The clouds and chilly air roll in midway through your two-hour approach. Good thing you have the Mountain Hardwear Men's Parbat Jacket in your climbing pack. A Polartec Wind Pro body helps block cold breezes, and the Parbat Jacket's TufStretch panels add flexibility and durability while you belay. Mountain Hardwear gave this fleece jacket a DWR finish so dewy mornings and wet rock won't ruin your day. Zip hand pockets, and a sleeve, chest, and interior pocket hold energy gel for fuel and tissues for spring allergies.

Bottom Line: Bring this durable, wind-resistant fleece layer up the mountain.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Can someone explain what the "DWR finish" is? And

Can someone explain what the "DWR finish" is? And what is "hardface pebble polyester"? Is the jacket soft? Does it feel like a fleece, or more like a shell?

A DWR finish is a liquid concoction that is applied to the outer fabric of shells, fleece, softshells, carpets, anything that is designed to repel water or liquids. Every fabric manufacturer has their own proprietary blend and you can buy it over the counter from companies like Nik Wax or McNett to apply to garments where it has worn off due to use. It is what causes water to 'bead-up' on the outside of any waterproof or weather resistant outerwear piece and is an integral part of any waterproof/breathable shell fabric. It is NOT what makes a jacket waterproof and breathable. That is the laminate and that is another story!Hard-faced Fleece is fleece that has been 'hardened' on one side of the fabric during production to make it feel more softshell-like while still maintaining its fleecy-ness on the inside. So, the answer to your question is both... it feels like fleece on the inside and like a softshell on the outside! Clear as mud?
