The purpose is mapped within its name; the Men’s Super Alpine Jacket from Patagonia is an ascent and descent driven alpine specialist that offers its lightweight, waterproof and breathable 3-layer nylon Gore-Tex Pro Shell to serve and protect against the harsh conditions synonymous with big mountain excursions. It’s packed with features such as: Slim Zips to reduce bulk, pressed pleat pockets for harness and pack compatibility, and gusseted underarm panels that maximize dexterity without raising the body of the jacket. Outfitted with a helmet-compatible, Optimal Visibility Hood and fortified with watertight zippers at the pockets and pit zips, this Super Alpine Jacket provides peak performance for the pursuing alpinist; whether it’s a stroll up Hogsback on Mt. Hood or a more technical approach elsewhere.
