Tips

This jacket performs best as a mid-layer or standalone outer shell in conditions where a hardshell is too much. Pair it with a baselayer for high-output activities, and use the chest pocket for quick access to your phone or map. To maintain its water-repellent properties, wash with a suitable tech wash and reapply DWR treatment periodically.
