What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wear the Street Heights Shell for the walk to work more than anything else, snap front and all, and it's kept me dry through more sudden downpours than I can count. The high collar blocks enough wind at the neck that I've stopped bothering with a scarf underneath."A city commute doesn't pause for weather, and the Street Heights Shell Jacket from Columbia is built for that daily unpredictability, whether it's a short walk to the office or a longer loop through the park on the way home. The snap front closure keeps it quick to throw on without slowing down a morning already running late. Omni-Tech seals every seam against the rain, while a high collar and drawcord hem block wind at the two spots it tends to sneak in first. Back venting keeps things from overheating on a brisker pace, an interior security pocket holds onto anything too valuable for a bag, and the peripheral vision hood stays out of the way even when the street demands full attention.
