budget is $400. location Canada.
I need a raincoat for backwoods hiking, camping, canoeing. I have been cheap in the past and want to make sure I get the right jacket. I have been miserable on trips in the past because of my poor choices (buying a MEC brand for example).
is Arc'teryx as good as it seems? Carhart seems too affordable to be BIFL. I am looking for advice from outdoor enthusiasts.
please give me specific product suggestions within these brands or options that you think I am overlooking from other brands.
EDIT: Thanks you all very much for the quick responses - this is one of the best subs on reddit by a long shot. Majority loves Arc'teryx. Clearly they command the price point they do for a reason - people stand by their gear. Patagonia I am going to look hard into as well as I think Arc'teryx could very well be comparable but, again, much more expensive.
EDIT 2: Spoke too soon? There is a lot of controversy over Arc'teryx customer service (in recent years). I am not hearing many bad things about Patagonia. And now people have flooded a lot of brands into the comments I have never looked into. This thread didn't make it much easier, but I took Carhart out of the mix, I think intended usage and fit are not what I am looking for. Despite them being durable and thought of as quality.
Red six is no more
When the doctor suggested surgery
and a brace for all my youngest years,
my parents scrambled to take me
to massage therapy, deep tissue work,
osteopathy, and soon my crooked spine
unspooled a bit, I could breathe again,
and move more in a body unclouded
by pain. My mom would tell me to sing
songs to her the whole forty-five minute
drive to Middle Two Rock Road and forty-
five minutes back from physical therapy.
Sheβd say, even my voice sounded unfettered
by my spine afterward. So I sang and sang,
because I thought she liked it. I never
asked her what she gave up to drive me,
or how her day was before this chore. Today,
at her age, I was driving myself home from yet
another spine appointment, singing along
to some maudlin but solid song on the radio,
and I saw a mom take her raincoat off
and give it to her young daughter when
a storm took over the afternoon. My god,
I thought, my whole life Iβve been under her
raincoat thinking it was somehow a marvel
that I never got wet.
I know that it typically gets panned for being to plain and drab and I agree that with the overcoat, it's a bit boring. BUT, I am so loving the dress Claire made out of the 1960s raincoat. The high neck blouse with the light blue/gray waistcoat it so gorgeous to me and I just love the pleats in the back. After doing some research on it, I have found that there are different versions of this costume.

The current rain jacket (zeta sl) I have feels damp when wet and has a small tear near the pocket. I'm thinking of purchasing an Arcteryx Beta ar jacket for myself. I currently live in the pnw, but will be moving to Pennsylvania next year. Looking to do mountain biking and going around town on a rainy day.
Hey, so I just moved here. Everyday use, cheap. I was wondering where I can buy a raincoat for cheap everyday use?
