Staying warm on a multi-pitch climb is easier said than done, especially because it's easy to forget how biting the wind can be when you're sitting at a hanging belay while your partner takes an inconveniently long amount of time to work out the moves on the crux pitch, but that was before the Mountain Hardwear Kor Strata Hooded Jacket. Designed with climbers and skiers in mind, the Kor Strata packs down small by stowing away in it's own pocket, so it can be easily stashed away in a daypack or clipped to a harness, and the Primaloft Gold synthetic insulation packs enough of a punch to keep you toasty on mid-winter ski tours or shoulder season climbing missions. Constructed with a Quantum Air liner, this ultralight jacket breathes easily when you're on the move, so you can go from wearing it at the car while you wait for your buddies to get their ski boots on, to hustling up the skin track, without needing to shed a layer.
