Overview
Built for young hunters who need dependable wind-blocking protection in the field, this youth jacket is designed to keep kids comfortable when conditions turn breezy. It pairs a wet-printed Micro-Fleece shell with a micro grid fleece backer and a WINDSTOPPER® by GORE-TEX LABS membrane for a quiet, 100% windproof construction. The result is a practical outer layer for hunting trips, scouting days, and other outdoor time where staying protected from the wind matters. It is a straightforward choice for families looking to outfit youth with the same style of protection used in the adult line.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed as a youth-specific version of the Stratus Jacket, so fit and coverage are tailored for kids rather than scaled-down adult sizing.
- Built around wind-blocking protection, which can be a strong advantage in exposed conditions but may be more than needed for mild, low-wind outings.
- The emphasis on quiet construction is useful for hunting, though that focus may come with less versatility than a lighter, more general-purpose layer.
- As a premium youth jacket, the price point may be a consideration if the jacket will see only occasional use or a short period of wear.
