The best overall rainjacket of 2025?
The Torrentshell 3L is one of the cheaper patagonia rainjackets. We believe that just this makes it so good!
For about half of what most great rainjackets go for, the Torrentshell 3L is an exceptional choice. It’s lightweight and durable while still being basically impenetrable by wind and rain. unlike many of its competitors, this jacket will still keep you dry even after alot of wear if properly cared for and the flap covered zipper-system will stay usable and rainproof even longer than the zippers of modern high-tech rainjackets.
As usual for modern rainjackets, patagonia uses a hydrophobic material. when it rains, the dropslets roll right off the jacket, making it waterthight even in the heaviest rain. We have tested this jacket in harsh scottish weather and didn’t get wet once.
Apart from being waterthight, it also keeps out the wind, making it suitable for storms and windy weather.
You wont run into problems when it gets warmer, since this jacket is breathable and has zippers under the arms that can provide airflow if opened (while still keeping you dry!)
The jacket fits a bit loose, making it great for layering while not being too large. Furthermore it’s very adjustable with the help of elastic drawstrings you can find almost everywhere on the jacket.
This jacket is great for beginners. The combination of its relative affordability and great quality is why we list it as the overall best for 2025.
