Designed for Mountain Weather
Built with bluesign® approved Pertex® Shield Pro and fully taped seams, the SkyChaser delivers waterproof protection designed for demanding mountain environments. Its lightweight 2.5-layer construction helps reduce pack weight while maintaining the durability and performance required for alpine pursuits.
Large pit zips provide ventilation during high-output efforts, while the helmet-compatible hood, alpine-ready pocket layout, and adjustable cuffs and hem ensure the jacket is ready for technical terrain when conditions deteriorate.
Built to Move
The SkyChaser isn't designed to sit in the bottom of your pack. It's built for movement. Mechanical stretch throughout the fabric allows unrestricted mobility whether you're climbing, scrambling, skinning uphill, or covering ground quickly in the hills.
By balancing weather protection, breathability, and packability, the SkyChaser offers a modern approach to alpine outerwear for those who prefer to move fast and travel light.
