SUMMARY:

WINNER of the OutDoor Industry Award 2009

With a GORE® WINDSTOPPER® Softshell outer, the Shield Jacket is designed to keep you protected almost everything a winter’s day can launch at you: arctic gales, sleet, snow and squally showers. 

Backed up with a typically functional Mountain Equipment design philosophy and innovative hybrid construction that includes a roomy helmet compatible grown-on hood and four key performance fabrics. It’ll keep you warm on those sluggish pre-dawn winter approaches, shield you from arctic gusts and deflect the worse of spindrift avalanches raining down from above. In short if your typical winter’s day in the mountains often feels more like a battle than walk in the park you should considering adding this to your gear arsenal.
