I am planning a trip to the island August 28-Sep2, 2010 and would like some advice on a good light-weight, affordable rain jacket. Some considerations are the Marmot Oracle, North Face Venture, or LLBean Waterproof Storm Jacket. Any input would be appreciated as this will be the first trip to the is...

I guess I need to clarify my question. Would a softshell jacket be protection enough, or should I bring a rain shell for my trip August 28 - September 2?

Planning a trip to IR the last weekend in August. I have a North Face Cypher Goretex Windstopper softshell which is water resistant. I also have a heavier Columbia rain jacket which is very good in the rain. Just wondering which would be a better choice to bring.
