Armada Kata 2L Insulated Jacket - Women's Olive/Black, M

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: “This is the jacket I grab when I know it’s gonna be wet, windy, and gnarly. The GORE-TEX shell sheds everything, and the 60g recycled insulation keeps me warm without overheating. Tons of pockets, a great fit, and helmet-compatible hood—it’s made for serious resort riding.” When the weather gets wild, we reach for the Armada Kata 2L Insulated Jacket to keep the elements at bay. This resort-ready fortress features GORE-TEX 2-layer nylon ripstop for top-tier waterproof protection that holds strong in pounding snow or sideways sleet. Fully taped seams and YKK® water-repellent zippers lock out moisture, while 60g of recycled polyfill insulation in the body keeps core warmth on lock even when the wind picks up. Inside, the Kata balances warmth and function with a breathable mesh pocket, a secure media pocket with a cord port, and a 4-way stretch powder skirt that seals out deep-day snow. The helmet-compatible hood with a reinforced brim provides extra coverage without blocking vision, and Cohaesive™ cord locks at the hood and hem make quick adjustments glove-friendly. Built with bluesign®-approved materials, recycled insulation, and thoughtful features, the Kata 2L is made for riders who won’t cancel plans when the storm rolls in—they chase it.
