A closer look
Tailored to be close-fitting yet still able to accommodate layers, the Alpine fit focuses its shaping between the waist and shoulders to help eradicate ‘bagging’ when lent over, but effectively distribute the fabric between the front chest, rear shoulder and bicep to provide comfort and wide range of movement.

Storm construction throughout the garment all work together to keep you protected in extreme environments. Location of each and every seam is thought out in advance to remove them from key points of wear and abrasion, where this is not possible an additional 22mm, compared to 13mm, tape reinforcement is used.

The fully adjustable Mountain HC hood features Cohesive cord-locks and easily accommodates a helmet, so you don’t have to compromise on protection. Laminated and bonded 2-way YKK water-resistant underarm pit zips allow you to cool down when working hard, even when it is raining.

The Stratum Storage System allows the front Napoleon pocket to be 25% larger to accommodate maps, gloves, or accessories. Additional, two large hand pockets with YKK AquaGuard zips are placed for use with a harness and a laminated, laser cut inner zipped pocket keeps your belongings safe.

Two-way YKK moulded AquaGuard front zip enables you to climb and belay, and the fully adjustable, laminated cuffs and dual tether hem drawcords keep out the weather while providing you with the perfect fit.
