A windproof jacket is an essential layer when you're working hard in the mountains. These jackets offer superior breathability compared to waterproof jackets, making them the ideal choice for challenging conditions that are windy but mostly dry.

In the mountains, wind is almost guaranteed, so having a reliable windproof jacket is a crucial part of your layering system. Our collection features two distinct types of windproof construction, each designed to meet specific needs:

Membrane Windproof Jackets

WINDSTOPPER® fabrics from GORE-TEX utilize an advanced membrane to block wind entirely while offering exceptional water resistance. These jackets are less breathable than non-membrane options but excel in extreme conditions. Durable and highly weather-resistant, they are perfect for activities where protection from the elements is paramount.

Non-Membrane Windproof Jackets

Our non-membrane windproofs feature double weave Soft Shell fabrics, such as Exolite. These innovative fabrics use different weaves on the front and back to deliver lightweight, breathable, and windproof performance. Denser weaves enhance wind resistance, ensuring warmth and protection in exposed conditions. Exolite fabrics are numbered to indicate weight, with higher numbers offering increased durability and weather resistance.

Whether you're climbing at a windswept crag, hiking in rugged landscapes, or tackling exposed ridgelines, a windproof jacket keeps you protected without sacrificing comfort.
