Those women brave enough to stay active in inclement weather called out for instant breathability, so Mountain Hardwear answered with their Zahra Jacket. The new kid on the block, DryQ Elite technology, is first in the industry to provide four-season waterproof/breathability without clamminess.
Looking for a flattering fit, or warmth and durability for backcountry performance? You should never have to compromise one for the other. Mountain Hardwear's Zahra Softshell Jacket for Women sees that you don't, by upping the standards for highly breathable jackets. The seals are sonically welded, and this means complete waterproofing. “Butter Jersey” cuffs and watertight zips treat you to a hiking, climbing, or skiing experience free from moisture sneaking in to reduce core warmth. The single-strap adjustable hood fits a helmet and its large brim gives extra protection from the skies. Chest-high pockets, courtesy of a flattering Alpine fit, allow accessibility when you strap on a pack or a harness. Other waterproof/breathable fabrics need initial humidity to kick-start ventilation: Mountain Hardwear's pioneering DryQ Elite line eliminates this unnecessary and clammy first step, so you don't wait for the Zahra Softshell to breathe, but know that as soon as it's on, it's working.
