Why We Like The Aerofoil Full Zip Jacket
The unpredictable high alpine requires weather protection, and when we’re moving fast and light above the treeline, we’re bringing along the Mountain Equipment Aerofoil Full Zip Jacket as shelter from the elements. Made to block wind without slowing you down, this durable stretch soft shell jacket has the features you need with no frills. The hem and cuffs seal out the chill while the close-fitting hood eliminates bulk while blocking the elements. When the sun comes out, the whole thing zips into its own pocket with carry loops so you can clip it to your pack and keep moving.

For a jacket that you can literally see through and weighs almost nothing, it is an effective windbreaker. For light winds, it works well as an insulative layer. I've not had it out in the rain yet, but previous experience with Mountain Equipment's DWR makes me think it perform well in a drizzle to light rain. Because it packs up so small and can hang from your pack, this would make a great addition to fall or spring backpacking. I would order a size up from your normal size, only so you can have more than a baselayer underneath.
