Description
The waterproof-breathability of a backcountry jacket, but with mountains of style for the city. Peach-textured fabric creates a soft-to-touch feel, and the heathered look is a brilliant match for a bright scarf and tall boots. It’s seam-taped with a big shawl collar and hood, so you can confidently head out in windy downpours instead of battling with an inside-out umbrella.
- Face fabric is ripstop polyester with a DWR (durable water repellency) finish to shed precipitation.
- 2-layer waterproof-breathable construction.
- Recycled polyester drop liner inside for smooth layering.
- Fully seam-taped for when the rain really picks up.
- Wide overlapping collar with asymmetric zipper detail and leather zipper pull.
- Zippered handwarmer pockets in case you forget your gloves.
- Internal pocket with snap closure to securely tuck away small items.
- Cuffs have snap closures to keep out cool breezes.
- Centre back length is 70.5cm for size medium.
- Care instructions: Close all zips and Velcro® before washing. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach. Rinse thoroughly. Tumble dry low. Steam iron at medium temperature. Do not dry clean.
Fit guide

Body fit: tight, with no room to spare.
Slim fit: very close fit, with a bit of room.
Regular fit: generous, but not oversized.
Relaxed fit: oversized with lots of room for layers.

Fabric waterproof rating
The standard test for waterproof fabrics uses a standing column filled with water. The figures given are the water column height. A rating of 3,500mm or higher can be considered waterproof. The higher the rating, the more durable the waterproof fabric will be over time. |

Waterproofness
Waterproof garments use waterproof-breathable technologies and are fully seam-taped. Water-resistant garments use waterproof-breathable technologies but their seams are not taped. Water-resistant garments repel water and protect against wind but are not made of waterproof fabric. |

Fabric active breathability
The rate at which a waterproof breathable fabric expels moisture when the inner surface is moist from perspiration. Values under 8,000g/m2/24h provide low performance, 20,000g/m2/24h provide moderate performance and values over 30,000g/m2/24h provide high performance. |

Windproofness
A windproof garment does not allow any air to permeate the fabric. A garment with windproof panels has panels of fabric that are totally windproof, but the rest of the garment may not be windproof. A wind-resistant garment resists some wind, but not as much as a garment that is windproof. |
