What is the Phase XPD Jacket?
The Phase XPD is a burly shell jacket for big expeditions, alpine climbing and winter mountaineering. It has a technical feature set to equip you with everything you'll need for multi-day excursions in changeable, challenging conditions. It has a durable construction and provides maximum waterproof protection, breathability and comfort.
What is it made of?
The Phase XPD Jacket uses a combination of 40D and 80D Gore-Tex® Pro Most Breathable technology, mapped out especially to enhance durability and prolong the jacket's lifespan to ensure it'll serve you for years to come.
The main body features a lighter 40D, whereas the highest wear points of the jacket, including the shoulders, hips and elbows, are reinforced with tough 80D.
Gore-Tex® Pro Most Breathable technology offers extreme breathability to minimise moisture build up during intense mountain sessions where you're working up a sweat. Integrating this technology creates a waterproof, windproof and breathable shell without compromising ruggedness or overall performance so that you can have the best of both worlds.
What are its features?
The overall construction of the Phase XPD uses full seam taping to enhance its waterproof capabilities so that you don't have to worry about what the weather throws at you.
The hood is fully adjustable, helmet compatible, and can be rolled away when not in use, ideal for exposed mountain adventures when you and your gear need to work as one to reach the summit. It also has a three point 'quick release' adjustment, allowing you to adapt the fit around your helmet quickly to minimise wasted time and keep your focus on the challenge ahead. A stiffened peak at the top of the hood helps to keep wet weather away from the face by providing a little extra coverage above the forehead.
Articulated sleeves offer better freedom of movement for the arms and shoulders, so you can reach higher on technical manoeuvres without fabric riding up and skin being exposed to the cold.
At the front is a two-way YKK Aquaguard® Vislon zip with an internal storm flap to help keep the weather out. The zip can be undone from the bottom up, allowing you to access a climbing harness underneath or get some extra ventilation around your mid-section. Speaking of ventilation, two two-way YKK Aquaguard® pit zips with chunky zippers can be opened if you're looking to dump extra heat. You can easily reach them without taking the whole jacket off too!
For storage, two hand pockets and an external chest pocket offer a safe place to stow away snacks and energy gels. These pockets are also fastened with YKK Aquaguard® Vislon zips to ensure complete waterproof protection along each opening. For more valuable items like a mobile phone or GPS device, there's a mesh drop pocket on the inside of the jacket to give you peace of mind that you won't lose your valuables in the mountains.
The cuffs of the sleeves are shaped and have hook and loop adjustment tabs to adapt the fit around chunky gloves, mitts or bare wrists. Finally, at the bottom of the jacket, a drawcord adjuster allows you to cinch in the hem, to optimise waterproof protection and prevent any gusts from blowing up into the jacket.
