Brisk days in the Tetons, mixed climbing burns at Ouray and uphill skinning in a snowstorm: The Piton Hybrid doubles as a durable midlayer or a light shell. Its trim design features a durable Polartec® Wind Pro® Hardface® fabric in key areas (elbows and front, then wrapping over the shoulders and down to mid-back) to shed snow and fend off wind. The Hardface technology works with a Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish for increased water repellency and abrasion-resistance. The remaining areas use super breathable, stretchy and wicking Polartec Power Dry® fabric, creating a flexible body-mapped design that lets you wear the jacket as a moderate-conditions outer layer until it’s time to don a full-on shell. The chest pocket and two zippered handwarmers are pack- and harness-compatible. Some comfort points: The collar, chin guard, cuffs and hem are lined with soft microfleece, while the shoulders are seamless for pack-wearing comfort.
