The Pitinan rain jacket is a lightweight option for women and teens, weighing approximately 200g. It is crafted from a thin-gauge polyester weave with an internal polyurethane (PU) coating, prioritizing emergency portability over rugged durability. The quick-dry surface helps prevent the jacket from becoming water-logged after use, making it easy to shake off and store once you're out of the rain.
Specifications show a fabric thickness of 0.15mm and a hydrostatic rating suitable for light drizzle and short walks. The front closure and pockets feature polymer snaps, and the hood includes an adjustable drawstring. While the material blocks wind effectively, the lack of taped seams and mechanical venting means it is best used for short-term moisture protection. Highlights include:
- Ultra-low mass for easy inclusion in a handbag or glove compartment.
- Drawstring hood to help provide facial coverage in windy conditions.
- Water-resistant surface that dries quickly after exposure.
The snap fasteners should be handled carefully to maintain their connection to the thin fabric over time. Because the hood does not have a stiffened brim, it may not maintain its shape in very high winds. This jacket is a practical tool for "just in case" weather protection during errands or short outdoor events.
If you prefer a jacket with a more athletic focus and inherent UV protection for running, the Avoogue sunscreen windbreaker is a high-performance alternative.
