Freshly brewed skies with their ominous clouds are no match
for the weather-beating combination of hard-shell and soft-shell fabrics found
in our Light Smoke Flash Jacket. The lightweight, supple soft-shell provides a
high degree of breathability for going the distance under a full head of steam,
and 2-way stretch to enhance athletic moves. Two-layer waterproof reinforcements
over the shoulders and the backs of arms maintain alpine durability along with
storm performance. Pit zips vent excess heat when you’ve reached the boiling
point on long boot paths, and the Welded Seam construction increases
stuffability and softness, reduces weight, and provides absolute wet-weather
protection. The textured mesh interior moves moisture away from the body and
glides snaglessly over layers. Other inside features include a stretch powder
skirt, a stealthy lift-ticket holder, a large mesh drop-in pocket for skins, and
a zippered security pocket. With articulated elbows, two zippered chest pockets
(one is for an audio device) and two torso pockets that also serve double-duty
as fast-forward vents.
