Last summer, I used the ThruDark Skirmish hardshell jacket extensively during my adventures in Wales, Scotland and Switzerland. This jacket is really great! It is super light and folds easily. Best of all, it is fully waterproof, which is perfect for activities like running, cycling and other dynamic endeavours where speed and mobility are important. The jacket is made of a special ripstop fabric that ensures it is durable and does not tear easily. Moreover, it has strategically placed vents to ensure optimal breathability without compromising waterproofing.
