<\/a><\/div>\n

I have been on the lookout for a lightweight wind jacket that I could wear on a cool day or when the winds kicks up on a climb. However most wind jackets these days are super thin, literally paper thin. I am afraid they will fall apart in one use. At long last my search has come to an end with the Montbell Dynamo Wind Parka.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

This ultralight highly breathable coat packs down to a tiny ball in the included stuff sack. So small, no reason not to bring it with you.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The Montbell Dynamo Wind Parka has two waist pockets.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The velcro cuffs are nice for adding a bit of warmth when the weather turns bad.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

And a nice size hood that can roll up in to the collar of the coat.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I’ve been wearing this for months hiking, riding and everything else.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Awesome coat, no reason not to buy one and keep it in your pack at all times.<\/p>\n

The Dynamo Wind Series offers an excellent blend of breathability & comfort, while sheltering you from pesky insects, light precipitation, or alpine gusts. Being highly compressible and light in weight we defy you to find a reason not to take them to the trail on your next peak ascent, trail run, or mountain bike excursion. We all head into the wilderness with hopes for a “blue bird” day, but only the wise are prepared for a curveball from Mother Nature.<\/span>
