| The Mountain Hardwear Synchro Jacket is a 3-layer, waterproof soft shell. That’s right, a soft shell that’s waterproof, not just water-resistant. How so? The Syncrho features a waterproof laminate, taped seams and watertight, welded pocket zippers. Climb, ski, live winter in it. Touting this as one of the first waterproof soft shell to hit the market, Mountain Hardwear introduces the incredible Synchro jacket. If you’ve skied, climbed, or just hung out in a soft shell jacket in winter, you know how awesome it is—more breathable than a hard shell, comfortable, and fitted while flexible. But the one downside is they’re only water-resistant, not waterproof. Not anymore. Mountain Hardwear sandwiched a waterproof laminate, called Conduit, between a durable, stretch-woven exterior and a soft, microfleece interior to make Conduit softshell. Then they taped the exterior seams with stretchy, tenacious TufTape making them impermeable to water to keep you bone dry. Add watertight, welded pocket zippers, and you’ve got yourself a 3-layer soft shell as waterproof as traditional Gore-Tex jackets—but more sleek, pliable, and abrasion resistant. Finer details include raised hand pockets so they’re accessible with a harness on, a super handy arm pocket, and one-hand hem and neck drawcords. Cut specifically to fit women.

Bottom Line: A milestone in outerwear, the Synchro is the first waterproof soft shell. |
