For technical performance in climbing or skiing, the Element Hoody is able to hold its own as a standalone protective outer-layer or serve as a thermoregulating mid-layer that provides ultimate warmth. Featuring Green Theme Technologys Empel Breathable Water Protection, the Element is water-resistant while the woven face and brushed back provides warmth for cold weather pursuits. The elastic hood opening is sized to go under a climbing helmet. Two harness-compatible hand pockets store topos and bars.
