When we're moving through treacherous terrain in the mountains, we need a jacket that protects us from the weather without encumbering us. Enter the Mountain Equipment Men's Squall Hooded Jacket. This lightweight shell features a stretchy softshell fabric that resists wind and rain while offering the flexibility needed to handle difficult climbs and challenging ascents. The helmet-compatible hood, elasticated cuffs, and adjustable hem seal out chilly gusts, and a zippered chest pocket allows us to reach small items even when we're wearing a harness.
