A196 Hurricane Shirt

/ Problem

Combating wind chill without overheating is an age-old problem. The faster the wind, the more heat is lost, intensifying the chill. Even if the air temperature isn’t dangerously low, wind chill can make conditions feel much colder, increasing the risk of frostbite or hypothermia.

/ Solution

The Hurricane blocks wind from penetrating the inner layers, preventing heat from being swept away through convection. In cold environments, this wind-blocking layer preserves body heat, significantly improving comfort and operational capability.

The ultimate fusion of lightweight comfort and robust windproof protection. Your first defence line against wind and rain.

The A196 Hurricane Shirt incorporates some of the best elements of three of our favourite products. It introduces new features and design aspects from our Elite Jackets on too the simple frame of the Stowaway, while also adding an upgraded front pocket courtesy of developments to our Mammoth Shirt. All this merged together while maintaining the quality and design our customers love.

The new hood features the same 3-point adjustment found in our Vulcan and Stealth, with a combination wire and foam peaked hood. We have added Velcro adjustment to the cuffs and modified the bottom hem with a side-set anchored cinch to support the new dropped rear hem.

The Hurricane Shirt offers ample storage with two stacked front pockets. The first is a top-access zip pocket that can store small items and devices and serves as the stuff sack for the shirt. The second pocket behind the first is a hoodie-style pocket with a zip closure, perfect for warming your hands.

All zips on the Hurricane Shirt come with storm flaps for extra protection and are YKK-branded.
