The revolutionary design eliminates the face fabric, making the GORE-TEX membrane the outer surface. Famously hydrophobic—or ‘water-hating’—that innovative membrane creates persistent repellency: water simply beads up and rolls right off the jacket. Plus a layer less also makes jackets as light and packable as it gets.

That hydrophobic membrane has another great benefit: once the rain stops and the sun starts shining again, a few quick shakes remove just about all the water from your jacket. So whether it’s going on the coat rack at the office or being packed away for your next adventure, it dries fast.

The unique 2-layer construction means your jacket can breathe—and breathe well. Our rigorous testing assures the laminate breathability score as being RET <3, putting it firmly in the best possible category: ‘extremely breathable’. That means sweat vapor can escape more easily, so you stay more comfortable even if it’s intense activity that keeps you moving.
