Featherlight Exploration Outerwear

The Mountain Hardwear Exposure/2 Gore-Tex Pro LT is Protective

— January 21, 2021 — Fashion
The Mountain Hardwear Exposure/2 Gore-Tex Pro LT Jacket is a protective piece of outerwear that is focused on providing immersive support for wearers, while also working to keep things as light as possible.

The jacket features an intentionally stripped down version of the original style in a bid to shed excess weight and put a focus on a featherlight profile. The jacket thus weighs in at 59 grams less than the previous version, while still delivering impressive waterproof and breathable capabilities.

The Mountain Hardwear Exposure/2 Gore-Tex Pro LT Jacket has an adjustable hood to make it compatible for wear with a helmet and is also equipped with a series of oversized interior pockets that will drastically enhance storage for keeping essentials on hand.
