i came across a Cloudveil rain jacket in pretty good condition at my local Salvation Army. It seems pretty hi tech, but I'm not quite sure which model it is. I don't think it's the drizzle because it has an internal pocket. It doesn't look like its gonna rain in my neck of the woods until at least Sunday, so please share me your thoughts or any Cloudveil experience, as I won't be able to think for myself for a bit…

Climb in the shower with it on :) Cloudviel makes decent stuff, but their marketing is low key I think. Trying to track down a model name and specs is harder than other brands. Trailspace.com may have something. The missing link on used rain gear is how it was laundered by the previous owner. Hopefull it wasn't washed at all, or at least wasn't exposed to fabric softener. In a similar vein, I found a RailRiders rain jacket which was a surprise. It is typical 2.5 layer fabric, but it shows RailRider's design experience in the cut and features. Nothing like a good buy on rain gear— less wailing when you rip it on a branch or get pitch on it.
