Rain Jacket Question

Hi! I am trying to decide between spending $270 on a new triolet rain jacket or $70 on a Fall 2020 Pluma Rain Jacket. I know rain jackets don't always hold up the best, but wondering if the Pluma would still be good after 6 years for $200 cheaper... hard choice would love your thoughts! thank you!

looking for barefoot shoes for a month-long backpacking trip in the Sierras with a 60-70 pound pack

Hi! Title says most of it. I will be instructing a course and all the other instructors wear approach shoes. I have only worn barefoot shoes for years and the thought of wearing approach shoes for a month sounds quite uncomfortable. What recommendations do you have for which shoe to get? Looking for good grippy tread, a higher stack height to help with sharp rocks, and something durable. Thank you thank you thank you! this is a nightmare to figure out and I so appreciate all the help :-)

looking into Lems Trail Thrasher and Trail Blazers mostly... and maybe some Scarpa Rapid LT Approach Shoes as backup
