Are there waterproof jackets that can actually stand up to heavy rain?
#20
imo, if you are working hard (or even moderately) under that jacket, it's gonna get wet inside one way or another no matter what it's made of.

The best solution I've found for rain while I'm backpacking (light weight is very important) is a very light weight jacket (OR Helium) and a rain skirt (a mere 2oz of silnylon - silicone impregnated nylon) that keeps my legs dry WAY better than any rain pants and then I have a small, but very sturdy umbrella fixed to me/my backpack.

Feet are gonna get wet. I have gortex boots, but hard work with 100% humidity and the feet get soaked no matter what you do.
