Introducing
GRIDLINE ANORAK
WATERPROOF SHELL
IT GOES WEATHER OR NOT
The Gridline Anorak is a minimalist, packable layer that lives in your pack, ready for whatever passing shower rolls in, forecasted or not. It’s built for everyday trail weather and its light, just-in-case simplicity and functionality is exactly where it shines.
CALL IN THE REINFORCEMENTS
For years, we’ve built packs and shelters around one idea: carry only what you need. The Gridline Anorak brings that thinking to the essentials that already live in your kit. Many ultralight shells give up full waterproofing to save ounces, so we drew on what we’ve learned from Dyneema and from years of shoulder straps chewing through traditional fabrics to build something better. The result is a minimalist, fully waterproof 3-layer shell, reinforced against pack wear and light enough to carry on every trip.
MADE OF TOUGHER STUFF
The ingredients are the difference. The Gridline Anorak is built with the unique 3-layer UL Dyneema® Ripstop fabric for waterproof protection and exceptional tear resistance.
NYLON/DYNEEMA® RIPSTOP FACE
Tough, abrasion-resistant ripstop with a PFAS-free water-repellent finish.
Waterproof PU membrane
Sealed between the face and the backer, it blocks rain and wind and lets sweat escape.
Tricot scrim backer
Soft next to skin, and it protects the membrane so the jacket lasts longer.
SAY NO WAY TO A RAIN DELAY
FIT FOR THE FORECAST
Adjustable hood
A crown adjustment locks it in place, an elastic opening keeps it snug, and a hook stows the cord slack.
2-way chest zip
Unzip from the top or bottom to vent on the move without taking off your shell.
Pit zips
Long underarm zips dump heat fast on steep climbs and stay reachable with pack straps on.
Chest pocket
A welt-covered zip sheds water and keeps small essentials dry.

Questions
How do I wash and care for it?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical wash. Tumble dry on low when you need to reinvigorate the water-repellent finish on the face fabric. Don’t use permethrin on the jacket.
How does the fit differ between men's and women's?
Women's is cut with a shorter torso, narrower shoulders and more room through the hip. Both are relaxed enough to layer a puffy underneath.
WHY AN ANORAK STYLE?
We chose the Anorak style because a shorter zipper is lighter and reduces even more of the risk of water finding a way through. This style of pullover is also more comfortable with a hip belt.
How does Dyneema® compare to nylon ripstop?
In independent lab tests against an equivalent nylon 20d ripstop, Gridline fabric showed up to 3.2× higher tear strength and up to 2.7× more resistance to a puncture spreading, at the same light weight.
Does it pack into its own hood?
Yes — roll it into the hood and cinch. Packed size is roughly 9" × 4".
Is the DWR PFAS-free?
Yes — and so is the rest of the jacket. Every component of the Gridline, from the C0 water-repellent finish to the membrane, zippers, and trims, is proudly PFAS-free. No forever chemicals, no compromise in performance.
