Never crunchy or noisy, AscentShellโข is just as comfortable as a soft shell, with the performance of a hard shell. Air permeable and breathable, AscentShellโข vents perspiration and excess heat during aerobic activity, while its light weight saves precious energy on demanding endeavors.
Pertex developed Diamond Fuse technology as a unique way of improving the durability and abrasion resistance of fabrics without adding any unnecessary weight.

GORE-TEX is a waterproof material created by laminating a microporous membrane to a face fabric. This ultra-thin membrane allows water vapor to escape while preventing water from entering, keeping you dry and comfortable in wet conditions. In a 3L system, the waterproof membrane is bonded between a durable outer face fabric and an inner liner, creating a highly protective, long-lasting shell. A design used in high-performance outerwear built for extreme environments like mountaineering, backcountry skiing, and extended exposure to harsh weather.ย
