The UL Stretch Wind Parka is an incredibly light (4.1oz) windbreaker made for active wearers. Built of Ballistic Airlight rip-stop nylon, the fabric is fully wind resistant, packable, yet allows for breathability and solid protection. Fully featured, with two side zip pockets, drawcord hood, and drawcord waistband, the UL Stretch Wind Parka is a solid asset to any runners quiver of gear.
It should be noted, up front, that this jacket is not meant to be fully waterproof. While it has been treated with Polkatex water repellent, it is an outer coating and is only meant to shed light precipitation. Don’t expect to stay dry in a full downpour. It is also not a great insulator.
