The morning promised blue sky. By the second turn, the trees are saying something less official. This is why the jacket came along, despite the persuasive evidence at breakfast.

A place in the daypack

Patagonia’s Torrentshell 3L is a three-layer rain shell for the uncertain portion of the day. Pack it beside lunch and leave room for the layers you actually wear. A shell addresses rain; it does not replace insulation, sensible route choices, or turning back when conditions deteriorate. There is no prize for noticing the weather last.

- Best for: Day hikes + shoulder overnight
- Season window: Year-round packable
- States / terrain: NE ridgelines
