What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"This is my go-to alpine shell when I want the best protection without the bulk. It's incredibly light for a GORE-TEX Pro jacket, and the breathability is top notch. I love the helmet-compatible hood and the high hand pockets that work perfectly with my harness. It's a piece I trust completely when the weather turns ugly on a climb."When the route demands both speed and protection, the Trollveggen GORE-TEX Pro Light Jacket is our trusted shell. Built from GORE-TEX Pro ePE, it delivers maximum waterproofness, windproofness, and breathability in a lighter, more packable form. Reinforced shoulders and elbows add durability in high-wear zones, so we can carry a heavy pack or rack without worry. The alpine-focused design keeps us moving efficiently. A helmet-compatible storm hood offers full coverage without blocking vision, while articulated elbows and a Y-cut pattern give us complete freedom of movement. Two-way underarm vents regulate temperature on steep ascents, and strategically placed napoleon pockets stay accessible even with a harness or pack on. Whether it's a summer ridge scramble or an ice-choked winter ascent, this jacket is a reliable shield against the elements.
