Performance jacket has built-in climate control!

This lightweight, waterproof, breathable jacket takes you to a whole new level of comfort with innovative fabric technology, a contoured shape to reduce windage and articulated arms for ease of movement. It features Adaptive Performance Technology, which consists of temperature-sensitive memory polymers. When the temperature falls, the polymers reconfigure to restrict the loss of heat and moisture and work to keep you warm. As you work up a sweat, the temperature within the garment rises, and the Adaptive Performance Membrane increases the membrane’s permeability, causing water vapor and moisture to be expelled to the outside air at a faster rate. In other words, built-in climate control!

The result is a jacket that keeps you comfortable without having to add or remove layers. Collar and jacket are lined with soft, quick-drying micro-fiber mesh. Features a two-way, non-corrosive zip front with storm flap and drainage channel, welded side pockets, and internal pocket with water-resistant zips, external hook-and-loop wrist adjusters, and a shock-cord adjustable hem. Foldaway hood zips into the collar. Imported.
