Outstanding wind resistance meets the peerless breathability of our Vapour-Rise™ technology. This lightweight softshell provides weather protection for the most intense mountain activities.
Engineered with wind-resistant yet highly breathable Pertex® Quantum Air featuring a fluorocarbon-free DWR, this lightweight softshell will protect you against stubborn wind during your fast-moving and high-energy mountain pursuits. It uses our Vapour-Rise™ technology and body-mapped fabric to effectively regulate your temperature, with lighter, quick-wicking mesh in high heat areas such as the underarms and back, keeping you comfortable, dry, and warm where you need it.
The protective details have been designed with tricky ascents in mind, such as the helmet-compatible hood with a fully elasticated face opening to seal out wind chill, and a belay-friendly two-way front zip with a soft, fleece-lined chin guard. Elasticated bindings at the cuffs and the lightweight rear hem adjustment help keep in the heat when you’re tackling an exposed rock face, while the oversized chest pockets provide ample storage as well as venting when you’re working hard.
How to measure.
Chest: Measure the full circumference of your chest just below your armpits.
Waist: Find the top of your hip and measure the full circumference around your body.
Arm length: Measure horizontally from the centre of your back, across the shoulder, over a naturally bent elbow and down to the wrist fold.
While all our garments are sized to these measurements, you will find that the cut on jackets designed for use in more extreme environments will be slightly more generous in the expectation that these designs will be used with additional/thicker midlayers. If you plan on using a jacket like this with fewer layers beneath it, please keep this in mind when selecting your size.
All garments are designed and fitted to suit their intended end use. See below for a general description of our fit categories:
Regular: Neither slim nor loose. Regular fit items are the perfect balance of form fit and ease of movement.
Slim: A streamlined silhouette. Cut trim following the contours of the body. Expertly placed articulation of seams and the use of stretch fabric ensure maximum freedom of movement in these close-fitting items.
Relaxed: Our more generous fit. Cut loosely through the body allowing for ease of movement and additional layering.
Expedition: Designed specifically to accommodate the layering system and equipment required for high altitude and polar expeditions.
