Designed for day hikes and scrambles in unpredictable conditions, the Downpour Light Jacket delivers the protection and breathability of signature Proflex™ technology in a lightweight, easily packable form. Striking a balance between minimal bulk and exceptional comfort, it remains breathable during fast-paced movement and challenging ascents while offering reliable protection in sudden downpours.
Crafted from supple 2.5-layer Proflex™ fabric, the jacket is quiet and highly breathable, with a soft, textured backer that feels comfortable against the skin—making it ideal for wearing over a t-shirt during passing showers. With a sleek and functional design, it prioritises essential features for venturing beyond the treeline in unpredictable summer conditions. The close-fitting hood can be adjusted with a single-hand pull, contouring around the head and face, while a stiffened peak ensures that light rain does not obstruct vision. The low-profile hook-and-loop cuff adjustments help seal out the elements, extended cuffs provide extra coverage against the wind, and articulated sleeves offer unrestricted movement. Two pack-compatible zipped hand pockets provide convenient access to essentials, even when carrying a backpack.
Lightweight and highly packable, the Downpour Light Jacket is a dependable shell for mountain adventures in ever-changing weather.
