  • The high-cut thermal collar adds warmth, which is useful in cold weather but may feel less open or airy in warmer conditions.
  • The Vortex Hood’s 3-way adjustment is built for secure fit, but that also means a more dialed-in setup before heading out.
  • The XPEL finish is aimed at helping with fish blood and stains, but cleanup needs can still vary depending on what the jacket is exposed to.
