Using a breathable, “wicking knit” material on the back of the jacket, the Nano Air® Light Hybrid Jacket keeps the back cool while an insulated front featuring a “flyweight shell fabric” keeps the core warm. This piece is the ultimate for lightning backcountry missions, ski-mo, and trail running. However, the piece is not limited to one singular, hardcore outdoor sport. The Light Hybrid Jacket is a great extra layer to pack while on summer day hikes in the alpine or longer bike tours. Either way, it’s all ‘warmth up front, breathability in the back.
