PRELIGHT 2.5L LT JKT W

The TEXAPORE ECOSPHERE PRO fabric handled a sudden downpour beautifully, and I love how breathable it stays during steep climbs—no clammy feeling at all. It’s become my go-to layer for unpredictable weather.

This jacket packs down so small I barely notice it in my daypack, yet the fabric handled a sudden downpour with no wet-through. Perfect for those unpredictable weather days on the trail.

It's the TEXAPORE ECOSPHERE PRO that sells it for me—shed every surprise shower on the ridge without a single damp layer underneath. Glad I didn't need it during the sunny stretches, but it crumpled into my pack's lid pocket like nothing was in there.
