This fully taped, easily packable, featureheavy jacket won’t break the bank and isn’t afraid of a bit of bad weather. It’s adjustable just about everywhere, so you can really batten down the hatches.
The adjusters at the hem slowly release over time, but our jacket has never ridden up on the trail. There are two zipped hand pockets, which are useful. Long zip pulls make all the pockets and vents easy to access on the move. Get working hard and you’ll be thankful of the two zipped, mesh-backed vents on the front, which are coupled with a bar-tacked vent across the back. Still, overall breathability isn’t too bad and we often found ourselves leaving the jacket on when the weather changed. During downpours, the Agent’s soft exterior does an admirable job of keeping you dry, but stay put in the wet for a couple of hours and it’ll wet out.
