Stay adaptable and keep going with this robust, stretchy softshell jacket. It's toughened at the shoulders and sleeves, making it perfect for high-energy climbs on rough ground, winter strolls, and tricky ascents.

The scimitar is a midweight softshell, striking a great balance between warmth, protection, and flexibility. It's perfect as an outer layer when the weather changes rapidly or can be layered under a hardshell for when heavy rain is on the forecast. It boasts wind resistance and outstanding breathability. With a fluorocarbon-free durable water repellent finish, it easily sheds light rain and snow, letting you focus less on layering up and more on tackling the elements.

Crafted from soft, brushed-back Matrix™ fabric, this jacket quickly wicks moisture, dries fast, and regulates temperature, so you stay comfortable even when the action heats up. Reinforcements in high-wear areas handle rock abrasion and the pressure from your pack straps without a hitch. Its stretchy design gives you unrestricted movement, especially on steeper inclines. Keep the cold at bay with adjustable cuffs and a protective hood designed to block wind while ensuring your visibility with a stiff peak and smooth head movement. Whether you're using a walking axe or trekking with poles, the scimitar is a versatile layer that keeps you comfy across a range of conditions.
