The Montane Men’s Axion Neo Alpha Jacket enables you to keep going in extreme high-altitude conditions with its superb ability to keep out snowstorms and rainstorms, to keep you warm and to let the perspiration escape. The combination of highly technical fabrics in this jacket protects you from the weather, ventilates your body against debilitating excess heat and sweat but still keeps you warm enough when you are resting or waiting. The protection is completed by the fully adjustable and helmet-compatible hood which can be rolled out of the way in windy conditions. The Montane Men’s Axion Neo Alpha Jacket boasts further features to make your progress easier including articulated arms, hem-lift prevention and a fit that allows layering to be comfortably accommodated underneath.
