Key Features and Specifications

The shell is made from DryVent fabric, a proprietary waterproof and breathable material that keeps moisture out but allows sweat to escape, minimizing clamminess during high activity.

Its cut is relaxed yet functional, allowing for layering underneath without feeling bulky. The jacket offers adjustable cuffs, a drawcord hem to seal out drafts, and a hood that fits comfortably over helmets or hats. Two zippered hand pockets provide secure storage, while the front zipper is protected by a storm flap to guard against wind and rain.

The black color is classic and versatile, suitable both on mountain trails and urban environments. Care is straightforward—machine washable on gentle and designed to maintain performance after multiple washes.

Practical Use and Style

This shell jacket excels on wet hikes, travel in unpredictable climates, or everyday commutes when rain is expected. Its balanced weight and breathability mean it rarely overheats, even during strenuous activity. While it’s not insulated, layering with fleece or base layers adds warmth without bulk.
