The Mountain Equipment Shield jacket is the soft shell that you always hankered for. Sure it won't handle torrential rain but it can put up with most other conditions and its more comfortable, stretchier and cooler looking than any hard shell you will encounter.
The Shield Jacket is particularly suited to Alpine use where the stretch fabric comes into it's own and you are also more likely to encounter snow showers than hard rain.
The Mountain Equipment Shield jacket benefits from ample smart pockets, water rsistant zips, a serious hood and intelligent use of Polartec Poweshield inserts. When these design features are combined with Gore Windstopper Soft Shell fabric the result is a really smart and highly usable garment.
We admit that part of the appeal of the Mountain Equipment Shield jacket is that it looks great, this is in no small part due to the combination of green zips with black fabric.
