## Built for Goldilocks weather
The Off Width Jacket targets spring days when it's warm in the sun but cool in shade. It handles temperature swings without overheating or leaving you cold.
## Unrestricted climbing movement
Made from 89% nylon and 11% elastane with underarm gussets and curved sleeves. You can reach deep into cracks or behind your head without restriction.
## WindWall blocks gusts effectively
TNF WindWall technology stops wind without sacrificing breathability. It keeps you warm on multi-pitch routes and alpine approaches without overheating.
## Moisture wicking and water repellent
FlashDry fabric pushes sweat to the surface to keep you dry. A non-PFC DWR finish repels water when weather turns unpredictably.
## Hood doubles as storage pouch
The adjustable, helmet-compatible hood provides extra warmth. Stuff the jacket into the hood and clip it to your pack with a carabiner via the webbing loop.
## Secure pockets and color options
Reverse-coil zippers keep small items safe. Men's comes in blue and black, women's in pink and green.
## Key takeaway

The Off Width Jacket excels at mobility and temperature regulation for variable spring climbing conditions.
