light at about 285 g
- Back vents release heat
- Packs into its own back pocket
Watch out for
- Women's cut only
- Near the top of the budget
- The catch
- It is a women's cut and sits near the top of the budget.
