The Mountain Equipment Mission Jacket is made from Exolite 275 double weave Soft Shell fabric, making it warm and stretchy. The Active Fit cut, articulated sleeves and the stretchiness of the Exolite means the jacket moves with you without feeling restrictive. As it is made out of a Soft Shell fabric it is super breathable, making it an ideal jacket for active winter sports such as ski-touring and mountaineering; although it would look pretty good in the pub beer garden too.
The Mountain HC Hood isn’t made for extended helmet use but it does accommodate a helmet at a squeeze if you need it to, adding to this jackets ovberall versatility. Then for added ventilation M.E. have popped in some pit-zips for when you get a bit too warm and need to cool off quickly.
The over-locked and topstitched construction throughout makes all the seams extremely secure and to seal you up nicely M.E. have popped on some adjustable cuffs and dual tether hem drawcords.
