I've never found a rain jacket that doesn't wet out.? I stick with cheaper rain jackets of no particular brand and use an umbrella.? It's been a game changer?for me.

My husband and I are in the market for new backpacking rain jacket our last ones from Eastern Mountain Sports seems to be leaking where the pack straps rest. Anyone have suggestions for lightweight, preferably waterproof jacket with tips? I'm trying to avoid spending an arm and a leg for the one brand that is probably the best but not very lightweight.? We go back and forth between buying an expensive one and just continue to be willing to buy cheaper ones that will only last for a few seasons. Yes, it rains often will we back pack:-)
