Deluge cycles sweep the Coast Range, afternoon storms strike the Rockies and low-pressure pounds Patagonia, but the enchantment of the high alpine keeps climbers coming back. The smart ones go with full-on protection that lets you stay flexible. Our Stretch Ascent combines a stretch-woven polyester (100% recycled) and a waterproof/breathable H2No® barrier into a pliable 2.5-layer fabric package that enables you to reveal your most limber moves in the worst conditions. The roll-down, helmet-compatible hood adjusts in two ways with an easy-to-use single-pull system. The watertight, center-front ririAQUAzip® is easy to open and close, the water-resistant external pocket zippers have zipper garages and the third pocket is an internal drop-in. Watertight pit zips allow for easy venting. Cuffs secure with self-fabric tabs, and the hem's drawcord routes through the pockets. The hood's structured visor improves visibility in poor conditions, so you can keep forging ahead. Recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.
