Why We Like The Mountain Equipment Frontier Hooded Jacket
The Mountain Equipment Frontier Hooded Jacket is our top pick for winter conditions. Its stretchy softshell fabric provides excellent breathability, preventing us from overheating during active pursuits. The adjustable hood is designed to fit over skiing, snowboarding, and climbing helmets, ensuring maximum weather protection. The jacket's articulated fit allows for unrestricted movement and makes it easy to layer with baselayers and midlayers. This combination keeps us dry and warm, without causing overheating, during winter hikes, ski tours, and mountaineering missions.
