The Vapor SD Jacket is a featherweight, ultra-packable waterproof jacket for training in unpredictable conditions. The cutting-edge GORE-TEX® SHAKEDRY™ technology creates a permanent beading surface and removes the face fabric of the garment, resulting in an incredibly lightweight and 100% waterproof jacket. The Vapor easily fits in a pocket to provide peace of mind on long runs and exposed ridge traverses.

I bought this piece the second I saw it ! I use this for everything from running the dogs to long scouting hikes. I plan to have this as a boating essential on those warm wet days guiding when regular rain gear is too hot . It packs up so small that I never leave home without it now. The water literally shakes right off of it even after hours in the rain! I wish there was a women’s version but I ordered the Men’s M and am 5’10” . Fits great! It’s fitted enough that I can go for runs in it but has enough room that I can wear a hoody under also. Great everyday piece !
Incredibly well built shell. Light durable and water proof! Recommended that every outdoor enthusiast has one in their pack!
awesome piece of gear, just kayaked the middle fork of the salmon river and wore it throughout the trip. truly an amazing piece of gear. packs down into nothingness basically yet it will keep rain and wind and sun off of you
I love this jacket! super light weight. breathes well, looks good. It's my go to rain jacket when going for a dayhike with the dogs.
