Amazingly lightweight, easy to pack down and a must to bring EVERY time you are going to hike! It is a MUST have item while backpacking. Love that it keeps those damn mosquitoes at bay AND is breathable. Great wind layer. Why isn't this item in your shopping cart yet?

Layering doesn’t have to be complicated. The Ventum Shell is perfect for those chilly early morning temperatures and windy alpine evenings. Specifically designed for women, this wind shell jacket is ounce for ounce the most valuable piece of clothing you can carry.

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. Ventum fabric tests at 39.5 CFM under ASTM D-737

It cuts the breeze and traps warmth in your base layer or against your skin. This is an essential piece of gear when a base layer alone is not enough, but insulation would make you overheat.

If you don't see your size, we also have some sizes available at a discount in our Bargain Bin while supplies last.

They performed quite well on first try hiking in snow and rain mix. Hands were warm and dry while hiking with trekking poles.

The kilt packs down to nothing and very very light weight. Far better than carrying rain trousers at 5 times plus for weight. The kilt is very easy to use quickly and no need to take boots off. A great idea that keeps you dry with good quality materials and finish. Arrived quickly when ordered.

Great item to add to your repair/ditty bag/possibles kit. In a pinch the needle can be converted to a fishing hook. It could also be used for an emergency suture if you don’t have butterfly bandages or superglue to seal a laceration.

LOVED the poncho on my 500 mile section of the PCT this year... it's one of my top 5 favorite pieces of gear!!! I used it in a downpour at the northern terminus as I completed 7 years of section hiking the PCT.

This thing was easy to attach and very lightweight. It will help me not lose track of IDs and cash in the bottom of my pack!

Make sure you don’t lose your most important items. Attach this stick-on key zip pouch to the inside of your backpack, and your keys, wallet, passport, smartphone or other valuables will still be where you left them at the end of your hike. When you get to town the pouch detaches and fits in your pocket.

Just peel off the brown paper backing from the included flat clips and attach the pouch inside your backpack where you want it. We usually stick it towards the top of the backpack right behind the shoulder straps so that it is easy to get to. The adhesive bonds well and will also work on any urethane coated backpack material. Spare Stick on Flat Clips are available if you want to clip this pouch to a second location.

This is an excellent product. It keeps your neck cool and protected from the sun too. Very well made, and a great idea!
