A hugely popular choice for a wide range of uses! Whether you're looking for a durable and truly weatherproof jacket for outdoor everyday wear, hiking, or even skiing, the Astral gets the job done. The fabric is lightweight and flexiblefar from the stiff "armor" of past years. The Astral has been extremely popular since its release, thanks to its quality and versatility. This second version features a new PTFE-free Gore-Tex membrane, an even more flexible outer fabric, and a small pocket on the sleeve. Inside, you'll find a comfortable, thin fabric and mesh lining, making the jacket pleasant to wear even over a short-sleeved shirt in warm conditions. By adjusting base and mid-layers according to the weather, the jacket can be used nearly year-round: in summer, it serves as a sturdy rain jacket, in mid-season as a versatile outdoor jacket, and in winter as a great windproof layer. The front pockets are positioned high enough not to interfere with a backpacks hip belt. - Two-layer
