MEC Hydrofoil Stretch Jacket - Women's

Lightweight and packable, this fully seam-taped jacket is perfect for activity in wet climates or where you expect foul weather. The Hydrofoil Stretch Jacket's waterproof Pertex Shield construction is ridiculously breathable. 40-denier nylon promises durability and 4-way stretch that’s soft and supple, never crunchy. A helmet-compatible hood and pockets that sit above a hipbelt or harness make it ideal for alpine missions and backcountry trips. Best of all, we’ve kept it amazingly affordable so you can budget for longer climbing trips and extra days on the hill.
