La Sportiva Aequilibrium Speed Jacket - Men's Onyx/Chalk, S

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I use this when I know I'll be moving fast and sweating but still need abrasion resistance. The forearm powermesh panels are a game changer for mobility, especially when scrambling or using poles."We pull on the Aequilibrium Speed Jacket when the day calls for quick elevation gains, technical approaches, and the kind of steady movement that demands both protection and breathability. Its lightweight softshell construction lets us move freely as we navigate stone steps and angled ridgelines, while strategically placed powermesh inserts on the forearms keep airflow steady when the pace rises. Articulated sleeves follow every reach and plant, helping us maintain rhythm without feeling restricted. On colder starts or windy traverses, the abrasion-resistant paneling shields us from rough rock and brush. Harness- and backpack-compatible pockets keep essentials accessible without interfering with gear, while the PFC-free DWR sheds unexpected moisture on exposed sections. With the Aequilibrium Speed Jacket, we stay focused on the terrain ahead instead of the layers on our back.
