Purple Mountain Observatory Stinger Jacket

Engineered from a durable three layer waterproof nylon shell, the Purple Mountain Observatory Stinger Jacket in Olive provides complete weather protection to eliminate the problem of heavy rain and wind soaking through your clothing on exposed trails. Fully taped internal seams prevent water seepage, while the lightweight, highly breathable fabric matrix allows heat vapor to escape during steep ascents. Equipped with a fully adjustable storm hood, a two way main zipper, and deep water resistant utility pockets, this technical shell coat delivers uncompromised storm defense for mountain trekking and unpredictable British weather.
