EXPDN 3L JKT

Took this jacket on a wet, windy hike above the treeline and stayed bone-dry the whole time, with the Pertex Shield Air fabric letting out steam without letting in a drop. The mountain hood's adjustment tabs stayed put even in gusts that nearly knocked me over.

Rain slashed sideways for six hours on the ridge and I stayed bone-dry underneath, while the Pertex Shield Air fabric let me ditch the vents without turning into a sauna. The cut is trim enough to layer under a pack without binding, and the hood tracks my head movement perfectly. Erik Larsen clearly

I was skeptical about a jacket holding up in wet conditions, but the Pertex Shield Air fabric really does keep me dry without feeling clammy. The fit is trim enough to layer under without restricting movement.
