Made of the finest materials available, it features design and construction details specific to serious alpine pursuits. Two eVent® waterproof fabrics – strategically placed nylon ripstop and nylon taffeta – feature Direct Venting™ technology: water stays out while perspiration vapor escapes through microscopic nano-vents.

• Main fabric is an eVent® waterproof/air permeable laminate made of 40d x 40d with a 70d ripstop

• 100% ripstop nylon treated with DWR (durable water repellent) finish; it gets a 20,000mm/30,000 mvtr waterproof/breathable rating

• Helmet-compatible hood has a single adjustment at the back to snug the fit when needed; the stiffened brim can be shaped to deflect inclement weather

• Seams are placed away from shoulder tops and hips to avoid chafing under pack straps, pack belt, or harness

• Large, zippered hand pockets are placed high so as not to interfere with a harness or pack belt; when opened, they can be used to ventilate the core Sculpted, anatomically-patterned arm construction is designed for maximum comfort and mobility

• Hem adjustors are designed to prevent elastic cord from catching on harness or straps

• Two exterior chest pockets provide instant access to essentials
