7MESH NORTHWOODS WINDSHELL MEN'S Ver.2|Lightweight and breathable packable windshell to ward off the wind
The perfect balance of lightness and breathability for a full day of activity. A piece that keeps you comfortable while blocking the wind.
The chill of the morning, the wind whipping over mountain ridges, the drop in body temperature on descents. In the outdoors, there are surprisingly many situations where you just want to block "a little" wind.
The 7MESH NORTHWOODS WINDSHELL MEN'S Ver.2 is a lightweight windshell that achieves a high level of both wind resistance and breathability. It effectively blocks the wind that can cool your body while allowing excess heat and moisture to escape during activity, keeping you comfortable even during long activities.
Weighing only about 150g, it also features a packable design that allows the entire garment to be stowed into a pocket. It's a reliable piece for situations where you want to keep your luggage as light as possible, such as cycling, hiking, or running.

What I really notice when using it is the excellent balance between wind resistance and breathability.
While some general windshells can get stuffy because they block the wind, this NORTHWOODS doesn't trap heat easily even when you're constantly moving, making it comfortable to wear throughout your activity. You'll particularly appreciate its comfort during spring and autumn rides or hikes with significant elevation changes.
Its extremely compact storage size also makes it an excellent "just-in-case" layer to throw in your bag. It's especially reliable on days with unpredictable temperature changes or during long activities.
Its versatility is also appealing; it's not just for cycling but can be naturally used for hiking and running as well.
