- Reviewed by Ultralight Outdoor Gear
Features
- Lightweight 90% recycled polyester/10% spandex double-weave fabric is soft and warm next to the skin, but doesn’t trap heat; the smooth outer face resists abrasion and sheds moisture with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish made without intentionally added PFAS
- Slim, athletic fit with a full-zip, an articulated pattern and a stretchy hood allows for a wide range of movements, especially when reaching overhead or across the body
- Adjustable and stretchy hood with a laminated visor provides coverage and visibility with or without a helmet
- One external, zippered chest pocket and two high handwarmer pockets with mesh backers for ventilation keep goods close at hand and accessible even with a harness or a pack waistbelt
- Low-bulk cuffs stay out of the way when reaching for handholds
- Hem adjusts by pulling a cord in the handwarmer pocket and releases with cord locks at the front hem
- Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, which means the people who made this product earned a premium for their labor
