From Pathfinder Wiki

For ultralight hikes, an effective rain jacket should be lightweight, waterproof, and easy to pack. Here are several types of raincoats that meet these criteria:

  1. Multifunctional ultralight poncho raincoat, can be used as a backpack cover, sitting mat, or even an emergency tent. Usually made from very light materials.
  2. Ultralight anorak (hooded pullover jacket) raincoat, lighter than a full-zip raincoat. Easy to put on and take off.
  3. Packable raincoats, designed to fold very small and fit into their own pockets, make storage easy.
  4. Hybrid raincoat, combining lightweight material with ventilation panels to increase air circulation and reduce humidity.
  5. High Density Polyethylene (HD and PE) plastic raincoats, cheap, light, easy to fold, but low in durability, only for a few trips/climbs.
