Making weight the primary goal, GoLite opted to exclude other potential features. For example, there are no zippers on the pant legs, and only two large hand pockets on the coat. Both jacket and pant offer a loose, comfortable fit, allowing layer apparel underneath. For waterproofness, they feature two-layer laminated ripstop nylon. The front zipper has a flap cover or storm gutter.
Snaps keep the flap down in strong weather.
The hood gives ample head and face protection and has drawstrings to cinch it down. The sleeve cuffs are elastic for a tight fit. A long cut allows the jacket to cover the pant top even when under a pack. All seams a fully taped. On the pant, the ankles are open for ventilation, and the waist elasticized with a draw cord.
