Haglofs

Astral II Q Jacket - Women's

You could bank on your two-week trek through the north of Sweden being totally rain free, or you could just pack up the Haglöfs Astral II Q Women's Rain Jacket and be prepared. Never heard of Haglöfs? That's probably because it's brand new to North American, but it's been selling rugged, technical, and well-designed outerwear in Europe for 100 years-- in other words, it knows a little bit about staying dry on the trail. The Astral Q sports a waterproof and breathable two-layer Gore-Tex membrane, a tough nylon ripstop shell, and a DWR coating to keep you drier than a smoked herring, with underarm zips so you don't feel like you're hiking in a Scandinavian sauna. The dual zipper storm flaps, adjustable hood, and dropped rear hem give you extra coverage against the most insidious moisture, while the articulated sleeves let you point like a lunatic when you see a herd of reindeer on the side of the trail.
