Mammut Taiss Pro HS Hooded Jacket - Women's Mammut Red/Vin, L

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""This hardshell feels bombproof. The stretch nylon is tougher than most jackets in this weight class, and the venting actually moves air when I’m climbing or skinning. The pocket layout is dialed for harness use, which makes it a go-to for bigger objectives.""Steep couloirs, frozen pitches, and full-weather days demand a shell that moves with us and stands firm against the elements. The Taiss Pro HS Hooded Jacket steps into that role with rugged stretch nylon, a breathable DRY Expedition membrane, and a streamlined cut that supports dynamic movement in high-exposure terrain. Whether we’re climbing vertical ice or navigating long alpine traverses, the jacket keeps wind, snow, and spindrift at bay without limiting mobility. Its mountain-focused features make long days more efficient: generous chest pockets that stay accessible above a harness, a helmet-compatible hood that adjusts easily with gloved hands, and two-way underarm vents that release heat on hard pushes. A removable snow skirt, sleeve pocket, and internal storage round out a design meant for pros and enthusiasts who expect their gear to withstand serious conditions. From icy starts to exposed summits, this jacket stays ready for whatever the route holds."
