The Alchemy is comfortable, flexible, tough and weather shedding made for the demands of rigorous activities like ice and alpine climbing. Alchemy's nylon shell combines with Gore Windstopper laminate for durably windproof, water-resistant and breathable protection. Polyester microfleece bonded lining traps warm air and wicks moisture away from skin for dry comfort. Arm and side panels have air permeable, four-way stretch. Durable Water Repellent finish causes water to bead up and roll off, fending off light rain showers and snow. Front zipper is backed by an inner wind flap; soft microfleece lines the collar and chin guard. Tall stand-up collar with drawcord, Polartec Power Stretch hidden cuffs and two-sided, one-handed drawcord hem seal in warmth. Droptail hem offers increased coverage in back. Two handwarmer pockets are positioned so they won't interfere with pack straps; also features a welded chest pocket and an interior stash pocket. |
