• Weatherproof closures: YKK® front zipper with chin protector and a front storm flap for added protection against rain and wind.
• Secure pockets and accessible ventilation: Hand pockets with YKK® zippers; Napoleon pocket with external YKK zipper access for ventilation without unzipping the main jacket; ID card loop for quick access to credentials.
• Internal organization: Inside stash pockets keep small tools and essentials neatly stored and within reach.
• Mobility-forward design: Articulated sleeves and adjustable cuffs support a full range of motion for climbing, sailing, or manual work.
• Adjustable fit: Hem with elastic drawcord and adjustable cuffs seal out wind and rain while maintaining comfort.
