District Vision Ultralight Nylon Wind Jacket - Men's Graphite, XL

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I keep this jacket in my vest on every run where the forecast is questionable. The wide back vent makes a real difference when effort is high and the jacket needs to stay on. The non-PFC DWR sheds light rain well enough that I have gone entire runs without ever feeling wet.""One mile it is calm and clear, the next a headwind arrives with rain behind it, and the mile after that the sun is back. The District Vision Ultralight Nylon Wind Jacket is built for exactly that kind of day — featherweight enough to carry without thinking about it, protective enough to matter when conditions shift. A non-PFC Durable Water Resistant finish handles light rain without the weight or rigidity of a full waterproof membrane, and a wide vent across the back allows excess heat to escape during high-output efforts so the jacket can stay on rather than get stuffed away. At 53gsm, the Japanese-milled nylon is among the lightest functional shell fabrics available, with superior abrasion and snag resistance that keeps the jacket intact through brush, pack straps, and the general chaos of moving fast through unpredictable terrain."
