packable wind shell

Name: packable wind shell
Brand: Ouestrail
Price: 89.00 EUR
Availability: InStock

0.4 L packed. The layer you always have because it never took up room.

three places, three grades

a grade with no reason is not a grade

hikingsuitable: At 0.4 L there is no reason to leave it behind, which is most of what a wind layer needs to be.
cyclingsuitable: Dense weave at the chest, elastic hem that drops 5 cm at the back and does not flap at speed.
commutingsuitable: Lives in a jacket pocket, comes out on the platform.

Cycling grades account for back hem length, sleeve length with your arms forward on the bars, and whether there is a rear pocket you can reach. Rear pocket on this piece: no.

the piece

A 20-denier wind shell that packs into its own chest pocket at 0.4 L. Densely woven to slow air at the chest and shoulders, with a light repellent finish for spray. Wind and spray, not rain.

what it does, and where it stops

how we test

fabric weight: 48 g/m²
garment weight: 132 g in EU 50 / M
packed volume: 0.4 L
water repellency: light — PFC-free DWR, C0 chemistry, applied to the face fabric
when the finish runs out: 15 to 25 machine washes
how you will know: water stops beading and rolls into the weave instead; the face fabric darkens where it soaks in
how to renew it: Wash it clean first, then apply a wash-in or spray-on repellent, then reactivate with a warm tumble dry or a warm iron through a cloth.
hydrostatic resistance (EN ISO 811): Not published.
breathability (EN ISO 11092): Not published.

Packed volume 0.4 L, measured stuffed into its own chest pocket and compressed by hand
20-denier face — light enough to carry always, thin enough to snag on gorse
Elastic hem with a 5 cm back drop, elastic cuffs

sizes, measured

Measurements in centimetres for packable wind shell, taken flat, with a tolerance of plus or minus one centimetre.
size	chest	back length	sleeve
EU 46	108 cm	71 cm	64 cm
EU 48	112 cm	73 cm	66 cm
EU 50	116 cm	75 cm	68 cm
EU 52	120 cm	77 cm	70 cm
EU 54	124 cm	79 cm	72 cm

Garment measurements in centimetres, taken flat. Tolerance ±1 cm — a run of fabric is never exact, and we would rather print the tolerance than pretend it away.

the same garment, in a riding position

packable wind shell measured on a mannequin held at a 35 degree forward lean.
size	back coverage, riding	sleeve, arms forward
EU 46	68 cm	61 cm
EU 48	70 cm	63 cm
EU 50	72 cm	65 cm
EU 52	74 cm	67 cm
EU 54	76 cm	69 cm

Measured on a mannequin held at a 35° forward lean. A forward lean lifts the back hem and pulls the sleeve back from the wrist, so these figures are lower than the standing ones — that is the effect, stated rather than hidden.

Coated face fabric — sort as textile, not as plastic packaging
Finish is a surface treatment, not a laminate, so the base cloth stays a single fibre family
Zips and pullers are replaceable rather than bonded
