An ergonomically shaped collar helps to prevent wind chill by protecting your neck and stretchable inserts at the cuff hold the sleeves in place. A drawcord at the waist chinches down while preventing the jacket from bunching at the waist, plus a reinforced hem ensures easy closure of the zipper. A full zip exists for complete temperature control, it can be worn up to seal in the heat and zipped down to release an intolerable heat build up. The zipped front chest pocket provides ample storage for essential items, it can also be used to stow the jacket when not in use.
