Mountain Hardwear Wind Veil Hooded Jacket - Women's Purple Sage/Harbor Violet/Approaching, M

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I’ve been impressed by how much protection this ultralight layer provides for the weight. The wind resistance is excellent without feeling stuffy, and the sternum snap is clutch when you want to open the jacket up but keep it secure in gusts. The packability is next level—being able to stash it into its own pocket makes it one of my favorite pieces to throw in a pack.""We count on the Wind Veil Hooded Jacket when breezy ridgelines or fast-moving weather demand a layer that can keep pace. Mountain Hardwear’s 20D Micro Rip nylon provides reliable wind protection in a featherweight package, giving us instant comfort when the breeze picks up or cloud cover rolls in. Whether we’re chasing shoulder-season trails or clipping into a morning ridge hike, this jacket stays comfortable and easy to wear. Designed for movement and long days outdoors, the Wind Veil includes thoughtful details like a three-piece hood with an elastic binding and laminated brim for stability in crosswinds. The sternum snap keeps the jacket secure even when worn partially unzipped, while the mesh-backed chest pocket doubles as a stow pocket for compact packing. Two hand pockets and elastic cuffs round out a design that’s ready for quick changes in terrain and temperature."
