A great minimalist lightweight and packable storm shell intended for alpine climbing, mountaineering or hiking. Uses Pertex Shield + 3 layer waterproof breathable technology that isn't as premium as Gore Tex so this jacket will appeal to those looking for something at a more reasonable price point.

From the buyer: For F16 we will have two 3L waterproof breathable Alpine Climbing jackets in the line, the Synergy and Alpine Ally. The Synergy is a Gore Pro jacket and represents the pinnacle jacket in the line for the Outdoor Addict. The Alpine Ally fills the role of the non-Gore branded 3L WB jacket that, while a great price, is fully featured and is a good all-round WB for any backcountry user. The refresh of this jacket is intended to give a product refresh and make sure the jacket fills the needs of the backcountry generalist who is a core user and wants good value in a WB jacket. A waterproof breathable jacket for the Social Adventurer or Wilderness Explorer wanting a fully functional backcountry WB at a cheaper price.
