When you're pushing hard on alpine routes or tackling technical climbs in cool conditions, the Arc'teryx Proton SL Hoody delivers the perfect balance of warmth and breathability that active climbers demand. This ultralight insulated jacket features innovative Octa® Loft insulation that maintains its loft whether you're wearing it or stuffing it deep in your pack, while the breathable knit construction prevents the overheating that plagues traditional puffy jackets during high-output activities. The Fortius™ Air 20 face fabric provides weather resistance and 2-way stretch for unrestricted movement on technical terrain, while the helmet-compatible hood ensures this mountaineering essential works seamlessly with your climbing setup. At just 370g, this breathable insulation layer takes the guesswork out of staying comfortable during cold climbs, letting you focus on the route ahead rather than constantly layering up and down.
