Galvin Green Ashby with Shakedry Technology
Galvin Green are always looking for that extra edge to take them one step ahead of the competition. Their new Ashby jacket is another step down that road. It comes in at an incredible 172g which makes it one of the most lightweight jackets on the market. It features Galvin's Gore-Tex Shakedry technology. The Gore-Tex membrane is the outside layer of the jacket instead of being sandwiched between fabric layers. This ensures that any rainwater 'beads' on the surface and is almost immediately displaced. This stops any water penetration to the layers below. The jacket is therefore fully waterproof.
The two zippers on the jacket are water repellent. The zippers are the half zip to the front which makes the removal/put on of the jacket easy. The second zip is located to the side which can be zipped up to just below the armpit. This also allows you access/removal of the jacket. The jacket is highly breathable which allows you to remain dry and comfortable on the inside of the jacket as well as the outside. The binding on both hems is elasticated for comfort as is the drawstring on the hem. The sleeves are also shaped to give you total freedom of movement in that area.
An excellent jacket that will keep you dry warm and comfortable.
