What other hosts are saying
3 experts recommend the Arc'teryx Norvan Jacket.
If you're going to be doing Ultras, you can plan on doing some in cold and rain. And staying warm and dry is essential to success. These jackets are not cheap, but they work when you need them and you'll pro only need one for the rest of your life. This is the closest thing to the Arcteryx Zeta LT (discontinued) that I have. It's lightweight, 3 layer Goretex. It breathes well, it blocks wind, its waterproof. I've worn mine through multiple 100 mile races: in the cold and rain and sleet and snow and it's always performed. The beauty or this one is its incredibly lightweight.
