Description
Ultra‑light Rain and Wind Jacket for On‑the‑Go
The Levanter Jacket is an exceptionally lightweight, waterproof outer shell designed for shifting weather conditions and mobile operations. It provides reliable protection against light rain and wind — ideal as a compact weather shield for outdoor use, patrols or rapid-response situations.
Weather‑resistant Nylon with DWR Coating and PU Membrane
The jacket is built from a durable 100% nylon fabric weighing approximately 105 g/m². Nylon offers excellent tear and abrasion resistance, quick drying and dependable performance under changing conditions.
The exterior features a DWR coating (Durable Water Repellent, C0 formula without PFAS), causing water to bead off the surface before it can penetrate — keeping the jacket dry even during light rain.
An internal PU membrane (polyurethane) acts as a waterproof barrier and provides a hydrostatic head of up to 10,000 mm — ensuring reliable protection in light to moderate rainfall. Despite this barrier, the material remains breathable, making the jacket suitable for movement and active use without trapping moisture.Extremely Lightweight, Compact and Ready at Any Time
Compared to classic hardshell models, the Levanter stands out with its very low weight and compact construction. Weighing only around 268 g, it packs down small and can be thrown on instantly when needed — perfect as a “just‑in‑case shell” for sudden weather shifts or unpredictable missions: a straightforward, portable weather solution.
Practical Features for Daily Use and Field Operations
The jacket is equipped with a short 3/4 zipper (half‑zip) that allows quick on/off and provides additional ventilation — useful during movement or temperature changes. A large kangaroo pocket with two zippers (accessible from both sides) offers storage for maps, gloves, EDC items or small gear. The adjustable hood provides reliable protection from wind and rain and can be quickly adapted as needed.
Recommended Use and Care Instructions
The Levanter Jacket is well‑suited as a lightweight rain and wind shell for everyday use, outdoor activity or as a rapid protective layer during sudden weather changes. It’s ideal to keep at hand as a quick, lightweight weather solution.
To maintain performance, the jacket should be stored dry. The PFAS‑free DWR C0 coating may diminish over time — an occasional re‑application of water‑repellent treatment using appropriate care products is recommended.- Material: 100% nylon, approx. 105 g/m²
