Millet

LD Touring Neo Jacket - Women's

Ladies are crushing it harder than ever, and outerwear companies are having to step it up to deliver the performance that hard-charging girls require. Millet's doing its best to keep up, and with items like the LD Women's Touring Neo Jacket, it's not hard to see why it's been making some of Euro skiers' and mountaineers' favorite gear for nigh on 100 years. The Neo is Millet's top-shelf ski-touring jacket, made of polyester fabric with a Polartec NeoShell membrane, which is far and away the most breathable membrane on the market, making it a perfect choice for serious aerobic activities like skinning, bootpacking, and ski mountaineering.

Breathability doesn't come at the expense of waterproofing, either, as the Neo is rated 10K waterproof (anything more doesn't keep you drier and only decreases air exchange) and has fully-taped and heat-sealed seams. The underarm vents and pocket zips are also water-resistant. The Neo's built tough to withstand the abuse that's part and parcel of alpinism, and has an ergonomic design and Alpine fit that give you unrestricted movement without being bulky or baggy, which helps keeps the jacket's weight down to a measly 18oz. Would you also like windproofing and a storm-ready hood? OK then.
