While it boasts a tough three-layer Gore-Tex shell for superlative wind and rain protection, the soft-knit outer fabric is luxuriously soft. The stretch-knit liner also feels great against the skin, acting like a thin fleece for enhanced warmth, and giving you all the coziness of a hoodie.
Breathability is great, though, and pit vents further aid cooling, so we forgive its heaviness.
As you'd expect from such a design, the fit is nigh-on perfect, staying close to the body in all the right places, without ever feeling tight or restrictive, even when worn with other technical layers.
The super-light construction of the GTX 10 also helps you stay nimble as you cross challenging terrain. This, combined with expert wind and rain protection, makes it the best waterproof jacket for outdoor explorers and for those of you who enjoy being active outside.
