Spring can be a time of unpredictable weather. But spring is also a great time to get out and see the first signs of summer. We have gathered some of the newest pieced of gear to keep you dry and comfortable as well as a couple packs that will carry some essential while on any hike. And the best part is all this gear is specifically designed for women.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rab Myriad Jacket<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The Women’s Myriad Jacket is a waterproof and highly breathable jacket specifically designed for women. Using a similar style and feature set as the award winning Latok Alpine jacket the Myriad makes best use of Polartec Neoshell fabric in a new lighter weight incarnation. Neoshell has a much softer handle than other hardshells and offers softshell levels of comfort and breathability.<\/p>\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Polartec\u00ae NeoShell\u00ae 3L fabric<\/p>\n \u2022 Helmet compatible hood with wired peak<\/p>\n \u2022 2 YKK Aquaguard\u00ae zipped bonded A-line pockets<\/p>\n \u2022 YKK Aquaguard\u00ae front zip, internal flap, rain drain<\/p>\n \u2022 Internal YKK zipped bonded pocket<\/p>\n \u2022 Tricot lined collar<\/p>\n \u2022 Velcro\u00ae cuffs, hem drawcord<\/p>\n \u2022 Reflective trim<\/p>\n \u2022 Fit: Regular<\/p>\n \u2022 DWR\/Spray: 80\/20<\/p>\n \u2022 HH: 10,000mm<\/p>\n \u2022 Air Perm: 0.5 CFM<\/p>\n \u2022 Weight\/m: 115g\/m<\/p>\n \u2022 Comp: 40% Nylon (Face), 30% Polyester (Back), 30% polyeurethane (membrane) Ripstop<\/p>\n \u2022 MSRP: $375.00<\/p>\n \u2022 http:\/\/us.rab.uk.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n Crafted from a comfortable heather-knit jersey, the BugsAway SecuriTee wicks moisture away from the skin and features flat lock stitching to prevent rubbing.
