What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wore this on a damp trail day when the mist never quite turned into real rain, and it kept me dry without ever feeling heavy. The mesh lining breathed well enough that I never had to shed a layer, even picking up the pace on the climbs."The Lillian Ridge II Jacket from Columbia is the layer that goes on for those in between days on the trail, when the sky can't decide between mist and sunshine and the temperature keeps dropping the higher we climb. Omni-Shield technology keeps moisture and stains from soaking into the fabric, so muddy trailheads and light drizzle stay outside where they belong. A drawcord adjustable hood seals out wind and rain without adding bulk, while a mesh lining keeps things breathable through steady movement. Snap hand pockets secure the small stuff, side seam snaps free up mobility on scrambles and stream crossings, and a shirttail hem adds coverage right where it matters most.
