Stow H2O Jacket - Men's

DWR, or Durable Water Repellent, is a treatment applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. This means that when it rains lightly, water beads up and rolls off the surface instead of soaking in. This feature helps keep you dry during unexpected weather, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking or cycling.

3M Reflective material is designed to reflect light, which significantly increases your visibility in low-light conditions, such as early morning or evening rides. This is especially important for cyclists and runners, as it helps ensure that drivers can see you, reducing the risk of accidents.

A fully seam-sealed jacket has all its seams (the stitched areas) covered with waterproof tape or coating. This construction technique prevents water from leaking through the seams, ensuring that the jacket remains completely waterproof. It’s essential for staying dry in heavy rain or wet conditions.

The breathability rating measures how well a fabric allows moisture, like sweat, to escape while keeping water out. A higher rating (e.g., 15,000g/m²) means better moisture management, which is crucial for comfort during physical activities. This helps you stay dry and comfortable, especially during intense workouts.

Core panels are strategically placed areas in the jacket that enhance airflow, while back exhaust venting consists of openings that help release heat and moisture. Together, these features ensure that you stay cool and comfortable during high-energy activities, preventing overheating and excessive sweating.
