Dynafit DTS Breath Jacket - REVIEW

  • 2011-05-05 15:05:12

    Dynafit DTS  Breath JacketWe have done a pretty thorough video review on the Breath jacket from Dynafit. Check it out on our Gear Review page (and forgive us for pronouncing it breathe rather than breath). To sum up, this jacket is ideal for specific conditions, namely: warmish, not too windy days in the backcountry when you are wearing a pack and working pretty hard. The mesh back works great to keep you cool and the multi-fabric design is well thought-out and functional. Shoulder/upper arm areas are water-proof and the remainder of the jacket (or most of it) is a softshell fabric.
