The shell is made from lightweight, two-layer DryVent ; with taped seams and a water-repellent finish. All this means you stay dry, protected from the wind and won't get too hot and sweaty in the process - ideal when hiking in shifting conditions. It features a fitted, adjustable hood and a cinch cord hem and elasticated cuffs to keep bad weather out. A brushed knit chin guard means the top of the zip won't become irritating and there are two zipped hand pockets.
