Strong and masculine. Lightweight and flexible. These are the main attributes of our weather-proof mid-layer for sporty men who love a challenge. The robust fabric prevents heat loss, keeping the body in a balanced temperature. The windproof facings on the front make the jacket a great choice for windy and changeable weather while offering maximum freedom of movement.
