Men's SkyChaser Jacket

DescriptionKey FeaturesSpecificationsCare

The SkyChaser Jacket combines bluesign® approved Pertex® Shield Pro fabric and mechanical stretch to deliver lightweight, waterproof performance that packs down small for fast-moving alpine pursuits in unpredictable mountain weather — built for fast and light travel in challenging alpine conditions with highly waterproof and durable protection, made with bluesign® approved Pertex® Shield Pro fabric that combines durable weather protection with mechanical stretch for unrestricted movement, fully taped seams and a helmet-compatible hood with a wire brim seal out the elements, large pit zips provide adjustable ventilation, high hand pockets, internal zip chest pocket, molded cuff tabs, and elastic drawcord hem add functional comfort and secure fit for fast-moving alpine missions.

Pertex® Shield Pro 2.5L Waterproof Shell

Premium bluesign® approved Pertex® Shield Pro 2.5L fabric delivers highly waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection with mechanical stretch — the 2.5L construction (membrane + print) is lighter than 3L shells while remaining fully waterproof.

Fast & Light Alpine Performance

Built for fast-moving travel in challenging alpine conditions — weighs just 11.6 oz / 329 g (about 1/4 the weight of the Snowcrew Down Jacket) and packs down small for stashing in a pack during climbing and ski touring missions.

Mechanical Stretch for Movement

40D ripstop with mechanical stretch construction moves with your body — high-steps, dyno moves, and scrambles happen without the binding or bunching of stiffer alpine shells. Critical for technical climbing and ski touring.

Fully Adjustable Helmet-Compatible Hood

Adjustable hood fits cleanly over climbing and ski touring helmets — wire brim holds its shape against wind and seals out weather at the crown while keeping peripheral vision clear.

YKK® Aquaguard® Zippers Throughout

Premium YKK® Aquaguard® zippers on the high hand pockets and 2-way center front zipper (Vislon Aquaguard®) seal out water completely — no weak points for rain ingress through the zipper teeth.

Large Pit Zips for Ventilation

Generous pit zips dump heat fast on the climb and seal tight for descents — no need to remove the jacket when you're working hard during the approach or boot pack.

High Hand Pockets for Harness Wear

Pockets are positioned high on the chest/waist — accessible while wearing a climbing harness or pack hip-belt. Critical for alpine climbing and ski touring when you can't reach standard lower pockets.

Internal Zip Chest Pocket

Internal zippered chest pocket secures phone, keys, snacks, or a small map — out of the way but accessible when wearing a pack or harness.

Molded Cuff Adjust Tabs

Molded (rubberized) cuff tabs are easy to operate with cold or gloved hands — seal out wind and snow at the wrists and fit cleanly under or over gloves depending on conditions.

52% Recycled Nylon, Bluesign® Approved

Sustainable bluesign® approved 52% recycled nylon construction — high recycled content without sacrificing performance, durability, or weather protection.

Machine Wash Cold

Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a technical fabric cleaner (like Nikwax Tech Wash) — preserves the Pertex® Shield Pro 2.5L membrane, DWR finish, and mechanical stretch.

Tumble Dry Low or Hang Dry

Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry away from direct sunlight — low heat reactivates the DWR finish and protects the membrane.

Do Not Bleach, Iron, or Dry Clean

Avoid chlorine bleach (degrades membrane and DWR), hot irons (melts 2.5L print and synthetic fibers), and dry-cleaning solvents (strip DWR finish and membrane).

Re-Proof DWR Periodically

After 30-50 days of regular wear, the DWR finish fades. Restore with a PFC-free spray-on DWR (like Nikwax TX Direct) to maintain shell water beading and breathability.

Store Uncompressed

Store hanging on a wide hanger or loosely folded — avoid long-term compression in a stuff sack, which can damage the 2.5L membrane and reduce long-term waterproofing.
