Warbler Climashield APEX jacket (custom size)
The Warbler full zip is a Climashield APEX (2.5oz/yd or 3.6oz/yd)full zip jacket with an Argon 90 outer shell. This is a great jacket for wet weather as Climashield synthetic insulation keeps it's loft even when soaking wet. Also, since it is batt form insulation, it stays put even if you were to get a rip in the shell, unlike a down jacket. It's major disadvantage to down is that it doesn't compress quite as well. So even though it has some major advantages and is comparable in weight, expect it to take up more room in your pack. It has vertical side seam zippered pockets (they can be left off if noted).
Available with a hood or collar.
Available with a mesh inner shell for super fast drying and nice feel against the skin when wet or an Argon 67 nylon inner shell. The mesh has real gains for wet weather. You can shake water right out of it and if you put the outer shell in the sun, it'll heat up and push moisture through the mesh side really quick. Also, nylon tends to feel clammy against the skin when wet but the mesh feels warm and dry. The drawback is that it is slightly more fragile if snagged.
A size medium with a hood tends to be around 8-10oz.
