From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Arc'teryx Squamish Windshell is an ideal ultralight wind-blocking layer. Made from ultralight rip-stop nylon, the Squamish Windshell packs into its own pocket so you can toss it in your pack and forget about it until you need a little protection on a windy ridge or run. The Squamish Windshell is a must-have for late spring, summer and early fall adventures.

From Backcountry Outlet:
"It's the last run of the last day of the Tahoe ski season. As you stand at the top of Siberia Bowl looking down, the wind picks up and the temperature suddenly drops, so you pull the Arc'teryx Men's Squamish Windshell Jacket out of your pack. This lightweight, compressible wind shell covers your rear at the bottom and fits over your helmet at the top. The 3/4-length zipper saves on weight and bulk, and built-in stretch mobility gives you the confidence to point and chute."

"I'd been looking for a decent hooded windshirt for a while, and this seemed to be just the thing I was after. I have a number of softshells, but I wanted something lighter for days when I wouldn't be doing too much technical climbing but wanted something to keep the weather out."
