The Men's Katabatic Crest Windshell is a high-performance, ultralight wind jacket engineered for fast-moving pursuits in the mountains, on trails, or during high-output outdoor activities. Designed with a minimalist ethos and built from advanced materials, this windshell delivers outstanding wind protection, breathability, and packability in one streamlined package. At the heart of its performance is Pertex® Quantum Air fabric—a cutting-edge textile designed specifically for dynamic movement in challenging environments. This fabric offers an ideal balance between wind resistance and air permeability, allowing excess heat and moisture to escape during high-intensity efforts while still protecting against gusty conditions. The result is enhanced comfort and temperature regulation when you're pushing hard on steep ascents or exposed ridgelines. The fabric is also treated with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, providing light rain and snow resistance without compromising breathability. Weighing just a few ounces, the Katabatic Crest Windshell compresses easily into its own zippered chest pocket, making it easy to stash in a running vest, cycling jersey, or backpack. Additional features include a close-fitting hood for added protection, elasticized cuffs and hem to seal out drafts, and an athletic, articulated cut that offers unrestricted movement. Whether you're trail running, alpine climbing, or hiking fast and light, the Men's Katabatic Crest Windshell with Pertex Quantum Air fabric is built to keep you moving efficiently and protected in variable mountain conditions.
