Mammut Ultimate VIII SO Hooded Men's Softshell Jacket Black

When the wind picks up on an exposed ridge and the clouds roll in, the Mammut Ultimate VIII SO Hooded Men's Softshell Jacket is the layer you want. Built with GORE-TEX Infinium™ 3-layer fabric, it shrugs off gusts and light rain while letting your body breathe during high-output climbs and fast hikes. The athletic cut moves with you, and the adjustable hood stays put when you need extra coverage. Underarm zips dump heat on steep ascents, and the PFC-free DWR treatment keeps you drier without harming the environment. From alpine approaches to daily commutes, this jacket delivers reliable protection and comfort.
