Lead Time Ships in 1-3 Days

Amazingly light but cuts the wind and holds the heat in with a layer underneath!

– Joe B., ★★★★★

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.

  • Mosquito proof

  • Highly wind resistant

  • Excellent vapor transfer / breathability - comfortable to wear, not clammy

  • Soft feeling - not sticky or plasticy like some other fabrics in this weight range.

  • Ripstop / tear resistant.

  • Lightest weight wind shell available with a hood and full length zipper.

  • The jacket packs down tiny into an integrated storage pocket.  

  • All Zpacks gear has a two year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Please see our return / warranty policy.

  • Imported.

Great Layering Piece!

The Ventum Jacket is the perfect packable item. No matter what trip I am taking, no matter what season, this jacket comes with me. Why not? It weights and packs down to about a handful of tissues! Perfect for layering, especially blocking the wind on a chilly day when I stop to rest for a snack or just to soak in a view! It’s a no brainer, everyone should own one!!!

Excellent

Excellent coup-vent, idéal aussi pour les petites pluies, la capuche est superbe, elle prend bien le contour de la tête. Je recommande le produit à 100% Excellent J'aimerais beaucoup l’avoir de couleur White pour des treks dans la neige, pour un meilleur (camouflage). Ludo

Venti Ventum

Love these things. Sometime take two along on walk to work, extra water resistance and warmth while avoiding taking a bulkier jacket if weather is iffy. They are cut generously as this 300 pounder can fit them over tee shirt and sling bag/pak type thing. Good stuff Maynard!
