THE LIGHTEST WATER WEAR

To create a six-ounce waterproof jacket (nearly half the weight of others), designers nixed the usual rain-repelling fabrics. Instead they applied a polyurethane coating to a new, strong yet thin material that resembles pantyhose but is made from a nylon yarn so light that 100 miles of it weighs less than one pound. $175; mountainhardwear.com
