On stop-start mountain days where you’re ascending, pausing, and then on the move again, you need a do-it-all system which can respond to your output and changing conditions. Perfect for exploring the mountains by foot, skis, or sharps in the depths of winter, this Vapour-Rise™ softshell is built with wind-resistant Pertex® Quantum Air to protect against bitter winds, and finished with a fluorocarbon-free DWR. The feathery VR Warm lining is warm and comfortable yet highly breathable and will efficiently move moisture through the system when you’re tackling a high-energy ascent, making this a versatile jacket which can be worn as an outer or combined with layers on colder days.

The jacket is geared up for gaining altitude with a double-ended zip for easy belaying, and a helmet-compatible hood with a stiffened peak to shield you from the elements. Zipped hand pockets have been strategically positioned to be accessible when wearing a harness or a pack, while a further handy chest pocket is perfect for stashing a map or guide. The jacket’s fit can be adjusted using hook and loop at the cuffs and a single-handed adjustment at the hem, allowing you to seal in the warmth when the temperature plummets.
