One of three versatile colors in which you can get this durable Eddie Bauer rain jacket.

The Eddie Bauer Chopper 2.0 Jacket  gives you plenty of bang for your buck, especially considering it’s priced under $90 — making it one of the best affordable spring jackets, in my book. The real kicker are the functional details designed to keep you dry no matter what. Those include another signature from the brand, the StormRepel® DWR Plus finish that repels water. Plus, you can adjust the hood, cuffs and hem as you please (note the velcro wrists) for an even more secure fit. With one of the best men’s rain jackets out there, the opportunities for wearing it are endless.

That’s the case whether you wear it with dark blue jeans and a rugged Eddie Bauer henley to grab an outdoor beer at a covered sidewalk bar, or if you wear it on the trail with Eddie Bauer hiking pants and perhaps the Eddie Bauer K-6 Boots. Heck, head to the shopping page for the Eddie Bauer Chopper 2.0 Jacket and the brand gives you even more ways to wear it, and that’s a bonus on top of its functionality. The next time you want a jacket that helps you make plans outdoors rather than cancel ’em, snag the Eddie Bauer Chopper 2.0 Jacket.
