What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "This is the shell I grab when the forecast looks uncertain but speed still matters. It packs small, blocks wind and rain reliably, and the pit zips make a big difference on steep climbs. It's a great balance of protection and weight for fast mountain missions." We trust the Raintower Jacket when the weather turns fast and there's no time to slow down. Built by Mountain Equipment for rapid mountain travel, this lightweight shell offers dependable waterproof protection without weighing us down, making it ideal for long days where conditions can change in a heartbeat. The 2. 5-layer DRILITE(R) fabric keeps rain and wind at bay while staying breathable, and pit zips provide quick ventilation during hard efforts. An adjustable Mountain Hood, articulated sleeves, and an alpine fit keep movement unrestricted whether we're pushing uphill or navigating exposed terrain. When pack space is limited but protection is non-negotiable, the Raintower earns its spot every time.
