Fast transitions are key to getting routes done. Move from belay to sharp end and top out onto the a wind-blasted ridgeline without having to stop and adjust your layers. This full-stretch soft shell is breathable enough to wear while climbing or on the approach hike, and when the weather closes in, pull up the hood, tighten the drawcords, and wait out the squall. Variable Conditions Cuffs work perfectly with gloves for a snug, seamless fit, and the adjustable hood fits under a helmet to retain warmth without blocking your peripheral.

- Helmet compatible hood has a laminated brim and single-draw adjustment to protect you from the elements without narrowing your field of vision
- Variable Conditions Cuffs fit cleanly over gloves or sleeves can be pushed back without tightening on your forearms
- Microfleece on the zipper garage and at the base of the neck wicks sweat and decreases chaffing
- 2 zippered handwarmer pockets are placed high and away from harnesses and hipbelts
- No-bunch hem can be tightened from the pockets to create a tight, draft-free fit
