Alpine Pro Jacket - Men's

Montane's Alpine Pro Men's Jacket is serious about one thing: keeping you dry in the alpine. Its Gore-Tex Pro shell, no-frills design, and robust face fabric puts an emphasis on durability and stops moisture dead in its tracks while maintaining exceptional breathability. Montane exceeded industry standards when it built the Alpine Pro by exceeding the stitch count along the seams to increase durability and employing a low-bulk seam tape to reduce the overall weight and mass of the jacket.

Although fairly light on features, the Alpine Pro employs a less is more philosophy behind its design. The protective hood is bolstered by a tall collar to shield the face, and it is helmet compatible so it can be cinched tight around a climbing helmet when high winds and driving snow catch you outside of your tent. Large underarm vents rapidly vacate excess heat when you're working hard up a mountain, and the gusseted gloves are specifically designed to fit around bulky mountaineering gloves to form a snow-tight seal at the wrists. As far as fit goes, the Alpine Pro has a trim cut with slightly larger chest and bicep dimensions to accommodate extra layers. The dropped back hem offers additional coverage, and the tailored arms help mitigate hem lift when you're swinging ice tools and placing screws.
