FM-202 Foray Tactical Shell — Side-Zip Ventilation System
$69.00 USD
The FM-202 Foray is a 3-layer waterproof/windproof shell built around full-length side-zip ventilation. The TorsoFlo side zippers open from hem to underarm to dump heat fast on steep climbs, then seal shut against wind and rain. Taped seams and a weatherproof construction make it a reliable all-conditions layer for active mountain use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do the side-zip vents work?
A: The TorsoFlo zippers run the full length of each side and open from the hem upward, letting you dump large amounts of heat quickly without removing the jacket.
Is this shell fully waterproof?
A: Yes. It uses a 3-layer waterproof/breathable laminate with taped seams to handle sustained rain and wind, not just a light drizzle.
Can I wear it over insulation?
A: Yes. The cut leaves room to layer a fleece or light insulator underneath, and the side zips make it easy to pull on over bulkier layers.
Will it overheat on hard climbs?
A: The full-length vents plus the breathable membrane are designed specifically to manage heat during high-output effort.
How do I care for it?
A: Wash cold with a technical wash, skip the fabric softener, and tumble dry low to reactivate the DWR. Re-apply spray-on DWR once water stops beading.
