Waterproof, lightweight, and on sale. It doesn’t get much better than that in waterproof, breathable shells - but the Prophecy shell from The North Face is also well-designed and durable. At just 10.4 ounces it’s surprising that this shell still sports a fully adjustable hood, pit-zips (!!! - and I like pit-zips so much better than the chest pocket vents that are common on ultralight gear lately), and both chest pockets and a sleeve pocket that’s perfect for lip balm or an iPod. At just $109.99 I’m even more surprised that The North Face kept the price on this shell so low.
The full warranty and quality from The North Face and both free shipping & no sales tax outside of WA from Altrec make this shell a deal compared to generic shop-brands at similar prices. Also, still available in Blue, Black, and Orange in all sizes S - XL.
