Columbia OutDry Ex NanoLite Shell
A premium packable rain- and windshell needs to check a few crucial boxes. First, it needs to really work in extreme conditions. (I.e., more than just a light layer for drizzle.) Second, it needs to easily and quickly fold away into its own pocket so you can stash it in a small pack and keep it at the ready.
Columbia’s new OutDry Ex NanoLite Shell (available for men or women) certainly checks these boxes. It offers lots of peace of mind when you can bring it everywhere you go. When it packs down this small, why not bring it?
The Outdry Extreme fabric is ready to protect you against heavy rain and snow with its external impenetrable waterproof membrane that is also breathable. Internal wicking means next-to-skin comfort if you’re wearing this layer in warmer temps with just a light layer underneath—summer paddling or hiking in the rain, for example. And when it clears up, you can stow the jacket in your pack and forget about it until the weather threatens again.
