A favourite with product testers and MEC Ambassadors, the Alpine Variant Jacket can be worn going up and coming down without having to stop to add or remove layers. Because the Neo Shell fabric is highly breathable, it allows you to ramp up to maximum exertion while keeping you dry inside. Designed as a minimalist shell you can wear on the move, it isn't as waterproof as a heavier shell made for absolutely saturating conditions. But as a shell layer for days of big vertical gain and drop, this is an all-systems-go solution.
