Perfect for day hikes and scrambles where the weather remains uncertain, the Downpour Light Jacket delivers the protection and breathability of signature Proflex™ technology in a lightweight, easily packable design. Striking a balance between minimal bulk and exceptional comfort, it remains breathable during intense ascents while providing reliable defence against sudden rainfall, all without weighing down a backpack.
Crafted from supple 2.5-layer Proflex™ fabric, the jacket offers a quiet, breathable feel with a soft, textured backer that sits comfortably against the skin. This makes it an ideal choice for layering over a T-shirt during passing showers. Designed with a clean, streamlined aesthetic, it prioritises essential features without unnecessary extras, ensuring dependable performance in unpredictable summer mountain conditions. The close-fitting hood can be adjusted with a single-handed pull, securing snugly around the crown and face, while a stiffened peak prevents drizzle from obscuring vision. Low-profile hook-and-loop cuff adjustments seal out the elements, extended cuffs provide extra coverage for the hands, and articulated sleeves allow for unrestricted movement. Two pack-compatible zipped hand pockets ensure that essentials remain accessible even when wearing a backpack.
Comfortable and highly packable, the Downpour Light Jacket is an essential shell for any mountain adventure where the forecast remains unpredictable.
