For constant and extended exposure to the worst possible conditions, our Super Alpine Jacket provides trusted protection in a light, nimble package rich with features critical to the habitual mountain explorer.
Features
Built with two lightweight, fine-deniered GORE-TEX Pro fabrics for uncompromised, durable waterproofness and a wide range of breathability

Optimal Visibility Hood with laminated visor provides exceptional coverage and visibility, and allows total range of unrestricted motion
Touch Point System with embedded cord locks in hood and hem for quick-and-easy adjustment
Gusseted underarm panels reduce lift when reaching overhead and have minimal pit zips for venting
Two high single-pleat pockets with watertight, coated slim zips increase capacity without added seams; interior zip pocket
Pleated Gasket Dry Cuffs with tapered tab design provide a secure low-profile wrist seal
In the big mountains, bombproof weather protection can help you keep it together while everything else is falling apart. The Super Alpine Jacket protects against the worst possible conditions with the best available waterproof/breathable and windproof fabrics. It features a light yet durable 3-layer nylon new generation GORE-TEX Pro fabric with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish, key-area reinforcements and a technical fit with a slim torso. The two harness-compatible handwarmer pockets have a single-pleat design that lets you see your feet, but also allows the pockets to expand without bulky seams. Trim, watertight zippers for the pockets and pit zips are laminated in place to reduce weight and bulk; a small internal zippered chest pocket stows small valuables. The underarm gussets keep the jacket in place when you lift your arms, and the streamlined Gasket Dry Cuffs seal out the elements at the wrists. Our adjustable, helmet-compatible Optimal Visibility Hood has a laminated visor, and the sleek Touch Point System embedded cord locks (in the hood and hem) allow for easy adjustment without opening the jacket.
