Who Are The FW Root Light 2.5 Jacket and Root Light 2.5 Pant For?

Durable and functional, the Root 2.5 Jacket and Pants are made for the males who seek something equally suited for spring touring and summer hikes. This is a lightweight package that is both easy to care for and easy to move in, with material made from post-consumer waste.

Materials and Construction

For 21/22 FW introduces a completely new fabric, the 2.5L Light Ripstop Full PES Shell. This is the lightest waterproof fabric in their entire collection, making the Root 2.5L jacket and pants ultra-breathable while keeping wind and water at bay.

The durable face fabric is made from post-consumer waste PET bottles and is further enhanced for wet weather with a PFC-free DWR coating to protect from wind and light rain. And, instead of adding a fabric layer to protect the inside of the membrane, there is a protective print to keep you comfortable even if only wearing a t-shirt/underwear underneath.
