Zpacks Ventum Wind Shell Jacket

Description

The right layer can make all the difference. That's why the Ventum Wind Shell is purpose-built for those moments when a base layer alone isn’t enough, but an insulated jacket would be overkill.

A whisper-light layer that blocks the bite of the wind while staying highly breathable on the move, the Ventum Wind Shell starts at just under 2 ounces and disappears into your pack until you need it. 

Pairs well with an Octa Fleece Hoody to cut the wind and trap in warmth. Ounce for ounce the Ventum Wind Shell has the best warmth to weight ratio of anything we sell.

Whether you’re logging miles on a thru-hike or pushing big days in unpredictable weather, the Ventum Wind Shell keeps you focused on the journey, not your layers.

Features

• Built from .51 oz/sqyd Ventum Ripstop Nylon, this ripstop and tear-resistant fabric is tightly woven and heat-calendared to block gusty windchill while still staying breathable and comfortable.
• It’s highly wind-resistant, mosquito-proof, and treated with a PFAS-free C0 DWR to shed light rain and body moisture.
• The material offers excellent vapor transfer for all-day breathability and a soft, non-plasticky feel against your skin.
• A full length YKK zipper allows for quick deployment and easy venting.
• Elastic trim at the hood, wrists, and hem seals out drafts for a secure, comfortable fit that moves with you.
• Integrated thumb holes prevent your sleeves from riding up, keep your hands a little warmer, and provide sun protection for the top of your hands.
• The jacket packs down tiny into an integrated storage pocket.
• Starting under 2 ounces, it’s the lightest full-featured full-zip hooded wind shell out there.
• All Zpacks gear has a two-year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Please see our return / warranty policy.
