What is the Mission Jacket?
The Mission is a protective, highly breathable softshell jacket that can be used for virtually any cold-weather outdoor activity. Mountaineering, ski-touring, trekking, dog-walking — you name it and it'll work.
What is it made of?
The Mountain Equipment Mission Jacket is made from Exolite 250, a double-weave softshell fabric. The active cut, articulated sleeves and the stretchiness of the Exolite means the jacket moves with you without feeling restrictive. As it's made out of a softshell fabric, it's 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. On top of its incredible stretch, it's also wind-resistant, water-resistant (not waterproof!) and durable enough for even the most abusive climber.
What are its features?
You've got a helmet-compatible hood for use in mountainous/craggy environments, two hand pockets with a breathable mesh lining (these can double up as vents), a napoleon chest pocket for small bits and pieces, underarm pit zips to dump unwanted heat, adjustable cuffs and a dual tether hem drawcords. All in all, a pretty comprehensive feature list!
