Getting after it in high alpine environments calls for gear that can handle our high exertion levels and the high elevation weather—gear like the Ortovox Westalpen 3L Light Jacket. This lightweight hardshell features outstanding waterproofing and breathability to manage the moisture outside and inside our jacket and a high-reach performance fit that supports a full range of motion when we're skiing or climbing. It also features dialed in design features for serious mountain pursuits, including elevated and extra large pockets to accommodate packs and harnesses, mesh lining in those pockets for added ventilation, merino-blend panels to manage our moisture levels, and a helmet-compatible hood that fits over our ski, snowboard, and climbing helmets to protect us as we play in the alpine wonderland.
