Don't let bad weather turn you around.
The trail isn't the place to prove how tough you are by carrying heavy loads, so opt for The North Face's Venture Fastpack Men's Jacket to keep your pack light and your back covered. It sports a waterproof, breathable, and ultralight DryVent 2.5-layer membrane to protect you from the elements and your own sweat, and it has vented hand pockets that help pull cool air through when you're hiking fast and things are getting steamy. Hook-and-loop cuffs and a drawcord hem seal out wind-driven moisture, and an adjustable hood flips up to keep those huge drops falling off the forest canopy from soaking your head.
