For around $250 the JakPak costs I would simply get a high performance Goretex Jacket, a high performance Goretex Bivi Bag and a high performance Lightweight tarp or basha.

Total weight would be around 2.2 Kg for the 3 items and costs around $285, which compares quite favorably with the JakPak at 1.4Kg and $250 considering the much greater flexibility and all round comfort.

The basha and bivi would fit quite nicely into the rear game pocket of the jacket
