Womens Barisian Jacket

Perfect as a light ski jacket or as a soft-shell layer for alpine hiking, the Barisian Jacket is windproof and waterproof, yet breathable, and lined with fleece that keeps you comfortable in the cold. Best of all, it's also designed to accommodate a helmet so that you can not only stay cozy, but safe on your adventures.

Helmets and jackets: two outdoor necessities that have been at odds since time immemorial (or, at least from our memories). Wear the helmet, and your head is protected while you're braving a snowy peak or exploring the unspoiled back-country on skis, but without the hood, your head is at risk of unwanted chills. The Mountain Hardwear Barisian jacket unites these with a hood made to fit over your protective helmet, no longer leaving you with the choice of protection against the elements or protection against head injury. Of course, since it also sports a warm, comfortable fleece lining and a waterproof, windproof, and fashionable outer shell with chest-level pockets made to accommodate a harness or pack (and two front handwarmer pockets made to accommodate… well, hands) it makes the choice about what soft-shell jacket to choose for your next outdoor excursion a no-brainer.
