Be prepared when birding this spring with the Watertight II Jacket made with Omni-Tech to provide fully seam-sealed, waterproof, breathable fabric that protects you from rain, water, and wind while hiking or on the water. This lightweight jacket will keep you comfortable and dry, and it is available in your choice of 12 colors. On sale now, the attached, adjustable storm hood seals out elements and a drawcord permits you to adjust the lower hem for a custom fit. There are also zippered hand pockets to secure valuables and an abrasion-resistant chin guard.
You can even fold the jacket into its own hand pocket so you can pack it for a birding hike or any trip – just in case. For added warmth, a fleece or light jacket can serve as an extra layer.
