Northwoods Windshell - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I ran the Northwoods Windshell on a mountain ride where the temp dropped fast once we hit the ridge line. The StashSystem pocket let me pack it into almost nothing on the climb, then strap it to the bike once we dropped back into the sun."

The Northwoods Windshell solves a problem every mountain rider knows: rides rarely hold one temperature for long. A 100% nylon face fabric treated with DWR gives the shell enough weather resistance to shrug off a sudden shower without adding real weight, while the relaxed fit leaves clearance to layer a thermal underneath when a cold start turns colder at elevation.

The StashSystem pocket is the core of the design, packing the entire jacket into its own side pocket with a double-sided zipper for quick access mid-ride. Integrated straps let that packed jacket clip directly to the bike once conditions warm up, freeing pocket space that would otherwise disappear to a bunched-up shell. A low-profile hood with drawcords and a brushed tricot brim and chin guard block wind on exposed descents, and elastic cuffs keep drafts from working their way up the sleeve.

At 126g, the Northwoods Windshell is light enough to disappear in a hip pack or jersey pocket until the wind or rain shows up. It suits mountain riders who want dependable, packable protection for variable alpine weather without carrying a heavier shell for the whole ride.
