The ultimate outerwear for backcountry missions in foul weather. Its 2-layer GORE-TEX XCR fabric is 25% more breathable than classic Gore-Tex fabrics. On uphill slogs you can free your arms from the sleeves through long pit zips. When the snow blows, the unlined, lightweight, highly packable 2.5-layer Gore-Tex hood snugs over a helmet and the powder skirt battens down with gripper elastic. An anatomically shaped design ensures function and fit, without excess fabric. Details include water-resistant zippered handwarmer pockets you can access while wearing a pack; an interior zippered mesh pocket; drawcorded hem, and a fleece-lined chin flap. Reinforcements in high-abrasion areas help you withstand pain en route to powder. Imported.
