Save even more on an already great-value shell.

Usually when you find a shell at this price, it’s in the bargain bin at a big-box store. Which makes the 2.5-layer Venture 2’s performance even more impressive: “I hiked all day in heavy rain, but not a single drop got through,” one Washington tester said after a trip in the North Cascades. Already a great deal at $99, Backcountry has men’s Venture 2s on sale as low as $49.48 (50 percent off) and women’s on sale as low as $54.42 (45 percent off).
