The GUIDE Men's Hardshell Jacket features a slanted central zipper with two-way zippers and a high collar that covers the face and nose, preventing wind, rain, or snow from penetrating. The inner side of the collar is lined with a soft material to protect the membrane from beard abrasion and enhance comfort when fully zipped. The collar also has breathing holes for easier ventilation when fully zipped.
The outdoor jacket includes a large, well-designed hood with three-way adjustment, which can be pulled over a helmet. The hood also serves as a means to pack the jacket into your backpack. Long ventilation zippers on the sides are accessible even with backpack straps and are designed to allow access to inner layer pockets. By combining a sturdier fabric in high-stress areas (shoulders, sleeves, hood, and back) with a thinner fabric in less stressed areas, the jacket achieves an optimized balance of durability, extreme breathability, and weight.
The GUIDE jacket features a thoughtfully designed pocket system. There is a large bellows pocket at the front for gloves, straps, or goggles, an internal zip pocket for valuables, and an additional sleeve pocket with a Recco® signal reflector.
The reinforced extended back with an elastic element at the waist ensures that the jacket fits snugly, preventing restriction during movement. Additionally, the bottom hem can be adjusted for a customized fit. Adjustable cuffs with large Velcro closures and elasticated cuffs to allow for easy layering over gloves. Numerous reflective elements, including on the central zipper, enhance your safety during nighttime activities. These features, combined with 100% taped seams, provide perfect protection against adverse weather conditions.
