A tip of the hat to its namesake, the Halifax Gibbet (guillotine), this “headless” or hoodless Wind Cheater has all the essential features covered. Soft and quiet with a Durable Water Repellant (DWR) finish, it breathes like a T-shirt, sheds wind, and dries very quickly.
• Ultralight breathable shell
• Durable Water Repellent (DWR) Finish
• Hoodless
• Made in USA
This is not a rain proof jacket, but it will shed some moisture thanks to the DWR coating and will dry very quickly. Great compression and features bungees at the bottom to cinch the jacket tightly. A longer tail in the back is perfect for range days and keeping you out of the elements.
It has sleek, large bicep pockets that will fit your essentials. The Halifax Jacket is “true to fit”, your t-shirt size is your jacket size. If you wear a large shirt and don’t plan to layer heavily underneath, go with a large Halifax Jacket. The sizing is also identical to our popular Wind Cheater jacket.
