With spring finally here, hikers across the globe are dusting off their hiking boots and heading into the wilderness.
As the weather warms, it might be tempting to chuck on some shorts and a t-shirt and head out with little thought for the elements. This would be ill-advised: weather can turn at all times of the year, and rain is seldom far away in the wilderness. So, make sure you're not caught short by packing a trustworthy waterproof jacket.
Right now, you can get your hands on The North Face Alta Vista men's rain jacket for just $69.83 at REI - that's 50% off in the spring sales.
This rugged rain jacket is designed to keep you sheltered and dry when the weather turns, without overheating in the summer months.
Its recycled nylon body features a non-PFC, durable water repellent (DWR) finish to ward off the rain while zippered vents maintain breathability. It also aims to keep your head and neck dry with an attached, adjustable 3-piece hood.
This deal aplies to the Alta Vista rain jacket in the stylish Beetroot and Tnf Black Lava Print colorways.
The Alta Vista jacket is also available in women's sizes at its full price of $140.
