What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"This jacket strikes the balance between bomber waterproofing and packability. The pit zips are huge for long skin tracks, and the removable powder skirt makes it versatile for everything from backcountry tours to mountaineering."Whether we're skinning into the alpine or dropping into deep powder, the Mammut Haldigrat HS Hooded Jacket is built to handle big missions in the mountains. Its DryTechnology Pro 3-layer membrane keeps us dry in everything from pounding snow to sideways sleet, while staying breathable enough for grueling ascents. Long underarm vents let us dump heat on steep climbs, and the helmet-compatible hood with a reinforced peak shields us when the storm moves in. The Haldigrat is loaded with alpine-ready details like glove-friendly adjustments, integrated hand gaiters, and a removable powder skirt that adapts from resort laps to technical mountaineering. Lightweight yet durable, this jacket packs small but punches well above its weight when conditions demand full protection.
