Adventure Travel March/April 2009 Ion Windshirt

The Ion is a classic, well made wind resistant jacket, aimed at outdoor enthusiasts of every type. The fabric is light enough to pack small and weigh little in pack, but robust enough to provide a higher level of protection than many on test, and stand up to a bit of on trail abuse. We’d have liked a hem drawcord to go with the rollaway adjustable hood, elasticated cuffs and single zipped chest/stow pocket. In a line: Low key, sturdy and protective.
