Our 1.50 oz/sqyd Vertice Waterproof Breathable Fabric boasts an incredible breathability rating that blows away most other rain gear.
Treated with durable, effective C6 water repellent. Made with PFAS chemicals.
The material keeps your hands comfortable and dry rather than clammy and wet! The material can hold up to the wear and tear caused by trekking poles.
Ergonomic fit on the hand and thumb. Long enough for your jacket sleeves to comfortably overlap the wrists.
Elastic wrist bands have a clip to attach the mitts together or to hang them to dry. The elastic exits at the palm to distinguish the left and right hands.
The mitts are sized to be worn alone, or with a pair of thin liner mittens or gloves underneath for cold weather. These PossumDown gloves work great as liners under your rain mitts.
Fully taped seams.
Repair tape sticks extremely well to the inside of the material so repairs in the field are a cinch. Tape will not stick to the exterior.
All Zpacks gear has a two year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Please see our return / warranty policy.

Zpacks Ventum Wind Shell Jacket
Amazingly light but cuts the wind and holds the heat in with a layer underneath!
– Joe B., ★★★★★
The right layer can make all the difference. That's why the Ventum Wind Shell is purpose-built for those moments when a base layer alone isn’t enough, but an insulated jacket would be overkill.
A whisper-light layer that blocks the bite of the wind while staying highly breathable on the move, the Ventum Wind Shell starts at just under 2 ounces and disappears into your pack until you need it.
Pairs well with an Octa Fleece Hoody to cut the wind and trap in warmth. Ounce for ounce the Ventum Wind Shell has the best warmth to weight ratio of anything we sell.
Whether you’re logging miles on a thru-hike or pushing big days in unpredictable weather, the Ventum Wind Shell keeps you focused on the journey, not your layers.

The kilt packs down to nothing and very very light weight. Far better than carrying rain trousers at 5 times plus for weight. The kilt is very easy to use quickly and no need to take boots off. A great idea that keeps you dry with good quality materials and finish. Arrived quickly when ordered.
– Ian M., ★★★★★
The Vertice Kilt is a unique solution to staying cool in warm weather storms, and is a great option for ultralight waist to knee rain protection.
