Mountain Hardwear Alchemy Jacket - Men's
Keeping the heat moving out

Ranked #4700 - Men's Softshell Jackets

Being beset by hot Hungarian blood, I'm always literally soaking my layers on a ski excursion. The Alchemy jacket has allowed for a vast improvement in heat transfer out. Adding pit zips at my local clothing repair shop made for an even bigger improvement.
I've worn this jacket in blinding snow squalls with the same confidence I have on a blindingly sunny day. For anyone who has difficulty with excess heating, this jacket comes highly recommended.
