Sometimes, you need a jacket that’ll keep you alive in harsh conditions while exploring trails deep in the backcountry. Other times, you need a jacket that’ll keep you dry on a quick walk to the corner store. For the first scenario, you need something like this REI down jacket or this Fjallraven puffer—both high-performance layers that’ll keep you warm in rough weather. But for day-to-day wear in milder conditions, you’re better off going with a simple rain jacket with a proven track record like this one from Eddie Bauer that Kohl's just marked down by half.
The Eddie Bauer Packable Rainfoil Jacket is on sale for $50, a 49% discount from its normal price of $99. This sturdy and stylish rain jacket has earned over 500 five-star ratings from shoppers who say it "actually stops rain" from soaking them and also "works well as a windbreaker." It's made from 100% recycled polyester and is available in five colorways, all at the discounted price, in sizes small up to 2XL.

This rain jacket has been treated with an exterior DWR coating that causes water to bead up and roll off the jacket, foiling the rain's plans of soaking through your outfit. While it lacks the beefier waterproofing and multilayer construction of heavy-duty rain jackets, it can handle mild precipitation, and it’s lightweight and easily packable—it even packs down into one of its pockets for storage. Two hand pockets and an interior pocket give you places to store accessories, and the included hood keeps your head dry when rain starts to fall.
Kohl’s shoppers have lots of good things to say about this Eddie Bauer jacket. One reviewer praised its “nice fit” and said, “I needed a lightweight waterproof jacket, and this jacket works great.”

“This jacket has everything I wanted in a rain jacket,” said another shopper who hails from rainy Seattle. They also noted that its “Velcro sleeves and front Velcro keeps you dry.” Another shopper similarly said, “The fabric is amazing and works well as a windbreaker…Love the look and feel!”
We’ll state the obvious: A rain jacket is an absolute must-have. Without one, you’ll be forced to cower under an umbrella for every passing shower. At just $50, this one from Eddie Bauer is a steal, and with its variety of colorways, you can choose one that matches your style (like a bold bright yellow or sleek black). Stay dry and comfortable this winter and beyond—toss one of these capable layers in your cart before your preferred size and colorway sell out.
