Clean GORE-TEX® Protection for Everyday Mountain Riding

• Air-Flo™ Chest Vent: A waterproof chest vent zipper helps dump heat while keeping the jacket’s exterior clean and minimal.
• Mountain-Ready Storage: Phone heater pocket, pass pocket with key clip, internal goggle and lens stash pocket, chest pocket, hand pockets, and tangle-free headphone loops keep essentials organized.
