⚡ At a Glance
- • Wearing Comfort: Lightweight, stretchy shell allows unrestricted movement during activity
- • Best for: Active women who need windproof, breathable layering for outdoor sports
- • Not ideal for: Extended heavy rain or formal occasions requiring smarter outerwear
Windproof lightweight fabric blocks chill while a water-resistant finish keeps the core dry in light rain. Four-way stretch and elastic cuffs support freedom of movement and close, comfortable layering.
Reliable weather protection - thanks to windproof, water-resistant outer fabric
Outer fabric is treated to repel water while retaining breathability, and a stand collar includes a wind guard under the front zip. Drawcord hem helps seal out drafts for a closer fit.
Protection from blustery conditions and light showers keeps focus on the activity rather than the weather. Adjustments at the hem and collar let users control ventilation and warmth.
Freedom of movement - with 4-way stretchy softshell construction
Shell fabric stretches in multiple directions, paired with elastic cuffs to accommodate dynamic arm and torso motion. Sleeveless design reduces bulk while keeping shoulders unrestricted.
Comfortable layering for cycling, running and hiking without feeling restricted. Stretch means the garment moves with the body during climbs, sprints and bike shifts.
Practical storage on the go - thanks to six secure pockets
Two zip-up hand pockets, two internal pockets, one chest zip pocket and a large rear zip pocket provide staged storage for essentials. Zipped closures keep items secure during movement.
Enough organised space for phone, keys, cards and an energy gel, with a rear pocket for maps or a folded buff. Pockets reduce the need for an additional belt or pack on shorter outings.
