La Sportiva Pocketshell Jacket - Men's Mountain Red, XL

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I like this jacket for windy, mixed-weather days when I don’t want to carry something bulky. The hood design is super functional, and the ventilation under the arms keeps it from feeling stuffy when I’m moving fast.""We throw on the Pocketshell Jacket when shifting weather calls for dependable protection without the weight of a full storm shell. Built from recycled materials and finished with a PFC-free water-repellent coating, it shields us from surprise showers and gusty ridgelines while staying light enough to stash until we need it. The articulated hood—with its integrated visor—moves with us as we turn into the wind or pick up the pace, keeping our field of vision clear in wet or unsettled conditions. As we warm up on climbs or quick transitions, underarm ventilation with a mesh insert releases heat without exposing us to the elements. A full-length zipper with a storm flap and garage seals out moisture, while reflective details help with visibility during dim morning starts or dusk descents. Reliable, breathable, and built with responsible materials, the Pocketshell Jacket is an easy layer to keep close when the forecast can’t make up its mind."
