Patagonia Mens Super Alpine Jacket - New

Patagonia Mens Super Alpine Jacket - New - For constant and extended exposure to the worst possible conditions, we've sharpened our Super Alpine Jacket to provide the same trusted protection, in a lighter, nimbler package still rich with features critical to the habitual mountain user. Wind howls, spindrift blasts and cornices loom across ridges. Up or down Those who endure big mountains-whether ski mountaineering or alpine climbing-know that bomber protection is as crucial as decision-making. The newly refined Super Alpine Jacket protects against the worst possible weather with the best available waterproof/breathable and windproof fabrics. It features a lighter, yet still durable 3-layer nylon new generation GORE-TEXA(R) Pro fabric with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish and key-area reinforcements, and a redesigned technical fit with a slimmer torso and longer hem. The two harness-compatible handwarmer pockets have an improved single-pleat design that lets you see your feet but also allows the pockets to expand without bulky seams. Trim, watertight zippers for the pockets and pit zips are laminated in place to reduce weight and bulk; a small internal zippered chest pocket stows small valuables. The underarm gussets keep the jacket in place when you lift your arms, and the Gasket Dry Cuffs still seal out the elements at the wrists but are now far more streamlined. Our reengineered, adjustable and helmet-compatible Optimal Visibility Hood(TM) has a laminated visor and the sleek Touch Point System(TM) embedded cord locks (in the hood and hem) have been improved for easier adjustment without opening the jacket.
