Stash Jacket
$100.00
Using our lightweight tarp fabric results in a jacket made from fully waterproof/windproof fabric that has the weight and pack-ability of many lightweight windbreakers. While the fabric isn’t breathable, it does have 22″ long adjustable pit-zips for ventilation. Like any jacket made from coated fabric, it is designed more for lower activity level use due to lower breathability fabric. It compresses to about the size of a tennis ball so it’s a great size/weight to keep in the bottom of your pack for unexpected rain or heavy wind anytime you don’t want to carry a full-on breathable rain shell or when you feel like you might want more protection than a typical breathable windbreaker (It blocks wind like a brick wall) It has no pockets, but the pit zips come down far enough to slightly open and access the side pockets of any jacket you might be wearing underneath. Due to it being silicone-coated fabric, it isn’t seam taped, although the user could seam-seal it with silicone if fully waterproof seams are desired. The shoulder seams are oriented off to the sides of the shoulders and in general you can expect very little water to make it through the seams. Due to the jacket being sold with the seams un-sealed, we are not advertising this as a “rain” jacket, but you can expect it to be windproof and much more water resistant than a typical windbreaker made of lightweight DWR treated fabric. We’ve tested it in moderate rain for up to an hour with nothing more than extremely minimal leakage through the un-sealed seams.
The version made from our quilt fabric is the same design other than the fabric used. Using our quilt fabric makes for a typical un-lined windbreaker that is wind and water resistant. This fabric is a 20d nylon or polyester high threadcount tightly woven fabric, heavily calendared on one side for max windbreak and treated with a DWR water resistant finish, not as wind or water resistant as the tarp fabric option, but it’s much more breathable and well suited for high activity levels.

I’m very impressed with this jacket, and especially the hood. I’m reviewing an XL version made out of the tarp material. I’m 6′ 2″ and 240, and the cut is plenty large enough in the body to fit over several insulating layers. It is just long enough in the torso and sleeves, though, so I am glad that I did not get the L. The hood is fantastic, and was the first thing that I noticed because I’ve had many other more expensive rain coats and their hoods nearly always ended up restricting my vision while turning my head, while this Stash Jacket manages to give a nice snug fit no matter how I turn my head.
The zipper is large, which makes for easy use with gloves on. The side zips are great; I can even slip my hands into my pants pockets through them. The only changes that I would recommend that wouldn’t change the nature of the garment would be a lightweight drawstring incorporated into the waist to seal that against the wind, and perhaps just a little more length in the sleeves/torso.
I’m quite happy so far, and would recommend this.

I love this jacket. It is elegant in it’s simple design to fit over bulky jacket or just a t-shirt, 2-way zippered vents that allow access to your pockets, a draw string hood, and a little extra length in sleeves and the back to help cover your butt biking in the rain or sitting on a wet log. It does not have what it does not need: pockets ,or a two way zipper down the front because its stuff sack is so small it fits in the pocket of your shorts! At 5’9″ and 190 lb. my XL DWR fits comfortably over a bulky jacket and completely blocks the wind and the wet on the ATV or duck boat before dawn. But I think a size L would probably be adequate. It’s so small, lightweight and inexpensive, I plan to get at least one more: perfect to leave one in each pack for hunting, mountain biking, backcountry skiing, or even the golf bag! And I do love the custom “bushwhack” camo pattern too…

I bought my stash jacket about 5 months ago. I have used it extensively since purchasing both at work and on the trail. I purchased a larger size than needed because I wanted “air circulation” to keep cool when wearing on the trail and the room to wear thicker clothes underneath it. Because I ordered a larger size, the jacket hangs about mid-thigh, which I love because I get great rain coverage. I have worn this in some serious wind and rain, and have not gotten wet at all. I love how the hoodie fits and does not allow water to run down my neck. The elastic on the sleeve is not too tight either. I do not feel the zippers underneath the arms at all – they do not “catch or scratch” my arms or clothes. I haven’t had any rain leaks in the zippers. This is the first raincoat that I actually like. It packs up so compact, you can take it anywhere at anytime. I love it!

I just received my Stash Jacket. I am 6’4″ 310 lbs. I purchased the XL and am pleased at its size. The jacket is very light weight, fits into a small stuff sack provided with the jacket, and all of the stitching and zippers were very clean. I believe I can easily add a hoodie or thin packable down jacket without causing the stash to become tight on my body. Living in Florida I primarily just need a solid rain protector and this jacket will be part of my every day carry. Thanks for another piece of quality equipment!!

This really is a fantastic, super-lightweight waterproof layer. You’re gonna sweat inside if you’re active in this thing, but that’s what you’re getting here: a fully waterproof shell that blocks rain completely, and it’s better to be wet and warm from your sweat on the inside than it is to wet out and carry a bunch of cold rain that soaked through. Pit zips are huge and ventilate the jacket very well, btw.
If I was to change one thing about the Stash Jacket, I’d sacrifice a little of the weight to add elastic around the waist; this thing is so lightweight, it has a tendency to ride up a bit on me otherwise, which lets in a little more wind than I’d like.
I’m 6’2″, 205 lb. with a long torso and arms; the large fits me very well around the hood and body, though it’s a little big around the waist.

We are now offering this jacket in 2 different fabric types, our silicone coated tarp fabric which is less breathable but more water resistant, and also our downproof quilt fabric which is much more breathable but not quite as waterproof as the tarp fabric.

Hope you eventually make a small for women/youth.
