The Shivling Jacket is an exceptional year round piece crafted from the superb Gore-Tex Pro fabric; breathable, lightweight and waterproof. So whether you are walking, hiking even mountaineering, this jacket is lightweight and low bulk enough that you can always carry it just in case. The 40 denier Gore-Tex Pro fabric can take quite a bit of abuse as the face fabric itself is made from the ever so durable Nylon.
It's mountain HC hood isn’t made for extended helmet use but it does accommodate a helmet at a squeeze if you need it to, adding to this jackets overall versatility. The close Alpine Fit will allow layers underneath but it is designed to reduce the amount of dead space between layers and eliminate excess material. If you get too hot M.E. have popped in some pit-zips for when need to cool off quickly, which saves you stopping to delayer and losing all your momentum.
