Takayna Packable Premium Rain Jacket by XTM Australia

Not all raincoats are created equal. This one was built by people who design gear for alpine storms — then refined for women like us, who need it to pack light, fit well, and actually keep us dry on a European walking tour or a soggy day in the Hunter Valley.

At just 330g, it feels barely there — but don’t let the weight fool you. This jacket is fully waterproof, not just water-resistant. That means it’s designed to handle real rain, not just mist. It’s rated 20K for waterproofing and breathability — the highest level — which simply means it shields you from a downpour yet stays comfortable inside. No plastic poncho feeling. No trapped heat. Additional side vent zips under the arms give you even more airflow on muggy days or fast-paced walks, so you can stay dry and cool.

The outer shell is soft and quiet, not crunchy. It moves with you — with just the right amount of give. That little stretch makes all the difference when you're reaching into a bag, climbing steps, or layering over a jumper. It’s made from a high-quality, modern recycled polyester that dries quickly, resists creasing, and holds its shape through seasons of travel. And it’s coated with a PFAS-free water repellent — a safer, skin-friendly finish that does the job without the usual nasties.

Fit-wise, it’s generous enough to go over layers but not bulky. The hood incorporates a firm peak keeping your face well shielded. And it folds into its own pocket, making it a clever carry-on essential.

We know it costs more than a fashion raincoat. But this is not a fashion raincoat. It’s a piece of true performancewear — made lighter, softer, and smarter for women who travel.

Why it belongs in your wardrobe: Because you’ve outgrown packing “just in case” jackets that don’t do the job. This one does.
