Looking for a light jacket that can handle some rain.

I've been looking for something kind of like the TREW Wyeast jacket (just looked there first because I love their outerwear). I want something for 40-60ish temps that can handle getting rained on a bit. Not sure if I should just get a super waterproof rain shell or a fleece that's got some resistance. I'm kind of stuck because I want something versatile, comfortable, and semi-stylish and there seems to be a hard line between waterproof and functional and stylish and water resistant.

Anyone have something versatile they're particularly stoked on? Anyone have thoughts on that TREW piece? It would be nice to have something comfortable in most conditions rather than something amazing in one.

You should look into the new Monarch 3L line. We're really hyped on this jacket addition to our line.

Arc'teryx atom LT. Super fucking waterproof, super breathable, insanely light, and still pretty damn warm. They're like $180 if you find it on sale. But it was last year at least the next 15-20 years
