Description
A minimalist shell that packs down small to fit in a travel bag or an alpine pack. In coastal climates or fast-changing mountain weather, it offers protection from storms and persistent rain. The design features deep pockets where you can stash accessories, and a hood that adjusts for coverage, mobility and a clear view of the way ahead. MEC chose Pertex Shield + for the Alpine Ally, as it presents both reliable outdoor performance and accessible value. With a versatile cut, you can use this jacket for climbing, hiking and skiing, or any outing when mixed weather is in the forecast.
- 3-layer Pertex Shield + is treated to shed water and taped through the seams for full waterproof protection
- Clean, stitch-free construction is light and offers unrestricted movement
- Helmet compatible hood has 3-way adjustments (left, right and front to back)
- Chin guard prevents chafing
- Underarm zips provide venting options
- Front zipper is backed with a storm flap
- Pocket zippers are very water resistant, but not waterproof, so we don't recommend them for electronics or other valuables
- Hook-and-loop cuff tabs
- Articulated elbows for easy movement and for reaching high
- Left and right toggles adjust the hem
