The Oxygen 2.0 is the ultimate stowable shell, according to La Sportiva. It certainly meets race requirements for a backup layer, while being extremely light. The 100% nylon fabric also meets the wind-blocking and water-resistant requirements for a fast and functional ski layer. And the built-in stow pocket with a buckled waistband meets easy-to-pack and easy-to-carry requirements. We’re not sure all those facts qualify as “ultimate”, but ultimately you won’t regret having the Oxygen 2.0 jacket in your pack or on your hip.
- Wind-blocking and water-shedding properties of nylon in a full-zip hoodie.
- Thumbholes on the cuff help keep the arms in place during mad ridge scrambles.
- Mesh stow pocket lets you stuff the windbreaker into a tiny parcel.
- Elastic waistband with buckles lets you carry said parcel on your waist.
