[pct-l] rain jacket for PCT in Oregon/Washington

[bert]

Hey PCT:

I will be hiking Oregon/Washington on the PCT in Aug/Sept this year. I usually take a DriDucks jacket hiking, but am a bit worried about the DriDucks jacket being substantial enough on the spine of the Cascades for 700 miles. Wondering if I should take my REI Kimtah Event jacket for the rain/cold I hear about up there. Oops, it weighs a pound! What do other PCT hikers take for rain? Is the Kimtah too heavy or just the right amount of protection. I have only taken the Kimtah on canoe/kayak adventures, never backpacking. Thanks,
