Hey guys,
I am looking for a hardshell that i can use on a X-country road-trip in June and July. What is the temperature range a person can wear this jacket - specifically the highpoint. If i had a T-shift on and it started to pour, could i throw the Xenon jacket on in 70 degree Fahrenheit (85 degree?) weather.
Thanks in advance,
E

I don't know about 85 degrees but it should be fine with a light t-shirt (don't wear cotton!) to 70 degrees. I have gone running in the pouring rain in this jacket and it didn't get sweaty but that was in the 50 degree range at the time. If you want something for 85 degrees maybe try the Mountain Hardwear Cohesion Jacket? I have one of them that I take for summer backpacking. Extremely light and good waterproof shell. Hope that helps.

Just an FYI... the Xenon is made with the Paclite Laminate from GoreTex. Cheers!

if you want something that packs smaller and weighs less look for a coat with gore-tex paclite it will work better for hotter weather but still offer protection from the elements and have breathability. look at the Outdoor Research Foray, i have one of these and its awesome!
