The Protection series combines our hyperlight weatherproof fabrics and construction with Primaloft® synthetic insulation for the ultimate protection and warmth in wet conditions.
The Vest is ideal for donning over a shell when the temps drop or your momentum and body heat start to wane. Or wear it under a shell for alpine and ice climbing to keep the core warm and blood flowing without restricting mobility. HiTex15 is a special hyperlight Ripstop nylon that weighs less per square meter than our proprietary Araneum with a DWR treatment to make it waterproof, durable, yet still packable. Primaloft® work in unison with the fabric to keep dry even in wet conditions.
