![]() ![]() I created the Can Holder! It’s essentially a downsized stem bag meant to hold a single beer, seltzer, soda or other similarly sized bubbly bev. I want to be able to do the things I love while sipping a cold, bubbly beverage- but my hands get all tied up. While perfect for hiking in monsoon season, the lightweight and high packability means they're perfect for any scenario where a quick passing storm may occur (such as summer outdoor concerts) and function as a great windbreaker & lightweight layer for travel as well.ġ.1oz Silnylon 1.1 oz ECO Silpoly 1.0 oz MONOLITE, 420D ROBIC Ripstop Nylon, Anchorable Cordlock YKK #3 URETEK Separating Zipper - 32" 1/16" shock cord 3/8" MIL-SPEC Nylon Grosgrain Ribbon The jackets stuff into the hand pocket for maximum packability. The hood brims are stiffened with 420D robic ripstop nylon. Both feature a cinch-cord at the hood, waterproof main body zippers, two hand pockets reinforced with grosgrain to prevent snagging the fabric in the zipper, 1oz monolite mesh armpit gussets to eliminate the bulk of pit zips while enabling some airflow in these otherwise unbreathable jackets, and elastic cuffs. I made mine using 1.1 oz silnylon, and his using 1.1oz eco silpoly. These weigh less than 1/3 of our 3-layer RTW shells. Mine weighs 3.25oz and his weights 3.6oz. ![]() I made two ultralight rain jackets for me and my partner. These quick storms render a full blown heavy duty rain jacket not entirely necessary, and at 9+ oz, a lot of extra weight to carry. During monsoon season in the Utah mountains, storms often blow through quickly bringing a heavy but short rainfall in the afternoons, often coupled with lightning and thunder.
