Sunice rain gear

The Sunice Ultimate Jacket V2, the flagship garment in the Quebec-based apparel makers Hurricane line (the others, categorized by the degree of protection they offer, are Tornado, Typhoon and Storm), is one of those items thats impossible to justify when its hanging on the rack in the shop (the MSRP is a forehead-slapping $500 US, thanks to the fact its Gore-Tex), but really nice to have when you need it.

An impressive 25 per cent lighter than last years already-whisper-thin Ultimate, the V2 barely weighs anything, either in your bag or on your back. Its also fitted with an additional 20 per cent of stretch material, including a stretch lining and a panel of flexible material across the entire back of the jacket, to ensure maximum freedom of movement.
