Custom gear used to cost a lot of money. But with patterns like the UL Windshell pattern from Learn MYOG, you can have a personalized shell for a fraction of the cost.

A great shell is versatile, and this one is no different. Made with one of the suggested fabrics that is water resistant, wind resistant, and breathable (for a shell), this is an item you’ll always have in your pack.

UL Windshell Features

The UL Windshell pattern helps you create the layering system you’ve always wanted. Great features, great fabrics, and a great pattern put you in the driver seat of your gear. Now you don’t have to settle for store bought gear and you don’t have to mortgage your house to get it made.

More Info

Paired with a mid-layer (like the Alpha Raglan Hoodie pattern), this shell will provide puffy jacket-like qualities without having to pack both items.

A great shell also has a good fit. This jacket has Raglan sleeves which allow for a high range of motion and move the seams low on the chest to avoid hot spots. A well-fitted hood with brim stiffener and optional cord channel help keep your visibility even when the weather goes awry. Detailed illustrations to help you taper the fit to your body.

Sewing Skill Level – Advanced Beginner

While a beginner can make this project, familiarity with sewing terms and construction techniques is expected. For best results, a serger is recommended. A zig zag or overcast stitch will work but results may vary based on individual skill. This is a great beginner garment pattern with technical ultralight woven fabrics. Make a prototype and have fun!
