La Sportiva Freeway Wind Jacket - Women's Limestone/Night Sky, XL

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I take this jacket on almost every run and ride. It packs down tiny, the hood fits comfortably under a climbing or biking helmet, and the laser perforations keep it from feeling stuffy. The chest pocket stash system is super convenient when I’m moving fast and want to shed a layer.""We rely on the Freeway Wind Jacket when gusty ridges, exposed traverses, and changing forecasts demand a layer that won’t weigh us down. La Sportiva’s ultralight recycled polyamide sheds wind and light moisture, keeping us protected without breaking our rhythm on climbs or fast approaches. The low-profile hood fits cleanly under a helmet, and reinforced laser perforations help us hear our surroundings and stay ventilated when the pace ramps up. Once we’re out in the elements, the details make the difference. Underarm laser perforations add airflow during high-output pushes, while elastic cuffs and an adjustable hem seal out chill without restricting movement. The chest pocket doubles as a stow pouch, letting us pack the entire jacket into a compact bundle that clips easily to a harness or pack. Built for efficient motion and variable conditions, the Freeway Wind Jacket gives us just enough weather protection to keep moving confidently into exposed terrain."
