DESCRIPTION

When the wind whips up a shower during your return loop to the car, pull out the super lightweight Arc'teryx Squamish Hooded Jacket and get back to the trailhead without seeking shelter. This wind- and water-resistant shell packs into its own chest pocket and weighs less than your tuna salad sandwich, so you won't even notice it in your pack or pant pocket. What you will notice is the instant wind and rain protection when you zip it up, even over your climbing helmet. Articulated, gusseted elbows make sure you move smoothly as you repel off the wall in the sudden rain shower, and the extended back keeps drops out of your pants as you ride your bike home.
