Technical Layers!

The shell, insulation, and wicking layers work together as an effective and versatile layering system to protect the body from wind, cold and water.

Mountain Light Parka XCR 

Our most popular jacket, the Mountain Light Jacket is one of the most versatile waterproof shells ever made. Made of Gore-Tex 2-ply fabric, this multipurpose, lightweight mountaineering jacket is favored by leading climbers for its weather protection, breathability (body vapor escapes) and compressibility.
Waterproof, breathable and tear-resistant Gore-Tex 2-Ply fabric (lightweight outer fabric laminated to Gore-Tex, lined with high-wicking Vaporator/CoolMax fabrics). Core-zips with Velcro closures for ventilation. Super-durable Supplex Taslan reinforces abrasion areas. Ergonomic swivel hood moves with your head, adjusts with single-hand drawcord. "Arms-up" construction provides freedom of movement. Two exterior zippered pockets, plus interior chest pocket for secure storage. Single-hand-adjustable elastic drawcord at waist and hem. Inside zipper compatible with Pumori, Nuptse, Denali, and other insulation layers (accepts any of our zip-in midlayers). CoolMax mesh lining expedites moisture transfer. Shown with Pumori Jacket and Micronamics Zip T Neck.

"Rain, what rain?’ That’s what my notes read after wearing the two-layer Gore-Tex jacket through seven days of sleet and intermittent showers… The Mountain Light also received a thumbs-up for long-term survival. Outfitted with rugged hardware and lots of sensibly placed chest pocket storm flaps caught my eye-it inspired descriptions like ‘tough,’ ‘sturdy,’ and ‘solidly built.’" – Backpacker Magazine, February 1998
