Designed for the discerning backcountry traveler, the Torrential 2.5L Shell provides essential weather protection for 3-season hiking, backpacking, and bikepacking.

Weighing a mere 340g and packing down to 20x10x10cm into its own hand pocket, this shell prioritizes packability. Functional features include a YKK AquaGuard front zipper, pit zips for active ventilation, an adjustable hood with a stiffened brim, and mesh-lined hand pockets that double as vents.
