Its core technology is a fully seam-sealed waterproof and breathable membrane, ensuring no moisture penetrates through seams or zippers. This is paired with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating on the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface. Combined with adjustable features like the hem, cuffs, and hood, the jacket creates a secure, dry microclimate, allowing you to stay comfortable and focused on the trail ahead.

For maximum effectiveness, store your jacket loosely, not compressed in its stuff sack for long periods, to preserve the DWR coating and membrane performance. Before a big trip, re-activate the DWR by washing with a technical detergent and tumble-drying on low if water stops beading. During high-output activities like fast hiking, use the underarm zips to manage perspiration and prevent internal moisture buildup, leveraging the jacket's breathability.
