Westcomb Mirage Jacket - Men's
Protects and breathes....no, really.

I prefer the slightly simpler and lighter Westcomb Phantom Jacket for extended backcountry trips and serious alpine endeavors, but this is my choice for day-slogs, riding lifts, or yo-yo skinning in the nasty. The Mirage really excels when covering big vert changes or on soupy days when temperatures can fluctuate back and forth between butt-cold and mild. It actually "BREATHES", contrary to the way this word has been marketed in the past with other fabrics. eVent has unlocked the secret of how to make shtuff that blocks the elements without having to wear the suffocating PU-membrane-garbage-bag-Tex of yesterday (finally), and in the Mirage, Westcomb worked it into a smart design. Nice.
