Jackets to Keep You Toasty

These jackets from Mountain Hardware not only have great looks but promise to keep you toasty warm on your next epic adventure.

Staying warm is fundamental to outdoor adventure – if you’re cold, you’re probably not enjoying yourself. However, that doesn’t mean you need to drape yourself in flouro technical material like a North Sea oil rig worker. Even Antarctica calls for a little style.

The Super Chockstone Hooded Jacket is a redesigned 2.5-layer shell with
four-way stretch, making it ideal for climbers. The jacket’s low-profile hood is designed to be worn under a helmet, while re-engineered set-in sleeves and underarm gussets make reaching that next hold easier.

Built with all the features of a hardshell, but with the liberation found in a
softshell, the Chockstone Hooded Jacket features an abrasion-resistant, air-permeable double-weave as well as harness and pack-compatible
pockets.

Alternatively, the Dragon Hooded Jacket is an alpine softshell workhorse built to be a lightweight layer with exceptional stretch. The jacket’s AirShield membrane face fabric makes the jacket wind and weatherproof and an ideal three-layer protection system for when things get chilly.

Features of the Dragon Hooded Jacket include strategically-mapped Chockstone fabric in areas of high abrasion, stretch or breathability; a redesigned alpine brim hood with greater weather and sun protection; and ProShell Pocket Lining to keep your digits cosy.
