Every layer in the Stash System packs into its own pocket and straps to your bike, your pack or your belt. No stuff sack to lose, and no pack to carry just to bring a shell.
Three steps, and the last one is riding.
1. Stash
Turn the garment into its own zippered pocket and compress it down.
2. Clip or stuff
Use the built-in strap to attach the bundle to your bike, or drop it in your pack.
3. Go
The layer travels with you instead of on you.
Nothing is bolted on to make this work. The stash pocket is a functioning pocket when you're wearing the layer and a stuff sack when you're not. On the Guardian Air Jacket it's the deep internal dump pocket, sized to take a phone, a multi-tool or a pair of gloves while you ride.
Shoulder season is the problem this solves. Conditions change faster than you can plan for, so you either overdress, carry a pack you don't want, or stretch a jersey pocket out of shape. A layer that stows to its own size and rides on the bike removes the decision.
