When you're moving light and fast in the mountains, the sweat storm inside your shell can be worse than the storm outside. Thus, our full-featured, EncapSil-treated Essenshell, which provides superior performance in high-and-dry alpine conditions. See p. 19 for EncapSil info. The main fabric and strategically placed stretch panels (both uncoated) offer a higher level of breathability for aerobic ascents. And the simple-yet-ingenious textured lining constantly moves moisture away from your layers. Details: Hideaway Optipull hood snugs around the face and neck with the one-handed tug of a drawcord; reinforced shoulder yoke resists wear; chest flash pocket; zippered handwarmer pockets; storm-flapped main zipper, and drawcorded hem. Made in USA and imported. Available March 1.
