With this superior jacket on your back, you'll stay dry and warm, even if you find yourself in the middle of monsoon season in Shillong, India. Trust us, it rains a lot there. Even if you're not a guide, you'll enjoy the waterproof protection of this Men's Varius Guide Jacket from The North Face. It's a versatile technical hard shell that works well for camping, traveling and conducting field research. The Varius Guide Jacket is seam sealed and breathable, but it doesn't have a fleece lining or insulation. This makes it ideal for mild temperates and tropical climates where rain falls in dense, shimmering sheets of precipitation. The fully adjustable--and removable--hood extends upward to protect your lower face from wind and water. Pit-zip vents beneath the sleeves allow you to increase the airflow inside this jacket without soaking your clothing. An internal zippered security pocket keeps important documents and small electronics secure and out of the elements. If you need to add in additional clothing layers, The Men's Varius Guide Jacket is fully Zip-in compatible with identically-sized fleece insulation pieces made by The North Face.
