Find the Best

Columbia’s waterproof-breathable Omni-Dry membrane and roomy back pocket made this an ideal shell for windy bike rides. All the above plus a drop tail and reflective bits made it our choice for shoulder-season running. And even though it’s not made for snow, we liked spring skiing in it, too. Our only gripe: the zipper pulls are small and the teeth finicky. 9.6 oz
