This cool lightweight jacket is from outdoors specialists Beyond, and we are offering it because we like it and it has some Nzo DNA in its evolutionary path. The fabric is 2.5 layer 90gsm Polyester RipStop laminated to a breathable water proof membrane. The ratings on water resistance and breathability are 5000mm/m2 and 5000g/m2. That sounds pretty impressive but means the jacket will keep you fairly dry in all but Amazonian conditions, and you will stay dry inside unless you are getting very jiggy.
Features of the Haast are fully sealed seams, drop tail hemline, underarm zipped vents, fixed hood with adjustments, hidden zipped hand pockets, drawstring lower hem, Velcro adjustable cuffs, hidden vent on back.
