Zpacks Ventum Wind Shell
Amazingly light but cuts the wind and holds the heat in with a layer underneath!
Choosing the right layer for crisp spring mornings and chilly fall nights can be a challenge. Our Ventum Wind Shell is crafted to cut the breeze and trap warmth in your base layer or against your skin.
Ventum fabric strikes the right balance between cutting cold wind while still allowing enough breathability for sweat to escape when hiking on chilly mornings and evenings.
It’s perfect for when a base layer alone is not enough, but insulation would make you overheat. Weighing under 2 ounces this is a must-have item for when you plan to hike in cool weather.
This windshell is unisex sizing. We do also have some women's sizes in our Bargain Bin while supplies last.
Elastic at the back hem, and at the wrists to keep wind out.
Elastic at the hood for a snug fit around your face.
Constructed from .51 oz/sqyd Ventum Ripstop Nylon. This fabric is tightly woven and heat calendared to cut the wind.
PFAS free C0 Durable Water Repellent to resist rain spray and body moisture.

Wind Shell Add-Ons
Goose Down Hood
Couldn’t be happier with this down hood. Perfect for quilt users, doesn’t slide around or off your head at night like a beanie can on straight, slick hair. Much better than the hood on a sleeping bag, which can slide into your face when you turn, and of course can’t be detached for use as a separate warm hood. The ultra light weight is remarkable. It’s very warm and has a cozy fit and feel.
Get ready for sweet dreams on cold nights when bundled up with the Goose Hood. A perfect companion to your ultralight down quilt, stay cozy and snug tucked away from the cold. The Goose Hood can also be worn by itself when you need extra protection from the chill.
