Updated R2® fabric affords improved stretch and mobility and glides more easily over layers. And we now use a denser fabric to reinforce the shoulder and sleeves. The fit is contoured, though allows room for underlayers. Finer points include water-repellent, easy-gliding Deluge® DWR zippers; a spindrift-blocking neck gasket closure; long-opening hand pockets with thin-and-light zippers for core ventilation; and anatomically contoured Centaur Cuffs that cover the backs of hands without frontside bulk.</SPAN>
