Designed for Alpine adventurers, the Mountain Hardwear Men's Compressor Jacket has a superior warmth-to-weight ratio and is, as its name implies, highly compressible. Made from lightweight 20D nylon ripstop fabric, this water-resistant mountain jacket uses Thermic Micro synthetic insulation to keep you toasty warm. The underarm side panels are thinner to reduce bulk and aid ventilation where you need it. This coat is perfect as a warm layer on an ultralight backpacking trip in the Kings Canyon backcountry or as a mid layer under a waterproof winter jacket on a telemark ski tour of the Eastern Sierras. Elastic cuffs and drawcords at the neck and waist help seal in body heat and the Micro-Chamois-lined chin guard gives you something soft to burrow down into when the temperatures drop. They lined the 2 front zippered pockets with fleece because even ultralighters like a warm, fuzzy place to tuck their cold hands. Offered in classic colors that will get an appreciative nod from gear heads and girlfriends everywhere, the Mountain Hardwear Compressor Jacket for men is a lightweight favorite for unrestricted versatility at high elevations.
