Summit L5 Fuseform GTX Performance Jacket - Women's

Each design in the Summit Series is as tried and true as the athletes that test them. Alpinists, mountaineers, and backcountry skiers all depend on the collection to keep them warm, dry, and safe in the most extreme conditions. The newest Summit L5 FuseForm GTX Jacket for women is no different, now playing on the heart strings of the most weight conscious climbers.

The FuseForm GTX Jacket is 1.4oz lighter than the previous model, but in revolutionary fashion, is also tougher and more withstanding to the unavoidable scrapes, cuts, and tears accumulated over any amount of time on ice covered ridges. The breathable 3-Layer Gore-Tex fabric is specifically engineered with FuseForm threading construction for less seams, which means fewer opportunities for leaks over time. Every zipper is covered with a polyurethane coating for an added layer of waterproof protection from heavy downpours and continuous contact with ice. A shell this technically advanced should be considered a tool just as essential as the ice pick.
