Technical Fabrics
The Active Jacket by Lululemon is designed to carry athletes and adventures through the transition of winter into spring. Incredibly lightweight, it is built from a DWR-treated Glyde fabric that is designed to minimize wind and rain and allow airflow through the addition of underarm vents.
