The Montane Men’s Sabretooth Power Shield Softshell Jacket is likely to be the only jacket you need to wear for most of your mountain activities for most of the time you are at altitude.

The Montane Power Shield fabric has many great qualities including water resistance, wind resistance and abrasion resistance while still not being heavy enough to slow you down.

In addition, this fabric is highly breathable so that perspiration can escape to keep your skin drier and more comfortable. The Spandex in the material means there is some stretch in the jacket for further increased comfort.

The Montane Men’s Sabretooth Power Shield Softshell Jacket boasts a lot of positive design features such as an adjustable, helmet-compatible hood, articulated arms with reduced hem lift when reaching upwards and pockets and zip whose use is not hampered by a backpack or climbing harness.
