Active Junky alert: buying a windshirt is not an exercise in consumerism, at least with Sierra Designs. Testers found reasons to keep All Season close during late summer alpine exploits, travel to South America and late night Chipotle runs. Pushing back breezes while staying breathable put this one on the must-carry list for multi-season travelers. Sierra Designs blows by competitive styles with enough plush to wear for hours under AC-blasting airplane nozzles. The zips, pulls, toggle tensioners and lay-flat hood performed flawlessly as well. Technically, Windjacket’s a 4-way stretch softshell with higher, pack-compatible pockets. Call it one of 2014’s screaming apparel values and you’re getting warmer.
