is this jacket light enough to use in the summer for rainy days?

I wouldn't use it in the summer. It has just enough insulation to make you hot in the summer.

No sir. It has a soft inside liner. Great for 50f weather, when it's cooler toss a sweater on underneath and your good. I starting wearing this when I was in South Louisiana, September.

This comforter should be perfect for this weather, its light and only provide medium warmth.

I would think it could withstand some rain - however, I haven't tried that as we use a Barbeque grill cover (that also covers the light) whenever we're not using the grill.

It's probably good in a light to moderate rain but would get soaked in a heavy rain.

It wouldn't be the best, but it might work. Its not very packable. I have a Columbia Men's Glennaker Lake Rain Jacket for a windbreaker/light rain when I go fishing and think it would probably be better for you. Its VERY packable, actually has a pocket you can shove the whole jacket in to. Plus is has Omni-shield too.

Patricia,there is full rain fly for light to moderate rains; i wouldn't use the tent during extreme downpours without additional protection.Irina

I haven't used it in the rain but it is of sturdy construction so I would say you should be fine in the rain.

Yes, in light rain. I use an umbrella in heavy rain and the contents of the bag stay dry.

I wouldn't worry about a light rain as I've not experienced any problems. Heavy rain not so sure . . . but very easy to take the two bands off that hold in place and stash in a safe place (raincoat pocket; storage compartment, etc.). They supply two extra bands, and you could take a small Ziplock snack-sized baggy, and use one of the extra bands to hold baggy in place until rain comes and then use both to cover the computer.

light rain yes, heavy rain no. This tent is a good value for the money. My scout troop bought twelve tents and so far so good, we are pleased especially for the price.

I haven't used it with rain, I use it as a sun protection, I'm sorry! But I think it should not be good for heavy rain since it is not plastic. ..

Light rain is not a problem, but its not very big for heavy rain and wind driven rain

It will probably do fine in light rain or drizzle but I don't believe that it will stay dry inside if the rain is heavy.

The back of it is made of neoprene or something like it so I'm not totally sure, but I personally would use it in a light rain!

It is ok for short times in rain. I ride a motorcycle with it and it soaks through pretty quick in moderate rain. I.m not super impressed with the jacket overall.

Nah, it's fine for the summer. You can leave the rain fly off and just use the inner mesh part of the tent.

It should withstand a short time in the rain. The outer fabric is some sort of plastic weave and there's probably some structural cardboard in between that and the inner padding. I doubt the rain would make it much past the outer layer very quickly. The weak point is the zipper since it's not a waterproof or even water-resistant design, which significantly reduces the amount of time it's likely to protect its contents. Personally, I'd consider it acceptable for emergency light water protection, but not much more than that.
