The Salewa Puez Aqua 4 Powertex 2.5L men's jacket is ideal for hiking and trekking, providing excellent waterproof and windproof protection. To emphasise that this jacket is made for action, Salewa has given the Puez ergonomically shaped sleeves to help increase your range of movement.
The Powertex fabric used to make the Puez Aqua is a highly durable and breathable material that, aside from being waterproof and windproof, also helps wick moisture away, evaporating it to make sure there's no build-up of internal condensation. This will leave you feeling warm, dry, and comfortable throughout the day, which makes the Puez Powertex an excellent jacket for hiking.
The Puez is super-packable too, so you can easily fold it up and stow it in the small integrated compression pouch, and take it with you wherever you go. The Puez Aqua 4 also features multiple pockets with waterproof zips, and all the seams have been sealed to prevent water from seeping in. The hem and cuffs are adjustable as well, so you can be sure of a comfortable fit, and the hood with a visor can be stowed away in the collar too.
This Puez Powertex from Salewa is a highly technical jacket that will see plenty of use as a versatile layer out on your hike.
Great jacket, really basic but light, packable & waterproof with 2 pockets & a decent hood which is exactly what I was after. It fits on the small side though so I'd recommend 1 size up.
