Marmot Exum Ridge Jacket - Women's Black, S
Weather on the Grand Teton changes faster than a fashion model at a runway show, so having a versatile waterproof shell like the Marmot Exum Ridge Women's Jacket is damn near essential when you're picking your way up exposed lines or making tracks back to the car while the storm chases you down. The Exum's Gore-Tex Active Shell membrane is waterproof, as you'd expect, but it really makes its money with breathability, so you'll stay dry during mountain squalls without getting sweaty on fast approaches. Marmot made sure each seam was finished with waterproof tape to fight off sogginess during prolonged periods of rainfall, and cut the Exum with an athletic fit and its famous Angel-Wing Movement that allows you to reach overhead and tech your way through tricky sections without exposing your waist or feeling restricted. The helmet-compatible hood has a moldable brim to keep your eyes clear, and the high hand pockets are designed to interface seamlessly with packs and harnesses, so you don't have to skip snacks just because you're stuck on belay duty.
