Amazingly light but cuts the wind and holds the heat in with a layer underneath!

– Joe B., ★★★★★

The right layer can make all the difference. That's why the Ventum Wind Shell is purpose-built for those moments when a base layer alone isn’t enough, but an insulated jacket would be overkill.

A whisper-light layer that blocks the bite of the wind while staying highly breathable on the move, the Ventum Wind Shell starts at just under 2 ounces and disappears into your pack until you need it. 

Pairs well with an Octa Fleece Hoody to cut the wind and trap in warmth. Ounce for ounce the Ventum Wind Shell has the best warmth to weight ratio of anything we sell.

Whether you’re logging miles on a thru-hike or pushing big days in unpredictable weather, the Ventum Wind Shell keeps you focused on the journey, not your layers.

Jacob M. ★★★★★

I was skeptical something so light could block the wind, but the fabric really does cut the chill without any stiff feeling. Wore it over a fleece on a breezy hike and stayed perfectly warm.

Riley ★★★★★

The zipper glides effortlessly and the whole thing disappears into my pack—I honestly forget it's there until the wind hits, and then I'm instantly warm with just a light layer underneath.

Benjamin G. ★★★★★

Took this on a chilly morning run and it stopped the wind completely without making me sweat. The fabric is paper-thin but surprisingly durable, and it packs down to nothing in my vest pocket.
