Ultimate VIII SO Hooded Jacket is a structured soft shell for exposed hiking and trekking. Its three-layer WINDSTOPPER® fabric by GORE-TEX Labs uses a PFC-free ePE membrane and recycled polyester on both sides to block wind without the feel of a hard shell.
An open 3D backer moves moisture away from the body, supported by underarm vents when effort rises. The regular cut includes thumb loops and a one-point hood with a reinforced peak for stable coverage.
A two-way front zip, chest pocket and two zipped hand pockets keep the jacket practical across changing terrain. The adjustable hem is designed to be repaired, extending a layer intended for frequent use rather than occasional weather duty.
