This is a great grab-and-go layer for sunny, breezy days when a heavy shell would be overkill. The Stryder is light, wind-resistant, and rated UPF 50, so it keeps the sun off on high, exposed hikes and climbs while a DWR finish lets light rain bead up and roll away. What makes it especially nice in warm weather is the airflow—a mesh-lined body and a vented back yoke keep you from overheating, so you can leave it on instead of constantly stripping it off. An easygoing all-season layer that handles a little bit of everything.
