The heat-efficient Granular's knit face buffers against wind and sheds snow. It's highly breathable, with directional knit on the inside to speed dry time and increase moisture transport. And it packs inside ridiculously small places. Supplex~ nylon panels reinforce the articulated elbows and two handwarmer pockets; clean- finished cordlocks and an internal drawcord eliminate loose hardware and seal out madly driven snow. Made in USA.
