Greenland's Tasermiut Fjord and the Patagonia's Chaltén massif are at opposite ends of their hemispheres, but both have mind-bending climbing - and thoroughly drenching storms. Our Super Pluma™ Jacket is the alpine climbing jacket of choice for balancing light-and-fast with enhanced durability and waterproof/windproof and breathable protection. The 3-layer GORE-TEX® Pro fabric has a light yet durable nylon face fabric with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish. Its high-performance GORE-TEX membrane is bonded between the tough outer material and a minimalist micro-grid interior for ultimate breathability. The pressed-pleat torso pockets are streamlined so you can see your feet, while trim, watertight zippers make for clean and easy pit-zips and pocket openings. Underarm gussets keep the jacket down when you raise your arms, and sleek Touch Point System™ embedded cord locks in the hood and hem allow quick adjustments without opening the jacket. Other details include a helmet-compatible, 2-way-adjustable hood with a laminated visor, low-profile cuff closures with pleated gussets and a small internal zippered chest pocket.
