"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""This ultralight shell is my go-to for fast hikes and alpine missions. The Pertex Quantum Air fabric keeps wind and light rain at bay while staying ridiculously breathable. I love the strategically placed vents, and the sternum snap lets me dump heat without the jacket flapping around. Plus, it packs down small, making it easy to stash when I don’t need it.""When our adventures demand speed and adaptability, the Kor AirShell Hybrid Hooded Jacket delivers. Built with Pertex Quantum Air fabric, this ultralight shell provides the perfect balance of breathability and weather resistance, letting us move freely through shifting conditions. Whether we’re pushing up a gusty ridgeline or heading out on a damp morning trail run, this jacket keeps us protected without overheating. Thoughtfully designed for movement, the hybrid construction maps windproof panels where we need them most, while stretch fabric enhances mobility. A three-piece hood with a laminated brim maintains clear visibility, and passive mesh vents increase airflow to keep us cool on the go. When the weather clears, we pack it into its own pocket and clip it to our pack, ready for the next summit push."
