The waterproof and breathable athletic style is designed to keep wearers feeling comfortable and dry. The jacket is supportive of a variety of active pursuits, including hiking, running and even cycling, as the adjustable hood is capable of accommodating a helmet. Like other adidas products that have been created in collaboration with Parley for the Oceans, this one is partially made with Parley [Ocean Plastic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-landscapes-collection), which comes from collecting recycled waste littering beaches and coastal communities. The recycled ocean plastic jacket is also available for women.
