The Ascensionist jacket is Patagonia’s most technical soft shell for full-on mountain pursuits that strikes the alpinist’s balance between protection and minimalism. The dense polyester-stretch fabric has exceptional water- and wind-resistance, a rapid dry time and superb breathability. Pared-down detailing provides everything you need and nothing more. The helmet-compatible, 3-way-adjustable hood, water-resistant zippers, and large external handwarmer pockets that are placed above the harness-line make the Ascensionist the winter shell for alpine climbing, ice climbing and backcountry skiing.
