Needing an upgrade (and a smaller size  ;)), what's the opinions on packable rain gear these days.  I just need a parka and I have owned North Face and Cabela's brands before.  I got out of them what I paid and was satisfied.  I don't like Frog Togs or Helly Hanson and while I like the look of the kayaking stuff JJSolo linked to in another thread, they aren't what I'm looking for.  I may very well go back to NF or Cabela's stuff but just thought I would ask around before I purchase.  Links to brands and stores are good.  (No ponchos.)  Primarily for canoe camping and fishing through the nasty stuff.  I like pockets too.
