if the rain and wind just wont let up but you still want to go biking, trekking or mountaineering, then all you need is a good jacket that will effectively protect against the cold and rain -- like the aegis jacket by houdini. its three--layered hardshell fabric is completely wind and waterproof, and will keep you dry in every weather. as the jacket is specially developed for sports, a material is used that will always wick moisture outwards. it is partially made of stretchy material, which means it moves with you and will not hinder any movement while skiing or mountain biking. steep ascents or long days of touring can be quite demanding -- that is why there are zippers under the arms to prevent overheating. the hood is helmet--compatible and fits over all standard ski, cycling or climbing helmets. it can be fastened using various elastic cords, so the head can still move freely and the field of vision is not restricted. a drawstring in the hem and adjustable sleeve cuffs can also be used to individually fit the jacket to the wearer.a variety of pockets completes the trimmed down aegis jacket by houdini and makes it very useful for a number of different sports.
