What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I always keep this jacket in my pack—it’s that lightweight. The DRYVENT™ fabric blocks wind and rain without feeling clammy, and I love how easily it stows into its own pocket. It’s been a great outer layer for fast hikes or unpredictable weather without weighing me down."The Ridgelite WP Jacket is made for sudden downpours, fast-moving hikes, and lightweight layering when the forecast can’t make up its mind. It combines waterproof, seam-sealed DRYVENT™ protection with a packable design that disappears into our daypack when skies are clear—and deploys in seconds when the rain rolls in. At just over six ounces, this shell keeps weight low and mobility high. Underarm gussets let us move freely over rocky sections and switchbacks, while the adjustable hood, hem cinch-cord, and AquaGuard® zip keep the wet out. Made from 100% recycled nylon with a non-PFC DWR finish, it’s a piece we trust in our pack and feel good about bringing along.
