What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"This hoodie has become my go-to midlayer for alpine starts and shoulder season adventures. It's incredibly light and breathable, but still cuts through wind and holds heat. The stretch lets me move freely without feeling restricted and fits great under a shell."When we need just the right amount of insulation for active pursuits, the Vesper Insulated Hooded Jacket steps in as the perfect solution. It's the lightest, most versatile insulator in the OR lineup, built for speed, breathability, and full-range mobility.

Soft Low-Pro(TM) bindings, a helmet-compatible hood, and pack-friendly pockets round out this mountain-ready essential.
