Surprisingly large fit for a Euro piece.
I’m a medium in most Euro brands (5’8”, 155#): SkiTrab race suit, Crazy, Ortovox, and Dynafit.
But for this piece, a medium fit like a US medium (too big), so I exchanged it for a small.
Other than that, my first impression is positive. Seems like a good piece.
Ski Trab Gara Aero Jacket 2.1
Race weight, fully waterproof, and breathable, the trifecta! Ski Trab consistently pushes boundaries with their hard goods, and they do the same with their clothing. The Gara Aero Jacket is an extremely lightweight outer shell built for wet weather. With a 15k / 15k waterproof-to-breathability rating, it’ll hold up to consistent rain and still allow moisture to escape during aerobic activity. It’s light and packable enough that you won’t notice it at the bottom of your pack for everyday touring, and just about the lightest option you can get if a race mandates it. You’ll be glad you have it when the water’s coming down.
Pick up a pair of the matching overpants for a full waterproof kit.
- Packable, lightweight, and race-requirement-ready, for a truly versatile shell.
- 100% Nylon construction is windproof and waterproof, keeping the elements at bay.
