The Ossa Stowhood is an ultra-lightweight softshell jacket engineered to provide superior protection against solar radiation and wind. Its construction features a stretch nylon fabric with a UPF 50+ rating, offering enhanced durability compared to standard sun or wind shirts of similar weight. The material is slightly stretchy, highly breathable, and wind-resistant, making it an ideal technical layer when a t-shirt provides insufficient thermal insulation or weather protection.

This model is characterized by its enhanced functionality, including a low-profile adjustable hood that can be stowed into the collar via a zipper. The configuration includes a zippered chest pocket, secure hand pockets, and a full-length front zipper. Elasticized finishes at the cuffs, hood, and hem ensure a stable fit and consistent protection, making this piece a versatile gear choice for a wide variety of outdoor activities.
