Windproof and lightweight – essential terms for any layering system.

Be sure to pack Mountain Hardwear’s WINDSTOPPER® Tech Vest along on your next outdoor adventure. It keeps your core warm without sacrificing mobility.

Lined with WINDSTOPPER® laminate which completely blocks the wind from entering through the seams of your fleece, the vest is also breathable, ensuring enough ventilation.

Weighing in at 11oz, it is specifically designed for alpine climbing and mountaineering. Other features include a chest pocket, reinforced collars, and lycra-bound arm holes for a snug fit.

Off the mountain: It’s stylish enough to fit over long sleeve shirts on cold summer nights, and mobile enough for your pre-surf scouting missions.

Add this to your layering collection.

Warmth and mobility. What more could you ask for?

Cost: $120 | Where to buy: Mountain Hardwear
