AntiGravityGear Ultralight Rain Jacket w/ Pit Zips
Weight: 6.7 – 7.2 oz.
This shell is an ultralight, economical, and water-repellent. The AGG Rain Jacket has some exciting new features: a waterproof front zipper, 17″ long waterproof pit zips, an adjustable drawcord waist band, improved elastic and velcro adjustable wrist closures. We also have two new colors: Black, and Blaze Orange!
Our Rain Jackets are constructed from 40D Silnylon fabric, coated with Silicone Durable Water Repellent (DWR) Coating on both sides. All seams are stitched, then stitched again with a reinforcing 40D Silnylon tape trim, which encases the entirety of the seam to prevent water leakage. All zippers on the jacket are waterproof, with PU backing. Please note, considering our intense waterproofing standards, this jacket is NOT breathable. However, the pit-zips do offer much needed relief when you do need some air flow.
Available in Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. We advise ordering your normal size. These jackets are cut generously to fit over your layers, and make an excellent top layer for rain, snow and wind protection.
Please Note: Sold out sizes/colors are estimated to be restocked May 2019. Please add your email to the waiting list if you would like to be notified once restocked. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

HOW SHOULD I CARE FOR MY RAIN GEAR?
Caring for Your Rain Gear & Shelters: Helpful Tips
- Spot clean with a soft cell sponge and only enough mild, unscented detergent to get the job done
When cleaning your SilNylon or SilPoly gear, avoid machine washing or drying. Best practice is to hand-wash or spot clean with a soft cell sponge and only enough of a mild cleaning agent to get the job done – we recommend “Dr. Bronner’s” unscented soap. Avoid household cleaners such as detergent, dish soaps, bleach, spot removers or laundry presoaking products. Most of these cleaners can impair the gear’s durable water repellant (DWR) coating, as well as attract bugs and wildlife with the perfumes they contain. - Spot cleaning (bird feces, tree sap, etc.)
Tree sap (or pitch) is perhaps one of the most difficult things to remove. Avoidance of trees that drip sap is your number one strategy but can be unavoidable at times. Try not to allow pitch to remain on your gear for extended periods of time and remember to gently work it off with the least amount of detergent and scrubbing necessary to get the job done. - Once hand-washed, hang your gear in the shade to air dry
Extended exposure to the sun’s UV rays can speed up the natural degradation of your DWR gear. Also, machine dryers can generate enough heat to impair the performance of your gear. Dryers can also stretch the fabric, stress the seams, or cause excessive abrasion during the tumbling process (especially if the gear contains zippers or cord locks). Wait until your gear is fully dry before storing. For long term it is preferable to store your gear in a breathable bag or container large enough, so the gear will not be extremely compressed for long periods of time. Storing your gear when not completely dry for the long term long will cause mold and degradation of your gear’s DWR coating. - Seam seal your gear or apply supplemental DWR coating
Seams, even ones that are bound or taped, are vulnerable areas on water-repellent or waterproof gear. To avoid possible leakage at the seams over time, you may use a Seam Sealant. Additionally, if you find you ever need to re-coat worn areas to re-waterproof or extend the life of your gear, you may easily do so with a coat of paint-on or spray-on DWR Sealant. Brands like “Gear Aid” and “Atsko” offer sealants for specific areas, fabrics and coatings. If you’re treating an item coated with Silicone (i.e. AGG Rain Gear), be sure to use a Silicone based DWR spray. We recommend “Atsko Silicone Water-Guard”.
No matter the product, it’s important to monitor and maintain your gear for optimal performance.

The highlight of this special umbrella is its telescope fiber glass shaft which is variably extendable up to one metre in length and can be fixed at any height by a small twisting movement. By means of two accompanying turnable clips to be fastened at the front with Velcro strips to the two carrying belts of the backpack the umbrella can be positioned to the right or the left according to the direction of the wind. the elastic carrying loop at the umbrella handle serves as flexible fastening to the hip belt.
Without doubt, its greatest advantage is that hands stay completely free, free for trekking poles, free to hold on to somewhere but also to change a lens, work the GPS or look at the walking map. It is also extremely useful as a protection from rain or sun for small kids riding on their parents´s backs in a carrying seat.
Of course it can also be used as a completely ordinary trekking umbrella. A comfortable velvety handle of touch-friendly high density EVA hard foam offers the highest possible carrying comfort. With a diameter of 114cm it is large enough in any case to protect both hiker and backpack from rain well and reliably.
The choice of material and workmanship of this trekking umbrella meets the special wear and tear when walking and hikers´high requirements to their equipment. A particularly lightweight and highly tear-resistant Polyester fabric with Teflon ® coating is used for the canopy. The entire umbrella frame consists of elastic and extremely break-proof fiber glass material. The frame is nearly completely metal-free and so corrosion-proof.
