Waterproof Shell Jacket – Built for the Hour After the Shower Stops Being a Shower

A shell with every seam sealed shut and a hood that draws in around the face. It handles steady rain rather than the light stuff a coated jacket manages. Two colors across seven sizes.

Why choose a shell with sealed seams?

Fabric almost never leaks. Stitch lines do, because a needle leaves a hole and a hole lets water through. Sealing those lines shut is the single thing that separates a shell from a jacket that merely beads up for twenty minutes.

Every seam sealed — the stitch lines are closed off, so there is no route in along the shoulders.
Hood you can cinch — a cord pulls it around the face and holds there when the wind picks up.
Cuff straps at the wrist — hook-and-loop tabs close the sleeve down over a glove or a watch.
Closed pockets — zippers keep phone and keys out of the weather, not just out of sight.
Folds into a pack — it compresses down small enough to live in a daypack all season.

The jacket for the days when the rain is not planning to stop.

The front closes with a zipper and a snap-down storm flap over it. Pull the hood cord in before you set off, not once the wind has already found you. Hang it open to dry afterward rather than folding it away wet.
