As we wade through powder, push against blinding spindrift, and kick up ice faces, the Patagonia Super Free Alpine Jacket takes on the elements to keep us comfortably dry underneath. The hood is equipped with an insulated gasket that stretches snug over our helmet to block out cold winds and hold in warm air, while the GORE-TEX membrane shuts out snow and ice crumbles yet lets our sweat vapor escape. As our body heat builds, we open the underarm vents to boost airflow, so we don't sweat out our baselayers. And as we wait for the rest of our crew to cross a crevasse, we slip our mittened hands inside the large handwarmer pockets for added protection until we start moving again.
