The Squamish is one of those bits of kit that is hard to get your head around. Its not a hard-shell waterproof, its not a warm softshell, & its not a uber-lightweight wind-shell. But it is such a versatile & addictive bit of kit that youll find yourself grabbing it every time you go outside. The Squamish is made from super tough Gossamera fabric, a 52gm², 30 denier, 100% nylon with an air permeable PU coating & a DWR finish. This brilliant fabric makes the Squamish windproof, highly breathable & weather resistant. It is the perfect jacket for all mountain activities especially if you are moving fast & just need to keep out the elements. The Squamish has stretch to allow complete freedom of movement, this is obtained mechanically by the clever weave of the yarn & not by adding elastane which can reduce drying times & increase weight. The low profile fixed under helmet hood has a stiffened visor making it perfect for climbing & mountaineering. The single zipped chest pocket takes care of those essentials & acts as a stuff pocket to stash the Squamish should you ever take it off.
