The Spirit Lite Jacket is designed for mountain walking and long-distance trekking alike.

A fully adjustable hood and weather-resistant pockets combine to make this an essential jacket for any mountain activity where packability is paramount.
Our Verdict
Made from Gore-Tex Paclite material, this jacket has a smooth nice next-to-skin feel and a tough 30 Denier Polyester outer. So, your jacket is very breathable and packs down incredibly small.
With a Hydrostatic Head of 28,000mm, you can be confident this jacket will keep you dry no matter what outdoor exertion you’re undertaking. It's been coated with a long-lasting DWR which helps repel water and generally keeps the jacket functioning longer. The DWR will occasionally have to be reproved.
The large main zip has been backed with a wide storm flap and it is protected with an Aquaguard YKK zip, as are both of the side hand warming pockets, which are both mesh lined which helps ventilate heat and moisture.
The hood has three points of adjustment, one point around the crown, and two at the side of the face. The peak of the hood has been stiffened to help keep water out of your eyes.
The jacket's cuffs can be tightened with hook and loop fastenings and the hem of the coat cinches around the waist with a simple drawcord.
