Key Features Explained
The two-way zip opens from two directions. The hood is detachable, so it can be removed when not wanted. Pocket types include zipped options for a phone, internal storage and hand warming; the description does not give pocket dimensions.
The stated membrane figures distinguish the jacket’s hydrostatic head and breathability ratings. The source does not specify a measurement basis for the breathability figure, so compare the stated figures as presented rather than assuming additional performance details.
What to Compare Before Buying
- Check whether the stated 20,000 mm hydrostatic head and 10,000 g breathability figures match the ratings you are looking for.
- Consider which pocket types and closures matter for what you plan to carry; pocket sizes are not specified.
- Check that the detachable hood and two-way zip suit your preferences.
Compatibility, Size and Fit
This listing identifies the size as X-Large but gives no garment measurements. Compare the exact size with the sizing information or garment measurements for the selected listing before choosing; the size label alone cannot establish fit.
Before You Decide
Confirm the X-Large size, the membrane figures and the pocket configuration. If care instructions or garment measurements are important to your decision, check the information for the exact listing.
