Unruffled by cruel conditions, the Mammut Taiss HS Hooded Jacket is our armor of choice when heading into the moody and fickle weather of the alpine. The ultralight stretch construction bends and twists with us, while the two-way front zip and high-set pockets keep out of the way of our harness. Cutting winds and driving spindrift glance off the weatherproof material, keeping our microclimate unmarred underneath, and the adjustable hood, cuffs, and hem stop snow and gusts from breaching our defense.
