I purchased a waterproof jacket with a zip out liner made by Columbia.  You get three different options for a coat with this.  We went south from Faibank last yeare starting on May 29.  It was 84 in Fairbanks, snowing in Denali and then between 40 to 75 for the remainder of the trip.


So as you can see the weather varies.  I purchased my jacket online in April and got 50% off.  Since I live near Chicago and can always use a winter coat, the purchase was worth it for me.  If you really won't be able to use the it again I don't recommend making a special purchase.  Just get a waterproof lightweight jacket of some type and bring a sweater or sweatshiret that you can wear underneath.
