A 3L shell is your best bet when venturing out beyond the safety of a resort. Year after year, the quality of the highly technical shell jackets becomes higher – a reassuring development for those who live for venturing out into the wild. The FW Manifest Tour 3L Jacket is manufactured with high-quality materials. It doesn’t sacrifice on style, and you’ll be wearing it for years to come quite frankly.

New for 20/21, FW’s introduced the Manifest tour garment to their range. The Manifest Tour jacket delivers on functionality, style, and sustainability. By using a 4-way stretch nylon fabric, FW has made the jacket ultra-waterproof (20k) and breathable (20k), meaning it can keep the elements out, let moisture out, and move with your body movements (thanks to its stretchiness).

The precise cut of the jacket isn’t just a benefit when it comes to style but also cuts down on any excess weight. There’s also a large chest pocket with a laser-cut mesh lining for improved breathability and a waterproof sleeve pocket to stash anything from snacks, to cards, to lift passes.

FW is a firm believer in the durability of a product because they believe a product’s environmental impact is related to its life expectancy. This is why the company offers a repair service to further extend the life of their products (“we always aim to repair rather than replace, as we seek to keep our products out of landfill”). The company is also a member of 1% for the Planet, meaning one per cent of their sales goes directly to support non-profit organisations that do good things for the environment.

Designed with backcountry adventures in mind, the FW Manifest Tour 3L Jacket is a performance jacket that adapts to its surroundings. It can be paired up with the equally durable FW Manifest Tour 3L bib.
