If there’s one thing we know up here in Cascadia, it’s rain. Heavy rain and light, misty drizzle and sideways torrent, we’re like Eskimos and snow: dozens of words for the condition we deal with most. Thankfully, we also have a lot of fine raingear to choose from. A new favorite is the Elka in a lightweight sport fabric from Norse Projects. Based on a classic Danish piece, this Elka is 100% waterproof PVC, for hard-shell protection from the elements. It combines simple function with some playful style. Layer up and head out. This jacket runs true to size, but is slightly shorter than the classic model.
