Featuring impressively breathable and weather-resistant Pertex® Quantum Air outer fabric and warming PrimaLoft® Gold Active+ insulation, this jacket will adapt to the moments when you are standing still, or the times when you’re scrambling to the summit in full swing. With Thermic™ stretch fleece side panels to offer extra moveability at minimal bulk, this softshell jacket features an under-the-helmet hood that helps to seal in warmth from the wind and pre-curved, articulated sleeves to ensure unhindered mobility as you make that last push. Two zippered hand pockets prove useful for chilly hands and hiking must-haves alike, with one pocket doubling as an integrated storage pocket to stuff the jacket into when the weather has lightened up. Stash the jacket away in a pack or pull it on for an extra layer of warmth as you embark on your next mountain adventure in changeable conditions. Eliminate the need to stop and change layers as you close in on the summit, with this highly breathable and adaptable synthetic insulated jacket. It combines PrimaLoft Gold Active+ insulation, which breathes and insulates through peaks and troughs of activity, with low-bulk Thermic stretch fleece side panels that offer superb mobility and make the jacket easy to layer. The breathable yet wind-resistant Pertex Quantum Air fabric deflects windchill while responding to your output, keeping you comfortable on tough ascents in mixed conditions. The result is lightweight, packable active insulation you can wear as a warm layer or technical outer, from the dawn start to the summit push.
