The Mountain Hardwear Solidus Polartec Powerstretch Softshell Jacket is made of Polartec® Power Stretch® Hardface. This fabric has a four-way stretch and a bi-component construction; the inside is brushed to draw moisture away from the skin, while the outer surface is durable and slides easily under and outer layer. Great to use as a layer, with smooth side out, for maximum warmth and wicking capability; wear it with the smooth side in as an outer layer.

Low-profile, helmet compatible hood is fitted like a balaclava, keeping snow and water out and warmth in.
