The Gwitha (Guard/Protect) is one of most interesting and exciting products in the KAS layering line up. Gwitha is a 3,000mm water repellant, windcheating, breathable outer shell with a soft touch finish in a ultra-compressible package (it would fit into an under saddle bag!). Use this layer to construct a multitude of other garments, the most versatile of which may be the combining of The Gwitha with The Strik. Together these two items create all the form and functionality of a soft-shell jacket but with greater versatility! Get more value from your wardrobe.Ideal in the sun as an ultralight long-sleeved UV protector in a day and age when we are all becoming more skin care conscious. The space saving Gwitha allows you to combine The Strik with a wicking T-Shirt or Tesa base layer for everyday fitness activities such as running, cycling, tennis, hockey practices.

Good but not brilliant.
Was great for the first 24 miles of a 33 mile ultra run, then it got waterlogged and stopped being effective I had to change into a different jacket. The waterproof coating seems to have been washed off by the one and only time I wore it in the rain which is disappointing. The lightness of the jacket is great and the fit was good, it could do with an elasticated drawstring at the waist and in the collar to help keep wind and rain out more effectively, a lightweight roll away hood would be a great addition.

Very light and packs away into a small bag which fits into the very small compartment in my Camelbak..
