On blustery approaches, chilly rock routes and full-on alpine missions, the Piton Hybrid Vest takes the edge off of cold conditions. The construction relies on durable Polartec® Wind Pro® Hardface® fabric on the front, 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. On the sides and back the vest utilizes super breathable, stretchy and wicking Polartec Power Dry® fabric, creating a body-mapped design for use 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 to rest easy under your pack.
