Mammut Taiss IN Hooded Jacket - Women's Mammut Red, L

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""This is the layer I trust when I’m heading into real alpine cold. The 850-fill down warms up fast, but the synthetic mapping is what makes it durable and reliable for hard use. It packs down tiny, too, which means I always have space for it in my kit.""Harsh alpine wind, exposed ridgelines, and predawn starts call for a layer that’s warm without holding us back. The Taiss IN Hooded Jacket rises to that challenge with an ultralight Pertex® Quantum® Pro shell and a hydrophobic 850-fill down that keeps insulating even when the conditions get stormy. Synthetic panels at the shoulders, arms, and hood reinforce high-wear zones, giving the jacket toughness where our pack and movement generate the most friction. As the day unfolds, the pre-shaped sleeves, smooth two-way zipper, and adjustable hem help us move freely through steep ascents and tight transitions. When the sun climbs or the weather clears, the jacket compresses into its own pocket, disappearing into our pack until the next big objective. For ski tours, mountaineering routes, and fast-paced alpine missions, this ultralight insulator provides warmth we can trust with weight we barely notice."
