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.

Yes it is so light! If you take it outside and there is a breeze make sure you have something to hold it down on the inside like a cooler.

As far as I know the pack will fit you, it fits me just fine. It does not come with a rain cover.

Yes it is weather proof and yes it will hold up in rainy weather. I used it all summer in Colorado where it was exposed to all sorts of weather with no problems.

Not bad for waterproof in light rain even though it's only fabric. Buy the rain cover for better protection. the panniers take quite a bit of space when full. We wouldn't be able to put another carrier on as they get quite fat.

I think it is good quality and it's heavier than most lightweight jackets or ponchos. It is not lined, just the shell and I think I was picturing it as more of a coat type rather than just a rain jacket...duh, we purchased a rain suit...haha. But my husband loves it and he thinks it's better than he imagined and exactly what he was looking for. I feel it could tear if you snagged it, but not likely from just putting it on and functioning in the suit doing normal things.

I'm not 100% sure but it would seem likely given the material...it seems fairly water proof to me. I've never worn it in the rain so that's why I say I'm not sure. My opinion would be it would work pretty good in the rain but perhaps not if one were to wear it in an all day rain.

My experiance light rain ithas been ok. I won't purposely let it get soaked.

Yes. This is about as light as you will get for a moderately priced tent that will actually keep you dry in rain and wind. Replace the steel tent stakes something lighter. Figure out a lightweight ground cloth. The floor is relatively thin.

I have and it's wonderful! I have never gotten wet wearing this jacket. I love this jacket because it's not heavy and not hot to wear in the Summer...perfect for Spring, Fall, and Summer.

The color hasn't run one me and I have had I t in all kinds of bad rainy weather. It should work great for you

Its light enough to backpack in, however, I wouldn't use this under 35 degrees.

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.

No, because of the velcro opening, rain can get into the bag. It would not be good under heavy rain, light rain would be ok.

Probably best for light to mid rain and low wind. Great for sun and for showers

I think it is ok for normal weather. If there is light rain then cover with a umbrella, and don't plug the power. It came with rechargeable battery for the LED light, so charge it at night if needed. The table surface is waterproof.
