Namche GTX Jacket Men's S26

I was pleasantly surprised by how well the jacket handled a sudden downpour during my hike—the three-layer construction kept me completely dry, and it didn't feel stiff or bulky while moving.

The new fluorocarbon-free membrane is noticeably quieter than my old shell while still shedding rain perfectly on a wet ridge walk. I have worn it over a thick fleece and still had full arm movement without any restriction.

Finally a shell that actually breathes during steep climbs without letting the rain in. The new eco-friendly Gore-Tex feels just as tough as the old stuff, which is exactly what I needed for unpredictable mountain weather.
