Tempesta Lite Jacket - Men's

GORE-TEX is a high-performance fabric that is both waterproof and breathable. This means it keeps water out while allowing sweat and moisture to escape, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable during outdoor activities like hiking, biking, or skiing. Choosing a jacket with GORE-TEX technology helps you tackle various weather conditions without compromising on comfort.

The waterproof rating indicates how well the fabric can resist water. A rating of 5/5 means the jacket is highly effective at keeping water out, making it ideal for very wet conditions. This feature is crucial for staying dry during heavy rain or wet environments, enhancing your overall outdoor experience.

The breathability rating measures how well the fabric allows moisture vapor (like sweat) to escape. A rating of 3/5 suggests that the jacket has moderate breathability, which helps manage sweat and keeps you comfortable during physical activities. This is important for maintaining a comfortable body temperature, especially during intense workouts.

A windproof rating indicates how well the fabric blocks wind. A rating of 5/5 means the jacket is very effective at preventing wind from penetrating, which is essential for staying warm in cold, windy conditions. This feature is particularly beneficial for activities in exposed areas where wind chill can be a concern.

The YKK Vislon waterproof zipper is designed to prevent water from entering through the zipper area of the jacket. This feature enhances the overall waterproof capability of the jacket, ensuring that you stay dry even in heavy rain. It’s a reliable choice for outdoor enthusiasts who need durable and effective gear.

The internal wrist gaiter is designed to seal the area around your wrists, preventing water from entering the sleeves of the jacket. This feature is especially useful when it’s raining or when you’re moving, as it helps keep your arms dry. Additionally, it can integrate with gloves for a complete seal against the elements, enhancing your comfort and protection during outdoor activities.
