The way you make a wind shell more versatile is by adding a measure of rain protection. With the Pearl Izumi Women’s Zephrr Barrier Jacket Pearl Izumi treated this lightweight ripstop nylon outer layer with PI Dryreg to make it handy not just in the wind but in light showers as well. The result is a technical garment that offers extra protection on long descents or cool days. Rounding out the Zephrr’s feature set are drawstrings for easy adjustability and a generous fit.
