What is the main advantage of the cropped design?
The cropped design offers increased mobility and freedom of movement, making it comfortable for active pursuits and easier to layer with longer tops.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside after activity.
Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and that the garment is breathable. Check if the ventilation needs adjustment. If persistent, consider washing and reapplying DWR treatment.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small brush. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
