Getting down to details, this three-layer shell features a fully adjustable, helmet-compatible hood with wire brim and perforated chin guard so you can lock out bad weather when fully geared up.
Two chest pockets are fully harness-compatible and the larger bellowed front pocket provides space for snacks or inner gloves. There are three additional internal pockets for keeping all you need close at hand. Internal elastic thumb loops keep the sleeves in place as you layer up.
