Why We Love This Deal
If you look through the rankings of Men’s Journal’s favorite rain jackets, you’ll quickly see a pattern: most of them are available at REI. The retailer knows how to spot a winner, but that wisdom is also seen in the retailer's own product design department. That's why we were excited to see this REI-made rain jacket get marked down by 40% during the Co-op's Cyber Week sale.
The REI Co-op Campwell Rain Jacket is now just $95 in all three of its colors. It’s both windproof and waterproof, and perfect for down south, where getting wet is more of a threat than the cold itself. It's been designed to comfortably layer over warmer jackets or sweaters, but if you need something more all-in-one, we'd recommend the brand's Stormhenge insulated jacket instead.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Sizes Available: From small to 3XL
- Color Options: Green, burgundy, and tan
- Fabric: Two-layer nylon
- Waterproofing: PFAS-free DWR
- Windproof?: Yes
- Best Use Case: Perfect for windy, rainy places that aren’t snow-heavy
The rain jacket uses a two-layer Bluesign-approved nylon shell to provide a delightful combination of windproofing and breathability. It’s treated with Durable Water Repellent (DWR) that was made without PFAS, eliminating the worry of health or environmental impact they could have. The overall construction is an attractive jacket that isn't heavy enough to weigh you down, and all while providing comprehensive protection.
There’s a tendency to want to grab something intensely warm for this part of the year. But a white Christmas is more of a movie convention, especially if you live south of Tennessee or so. This jacket has a polyester lining for a hint of warmth, but doesn’t overshoot the mark. If the thing that’s really biting you is colder mists and high winds, this Campwell is likely the better solution for you.

What Shoppers Are Saying
But how does it perform? One REI shopper going by the name Wild Land Seeker said they considered the jacket good for serious rain and remarked that it’s “tough and rugged for going out on a rainy day.”
Another shopper pointed out that you don’t have to go out with this Campwell alone, “I got this to wear over a Fjallraven Expedition jacket when it’s windy and or raining.”
The REI Co-op Campwell Rain Jacket is under $100 right now. That makes it an excellent choice for those of us not in the depths of winter. Make sure to get yours before the sale ends on Dec. 8, because prices will be soaring back up.
