Guide PRO Hooded Jacket | Ash

DESCRIPTION

Best Use: Cold Conditions

The Guide PRO features the latest advancements in soft-shell technology. Guide PRO has superior wind resistance, stretch, and durability, all at a reduced weight. In addition, the overall fit features enhanced articulation, and added length in the hem for layering. From the smallest to the largest sizes, you’ll find the new Guide PRO Series has an optimal fit.

Designed for mountain hunting, the Guide PRO is ideal for colder conditions when heavily insulated layers and 100% waterproof protection are not necessary. Leveraging K-DWR® durable water repellency, combined with Primeflex® quick-drying fabric, it withstands light rain and snow in conditions most would opt for hardshell rain gear.

The Guide PRO is constructed with a durable nylon face fabric combined with an ultra-soft and comfortable micro-fleece interior. The layers are laminated with a proprietary wind-resistant bonding technique. While the all-new material stands exceptionally durable in brush-choked terrain, it’s remarkably quiet for archery hunting.

With the mountain hunter in mind, we optimized and fine-tuned every feature, including dual chest pockets with an added accessory lanyard connection point, zippered pit vents for thermoregulation, and a two-way adjustable storm hood that can be cinched back on either side and worn up while shooting. In addition, an adjustable hem cinch blocks out wind, and raised hand pockets stay accessible while wearing a pack.
