So I am planning to hike the high sierra trail to mt Whitney in early June. I suspect it to be pretty cool at the higher altitudes. I am purchasing the Ghost whisper down jacket, but also looking for an ultra light rain coat from mountain hardwear? Which ones do you guys own and what do you recommend for a light way small pack away?
 
I have the Finder jacket. I picked it up for $20 on Black Friday. It's ok but lacks pit zips and is yet to be tested in the rain.

I am not to worried, I get a big discount at Mountain Hardwear which is why i asked specifically about their jackets ;-)
