Beyond its ability to transform into a gilet, this two-in-one, scooped-tail jacket also packs in its share of zipped stowage areas, from water-resistant lower, to concealed upper pocket. A double stormflap backs up the inverted, water-resistant main zip. Based around an 80 per cent windproof fabric, the outstanding percentage allowed in assists breathability. This is a surprise performer from a brand more traditionally associated with nights under canvas.
