Perfect for an epic climb to basecamp, a rigorous day of alpine touring, a fast push on snowshoes. The REI Kulshan jacket with eVent™ fabric is now equipped with a Recco® reflector.
- eVent fabric has a unique membrane structure that allows sweat vapor to escape to the outside of the fabric easily
- No matter how hard you work, overheating is unlikely due to this Direct Venting™ Technology
- And because you remain dry on the inside, the likelihood of an uncomfortable, post-exercise chill is eliminated
- eVent technology works so efficiently, no pit zippers are needed; all seams are sealed for complete waterproof protection
- Recco reflector embedded in the right sleeve can help searchers find you in snow; it complements, but does not replace, the use of avalanche transceivers
- Integrated, helmet-compatible hood is drawcord adjustable and offers full visibility
- Features adjustable hem drawcord and snow-resistant rip-and-stick cuff tabs
- 2 mesh-lined front pockets are placed to clear shoulder straps and hipbelt; also features zip stash pocket on the sleeve
- 2 inner stretch-mesh pockets will hold skins and one has an earphone cord port
- Windproof to 60 mph
- Please note: This backcountry jacket does not have a powder skirt, keeping the weight and bulk to a minimum
Imported.

Comments about REI Kulshan Jacket with eVent Fabric - Women's:
This jacket is lightweight, comfortable, has a very flattering fit and has room for undergarments. I usually get hot and sweaty in most rainwear and this is delightful. I absolutely love the pockets, inside(lots of storage) and out (they are placed for comfort... walking as well as with a backpack) it even has an ipod pocket and one on the sleeve. The hood is adjustable to your head, with or without helmet. The only negatives are I wasn't crazy about the colors and went with the green but it is a nice green. Also, I am short and the sleeves are long (I have this problem with most coats) I was able to cuff the bottoms easily and it looks ok, but I will not be able to use the velcro. Although pricey I love this jacket! I use it for hiking, walking and all around town. I plan to take it to Alaska in the spring. It is light and I know will pack easily. Wear it alone or with warmer underneath, you can not go wrong with this jacket and I cannot say enough good things about it.

Comments about REI Kulshan Jacket with eVent Fabric - Women's:
This is the best wet weather jacket ever! I bought this jacket for a southeast asia trip I took. Being the rainy season and still super hot and humid (~80F temp, >90% humidity), I was so happy to have this jacket with me! It really does breathe so well! I was not hot inside my jacket at all. I was a little weary paying so much for such a lightweight jacket, but it really does perform like it says it does, and more! This should be the only raincoat you will ever need. It packs nice and if temps drop, just layer some clothes underneath and you'll be good to go. I love this jacket and highly recommend it!!!

Comments about REI Kulshan Jacket with eVent Fabric - Women's:
I love this jacket. I bought the Mountain Orange color and have gotten compliments on it every time I wear it. Very flattering fit, even if you wear bulky items underneath. The sleeve is a tad bit long for my taste, for I usually wear gloves and do not need the extra protection on my hand, but that is just a personal preference. The hood fits perfectly over my bicycle helmet so it helps keep my head warm as I am cycling on rainy days. And an unexpected bonus...my new recumbent trike is the exact same color so I am stylin' as I ride!! How cool is that?!

Comments about REI Kulshan Jacket with eVent Fabric - Women's:
I wore this jacket snowboarding and snowshoeing this weekend. It was warm and sunny, so I was afraid I might overheat, but it kept me very confortable. My old jacket was a Marmot Precip, and I can tell you that the REI Kulshan is far superior. The fabric feels better, it is much more breathable even without pit zips, the sleeves offer more coverage, and there are more pockets. The snow was melting off the trees while I was snowshoeing, so it was quite wet. The jacket performed flawlessly. The zipper is a bit hard to get started, since it's coated for waterproofness, but other than that, it's perfect. I also love the mountain orange color.

Comments about REI Kulshan Jacket with eVent Fabric - Women's:
This jacket seriously ROCKS! It fits well, has ample, conveniently placed pockets, a hood that can be cinched down to fit without a helmet, and sleeves long enough to allow layering and to cover glove liners. I happen to love the safety orange color. I used this jacket in Antarctica, worn over a down parka and other base layers. Winds there were up to 45 knots and temperatures below freezing--I was always protected and warm without overheating. This fabric is light, breathable, and completely waterproof/windproof. I will definitely use it for less harsh conditions and local hikes as well. There is no better shell on the market. Worth every penny.

Comments about REI Kulshan Jacket with eVent Fabric - Women's:
The rainy season is coming and I needed a bike jacket. I hope this was worth it for the $$$. Very lightweight, the orange is bright but not neon. Very well tailored.
The hood would be cumbersome without having a helmet on (or switching back and forth). The front pockets are unusable wearing a messenger bag (with cross-strap) but are great with my camping backpack. The side pocket would be great if it could hold my sunglasses, but it's too small.

Comments about REI Kulshan Jacket with eVent Fabric - Women's:
I agree that this is a great looking and functional waterproof jacket. I've even taken mine skiing on warm days. My only complaint is the zipper sticks. I have to fuss with it a few times before it zips up.

Comments about REI Kulshan Jacket with eVent Fabric - Women's:
My husband and I both have the eVent jackets. The fabric is absolutely fantastic, I have never owned a jacket that breathes as much as this one and we've worn our jackets everywhere from steamy jungles to frigid ski slopes! This product falls down on the design. The zipper is just too small and sticks every time, especially when it is wet...which seems to be the point of the jacket. The shaping of the women's jacket means that the zipper sticks just where the jacket curves in. My zipper is now bent there from having been stuck there so many times. The pockets are at a ridiculous angle and stuff just falls out, there also aren't enough of them. Why can't they be like the pockets on the men's jacket? I hear there may be a new version of this jacket in the pipeline...great, I hope the designers pick up on these faults and are able to make the next version better, it is a very expensive item to get wrong.
