Bamboo Charcoal Yarn

A unique liner of bamboo charcoal yarn offers natural insulating, antimicrobial, odor-fighting, and moisture-wicking performance, keeping you warm, fresh, and sweat-free. The renewable raw materials used make it earth friendly to boot!

Integrated Softshell

A hooded softshell with wind resistance and a durable water repellent (DWR) finish provides protection from the elements. Unique double-weave construction combines the softshell with the bamboo charcoal inner face as a seamless whole, delivering integrated, efficient moisture transport from the wicking inside to the highly breathable outside.

Easy Movin'

Lightweight construction with 4-way stretch combines with underarm gussets and articulated sleeves to ensure easy, unencumbered movement.

I’ve owned a few different soft shells...

I’m talking Ferossi’s, Betas, and Gammas. I never thought anyone could top my long gone PCU Level 5 I was issued in 2009. But Beyond did. I wear this over an Atom LT hoodie with a t shirt under it hiking with my dog in 30-40 degrees and am just fine. Cant wait for spring when I can just throw it on. And something I’m finding out, the more you wear it, the more comfortable the jacket gets. Like a great pair of jeans. So awesome at an unbeatable price.

This jacket works by itself and with layers: Excellent

The Modus jacket is an amazing fit for me, a large for 5'8" 177lbs. It cuts wind, worked with a puffy vest at 20 degrees on an XC ski trip and handled the light moisture well. There are so many pockets I'm afraid I might temporarily lose something!! The chest pocket is large enough to stuff valuables and a phone. The hand-warming pockets are surpisingly large. I carried gloves there and put my hands in occasionally and there was plenty of room. It looks as good as it is functional. I'm happy to have stumbled on Beyond Clothing.

Very satisfied

Functional & Stylish

Love the green color and MT sizing. Very functional, with stretch, and excellent hood function. I would have liked pit zips instead of arm pockets which is the reason I would rate this 4 stars.

Best Clothing for Exploring or Relaxing

I’m a huge fan of Beyond clothing! Every piece of clothing they produce is carefully crafted and designed taking into account every single aspect to fully deliver exceptional quality, comfort and durability. The layering system they have is brilliant - from the K5 Modus Shells to their base layers they legitimately work exactly as they describe. I tend to run hot so having a system that makes sense helps me plan for the activity. The K5 Modus Shell is the best of both worlds: breathable and protective, which is unheard of for most shells (think brand that rhymes with shmattagonia). I would recommend this brand to anyone!
