An insulated soft shell that minimizes clothing changes so you can maximize the vertical. The mechanics are simple: A stretch-woven nylon shell excels at windproof, extremely water-resistant protection, yet still remains lightweight, highly breathable and soft. Inside is a plush layer of R1 8 fabric to add warmth and move moisture away from the body so you stay dry while slogging uphill. The sleeves are mesh-lined to increase airflow and glide unnoticed over insulating layers. A two-way adjustable hood is helmet-friendly and quickly zips on and off during finicky weather. Face-shot days are no match for the adjustable storm skirt, drawcord hem and elasticized sleeve cuffs that seal with anatomically curved hook-and-Ioop closures. Pockets: one interior mesh, two zippered handwarmers, one on the left sleeve (think goggle wipes) and a stealth external Napoleon pocket. The women's version has a fit that suits the female form. Imported.
