   I need Portland friends to show me a jacket or shell under $150 that is suitable for your weather (and Seattle's). I am not equipped or learned about this type of weather and all of the options confuse me. Halp

   (I have the merino wools and all of the other things)

     Thanks for the ideas!! I will probably get a rain shell

     I might want to get one that I can use for running / hiking, since that’s the only other time I might use such a thing back where I usually live

     I remember how much I dislike large jackets

     I was going to suggest this too. I researched jackets etc. a lot when I got into backpacking.

     BTW, I recommend strongly against Patagonia's breathable waterproof jackets/shells. In my experience, whatever they use for the lining material lasts a couple years and then starts disintegrating completely. If you call their service to try to get the warranty honored, they'll start making up bogus reasons that it was your fault it happened. I saw this with 2 jackets (or was it 3?)

     Seattle native and former REI crew member speaking. Here are three awesome options (the OR is a bit over $150, but they're based here and get our weather really well. I've been wearing an OR shell for everything from skiing to walking the dog for 6 years and it's still going strong):
