Functional Fashion

Everyone knows a shell keeps you dry. But it also means the difference between adventure and danger. If you’re caught in a downpour, your top priority is to maintain your core temperature. By keeping your clothes and skin dry, a shell does exactly that.
When choosing a waterproof shell, however, there are a few things to consider. Features like adjustable cuffs and an adjustable hood ensure a snug yet flexible fit; taped seams and waterproof zippers prevent water penetration along the stitching; and zippered hand pockets keep your essentials dry.
In terms of performance, things like gusseted underarms help improve mobility across activities. Meanwhile, pit zips let you quickly dump heat without exposing yourself to an onslaught of wind and rain. Because, let’s face it, a breathable jacket is just as important as a waterproof one.
These small details add a ton of value to a rain shell. Need more storage? Consider a jacket that boasts a chest pocket. Want to layer? Size up or opt for a jacket with a relaxed fit.

GORE-TEX, for the Fiercest Weather Protection

A shell is a no-brainer on any excursion into the wild. These packable, lightwright garments can be tossed into a dark recess of your bag and forgotten about. That is, until you actually need it. When the weather takes a turn, shells become an indispensable emergency layer. Few fabrics do this better than GORE-TEX.
Companies who partner with GORE-TEX produce some of the highest quality waterproof shells around. Consider jackets like the Outdoor Research Aspire II or the Norrøna Lofoten Gore-Tex Insulated Jacket, both of which feature a wind-resistant and waterproof GORE-TEX construction.
