SYLO Gear Revel Lightweight Rain Jacket The SYLO Gear Revel Lightweight Rain Jacket will keep you dry under the toughest conditions. Although paclite is likely a lot better I have both old and new models of precip and they both have performed equally well. I'm pretty sure the old models used Gortex Paclite.
