As reflected in their hard work and commitment to designing the best, Mountain Hardwear’s Torch Jacket was named 2006 Backpacker 2006 Editor’s Choice Award winner.  Backpacker Magazine raves the Torch Jacket for being a “weather-protective soft-shell that maintains its stretch even at the seams.” Mountain Hardwear designed the Torch Jacket to be waterproof and breathable and wearable for full day hiking excursions and as an exterior layer in the cooler months. 

Here are a few more of the jacket’s highlights:

• Lightweight weighing in at 1 pound 1 ounce
• Layer it  as a ski jacket for backcountry skiing and ice climbing
• Wear it solo for alpine climbing and hiking
• Extremely thin and underarm zippers- which is great for fit and overall performance
• Full wind protection yet breathable
• Easy to move in and more compressible due to the seams being welded
• Soft flannel knit lining for added warmth
• Integrated hood
• Dries quick when it gets wet (water resistant)
