With the possible exception of desert residents, everyone needs a rain jacket. A good one can mean the difference between a good day and a bad day. Even if you already have one, having a rain jacket to keep stashed in the office or in the trunk is a good idea, particularly when you can get a well-reviewed jacket from a beloved brand for less than half of what it normally would cost.
The Cotopaxi Cielo Rain Jacket is on sale for $70 at REI, 51% off its $145 list price. This deal is good on four different colorways: bluegrass and silver leaf, fatigue and lemongrass, tempest and moss, and nutmeg. Size availability varies from XS to XXXL , so you might need to click around a bit to see which colors are available in your size.
This jacket is made from PFC-free, recycled polyester coated in a durable water repellent finish that beads moisture on the surface. It has a 10K/10K membrane that provides 10,000 mm/10,000 g waterproof and breathable protection. Together with the full-seam taping, it effectively keeps water out. It’s cut to hip-length, 30 inches long in the back, and has an easily adjustable hood, a zippered check pocket, a pair of zippered hand pockets, an encased sectional elastic at the hem, and hook-and-loop adjustment cuffs to further seal yourself off from the weather.

One shopper wrote that they “spent 10 hours in the rain with this jacket the other week and stayed dry.” It’s a “great outer shell that has enough room to function as part of a system,” and it’s a “great packable rain jacket” on its own as well.
Another customer added that this jacket combines a “sleek, playful look” and “effective waterproofing.” It’s “comfortable to wear as an all-around jacket” even without rain, and “it also travels well because it folds neatly into a flat parcel that takes up little luggage space.”
