Aequilibrium Lite GTX Jacket Men's

The articulated hood fits perfectly over my climbing helmet, which was a pleasant surprise. The jacket packs down small enough to stash in my harness pack on technical routes.

Wore it on a windy ridge at 3,000m with the helmet-compatible hood cinched tight — zero flapping and no need to stop and re-adjust. The articulated shoulders let me swing ice axes without the jacket riding up. Packs away so small I forgot it was in my pack until I actually needed it.

I was worried a lightweight jacket wouldn’t hold up on a windy ridge, but the articulated hood fit perfectly over my climbing helmet without any flapping. It packs down so small that I barely notice it in my pack.
