Meet the Cloudburst Softshell rain jacket. We're Showers Pass. For nearly 30 years, we've been designing premium jackets to get you outside and adventuring no matter the weather, and if you have yet to hear of us, we're here to impress you with the Cloudburst. In vibrant, saturated colors and men's and women's styles, the Cloudburst is a light, airy rain jacket that will move with you. It is particularly good as a running jacket but is also great for many other outdoor activities, from walking to endurance training. What makes the Cloudburst unique is its four-way stretch knit fabric, bonded to our proprietary waterproof, breathable membrane.
