Materials:

• Outer fabric made with 100% nylon 2L Full Dull plain weave nylon; this material is known for its durability, abrasion resistance, and lightness. The "2L" (two-layer) construction implies that the nylon outer fabric is laminated or coated with the Omni-Tech™ membrane, and is complemented by a separate inner lining. The "Full Dull" finish gives it a matte appearance.
• Omni-Tech™ technology integrated into the outer fabric, consisting of a microporous membrane or coating that blocks water entry (waterproof) while allowing water vapor to escape (breathable), ensuring the user stays dry and comfortable. Critical seams are also sealed to reinforce this protection.
• Fine mesh lining, likely polyester or nylon, designed to be lightweight and improve the jacket's overall breathability by facilitating sweat wicking and air circulation between the jacket and the body.
