Fast-drying, warm, and built for changeable conditions - this alpine layer works solo or with other compatible Switch pieces for all-season mountain performance.
Balancing moisture management for intense ascents with warmth for exposed belays, this alpine layer features zoned Octayarn insulation, a wind-resistant stretch outer, and articulated fit. Works alone or layered with other Switch pieces, performing as outer or midlayer in severe mountain conditions.
