What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "This is the one shell I can wear biking, hiking, and even backcountry skiing. It’s totally waterproof, breathes well, and the fit works great with layers. The huge core vents dump heat fast, and the reinforced shoulders are clutch when I’ve got a loaded pack on. Plus, all the reflective hits are perfect for commuting." We’re not big on owning a jacket for every activity—and with the Showers Pass Refuge Jacket, we don’t have to. This is our go-to outer shell when we need serious weather protection across seasons and sports. From wet morning commutes to alpine backcountry missions, its Elite™ 3-layer waterproof-breathable construction blocks wind and rain without trapping body heat, so we stay comfortable whether we’re pedaling hard or skinning uphill. Reinforced shoulders add long-wearing durability under backpack straps, and extra-long core vents provide serious airflow when things heat up. The removable, helmet-compatible hood tucks away easily, and 360° of 3M™ Scotchlite™ reflective trim keeps us visible in low light. Waterproof zippers, multiple pockets, a drop tail, and thoughtful fit details round out the design—making this our do-it-all shell when performance and protection matter most.
