Peak Performance describes this kit as a “go-to shell jacket for full-year adventures.” Its high breathability rating (RET <6m2) makes it a great fit for sweat-inducing activities like ski touring and hiking, while 28,000mm waterproofing keeps the elements at bay.
Is sweating a regular part of your outdoor activities? Then this kit might be for you.
Most noticeably, the Vislight is designed to be light and packable. Weighing in at .56kg (men’s) and .52kg (women’s), the Vislight jacket is nearly half as light as the similarly rated Vertical Gore-Tex Pro jacket.
Recent developments in fabric and membrane technology have led to a new generation of outerwear that's lightweight, soft and supple while retaining all of the technical breathability and waterproofing specs needed for serious outdoor adventures. By the numbers alone, the new Vislight from Peak Performance fits squarely in this category.
What goes up, must come down.
