Embracing the unpredictable elements of shoulder season hiking requires reliable, packable waterproof gear. The Firewall Light Jacket, crafted from robust 3-layer Proflex fabric, defies abrasion from pack straps while maintaining a lightweight, supple, and quiet profile. The knitted backer fabric ensures a soft feel against the skin, enhancing comfort when worn over a t-shirt and facilitating easy layering on cooler days.
Strategically designed for weight efficiency, the jacket includes essential features for effective protection, featuring a hood with a stiffened peak and gaiter to ward off draughts and drizzle. The single-handed hood cinch, allowing simultaneous crown and face adjustment, ensures a snug fit in turbulent weather. Extended cuffs with hook and loop adjustment shield hands from chilling winds, and the dual-sided rear hem adjustment prevents spray intrusion during showers. Conveniently positioned, backpack-friendly zipped hand pockets remain accessible even when wearing a pack, and articulated sleeves provide the necessary range of motion for tackling steep scrambles. Compact and lightweight, the Firewall Light Jacket occupies minimal space in your pack while delivering all-day weather protection for diverse mountain adventures, ranging from weekend hikes to hut-to-hut treks.
