It is a rain jacket but here is what I learned after a bit searching..

"2 layer: Good protection, heavy, durable, good breathability, least clammy, affordable.

2.5 layer: Good protection, lightweight, less durable, best breathability, often clammy, often affordable.

3 Layer: Best protection, light weight, most durable, fair breathability, little clamminess, expensive.

It comes down to what you need. I personally have two types of jackets in my gear closet, 2.5 and 3 layer jackets. If there is a light chance of rain and I need decent protection with minimal weight, I'll take a 2.5 layer jacket. If there is a chance of heavy rain and I'll be working up a sweat, a 3 layer jacket is going in. Pants, however, I always settle for a 2.5 layer, just to cut weight. If you live in an area with little rain, a 2.5 layer makes perfect sense. If you live with constant monsoons, a 3 layer really is the way to go. I don't personally use 2 layer jackets, but if you're just hiking around town or commuting, they have a place."
Do not use in dryer. The liner will peel. I know, dumb decision.
is that a rain jacket? why can't manufacture just say what type of jacket it is, instead of listing materials and picture that don't tell you anything.

Edit: And I mean waterproof and windproof still does not help, most fall and winter jackets are windproof and waterproof.. I guess they should put a temperature rating in descritption, or something..

Quote from SaverDaddy :
Its not a rain jacket. Rain jackets use an impermeable membrane like Teflon or PU. These jackets use semi permeable technology that allows vapor to escape from within but prevents water from wetting through. These jackets keep you from wetting out from the inside which is a major issue for people who are doing multi day treks or through hikes.

They are not water proof. They will wet through. It doesn't matter if you buy the most expensive 3 layerjacket on the market, it will wet through eventually.
You seem to be slightly confused. Teflon membranes are used in shells specifically because they are semi-permeable, and you seem to be making a distinction between "rain jackets" and "these jackets" that isn't correct. The only rain jackets that are completely impermeable to water are old fashioned vinyl/PU ones that don't use any type of "membrane" at all and aren't breathable.

2 layer / 2.5 layer / 3 layer shells all use PTFE (teflon) membranes. The differences are purely in terms of the lining/exterior.

What determines whether PTFE membrane-based jackets are waterproof or just water resistant depends on how porous the membrane is.

Normally these jackets have a membrane with a hydrostatic head that is high enough to make them waterproof even in heavy rain (as long as they are properly seam sealed, and except for unusual designs like goretex shakedry where the membrane is on the exterior, they also need to be DWR coated on the outside to be breathable, because once the exterior is wet it will stop breathing).

However, even PTFE membrane jackets can be designed to be more breathable but not completely waterproof if the membrane is more porous. This is what things like gore-tex active/windstopper are.

I live in a usually hot humid area, and the last thing I want on when it is raining is a jacket, unless it is the coldest part of winter. Around here no one wears rain jackets, usually.

Super tempted and actually the perfect color. I work in a building engineering team on the weekends, and sometimes, we have projects that requires us to be outdoors to work on certain projects (e.g. upgrading electronic locks, Tesla chargers, etc). If it's remotely dark outside, they recommend that we put on these ugly super over-sized meshed yellow construction-crew vests; or bring in our own bright yellow jacket. I currently don't own a yellow jacket.

Until the comments section today I had no idea rain jackets are classified with layers.

EDITED: oh no I went deeper into comments. Confusion. Are rain jackets even classified with layers? I don't know anymore. Is this waterproof or just water resistant. I know less than I knew 4 mins ago.

Don't go by layers. A 3 layer ascentshell ( or neoshell pro) jacket is more breathable and lightweight than most 2.5 layer jackets. Columbia outdry is a 2 layer membrane that is more waterproof than most 3 layer jackets but not lighter. Go by the technology being used. Most of these generic 2.5 layer jackets are probably worse in almost every aspect than even goretex. They're pretty good for around town and the occasional hike and priced accordingly.

Might want to add some reflective highlights. In the dark, reflection makes more of a difference than color nod

This is a better deal, IMO:

I actually got that jacket in light gray from the Columbia outlet last month for $23 (now they're $69), it's slightly longer and keeps the pants more dry. I also got this North Face and it fits better and is more for active people since it has venting under the arm pits and close to the waist for better leg movement, so it would work better for joggers or out walking the dog when building up some body heat.
