Softshell jackets are the perfect addition to your mountain top wardrobe, and here is why. Softshell fabric has either a 2 or a 4-way stretch built into the weave of the face fabric allowing the garment to stretch and move as you do. The Gecko Jacket uses a 4-way stretch Nylon fabric for exceptional freedom of movement and durability.
The impressive thing about softshell fabric is its ability to protect you from the majority of what nature has to throw at you. The Gecko Jacket will shield you from wind and light rain without you having to fish in your pack for your hardshell, this is because the face fabric is so tightly woven wind finds it hard to push its way through the fibres. Then if you get caught in a shower and some of the rain manages to get past the fluorocarbon free DWR, don’t worry too much as synthetic fibres dry relatively quick on their own, however, team this up with wind on the outside and body heat on the inside and you will have a dry, comfortable jacket again in no time.
Inside this jacket you will notice a microfleece baker which adds warmth and speeds up the wicking the process, helping you stay warm, dry and happy.
The Gecko has an adjustable hood with a reinforced peak, not only to keep it firmly attached to your head so you don’t get a face full of the inside hood every time you turn your head, but it is also useful at keeping your head dry.
The pockets are situated out of the way of hipbelts and harness for unimpeded access to all your gadgets and necessities, while the articulated sleeves add to the overall gorgeousness you will feel when you put on this jacket.
