When conditions turn brutal, this is the shell you want. Built to endure relentlessly severe conditions and sustained exposure in the world's harshest alpine terrain, this 3-layer softshell is constructed with eVent® Blue Label technology for uncompromising waterproof-breathable performance. Every seam is sealed, every detail engineered for durability—confidence-inspiring protection that keeps you climbing, even when the mountain is at its worst.

Built to Outlast the Terrain That Destroys Ordinary Gear. Sharp rock, crusted ice, dense brush—the terrain that defines serious alpine objectives is the same terrain that destroys ordinary shells. This one is built with a high-tenacity face fabric rated to withstand tens of thousands of abrasion cycles, holding up through committing ascents and repeated exposure without compromising the weight or mobility you need to keep moving.

Waterproof-Breathable Performance, Without Compromise. Sustained exposure at altitude means driving rain one hour and biting wind the next—conditions that overwhelm gear built for anything less. eVent®'s direct-venting membrane expels moisture before it condenses, backed by fully taped seams and a high-grade water-repellent finish that hold the line through hours, not minutes, of relentless weather.

Full Protection When There's No Room for Error. On committing terrain, gear that shifts, leaks, or fails is more than an inconvenience—it's a liability. The 3D-adjustable, helmet-compatible hood stays locked through sustained gusts and rotates with your head without ever blocking your line of sight. A YKK® two-way waterproof zipper keeps the front sealed and easy to operate even with gloves on, while two waterproof zip pockets with drain holes keep essentials secure and dry no matter how long you're out.
