- Is the Platinum Peak II Shell fully waterproof?
- Yes. It is a waterproof polyester shell with sealed seams, so it is meant as a rain layer, not just a windbreaker.
- Does it have pit zips?
- No. It has no underarm vents, so it can feel stuffy on steep climbs. Open the front zip to cool down.
- What can I wear under it?
- It is an uninsulated shell. Wear a base layer and a fleece or light puffer under it in cold, wet weather.
- How does it fit?
- It is cut to layer over a midlayer. If you plan to wear a bulky fleece underneath, consider sizing up.
- Is it good for travel?
- Yes. It is light and packable, which suits trips where rain is likely and luggage space is tight.
- How should I care for it?
- Machine wash cold with a technical wash, skip fabric softener, and tumble dry low to refresh the water-repellent finish.
