Our lightweight Kinetic Alpine 2.0 Jacket is so comfortable, it’s easy to forget you’re wearing a waterproof.

Built for lightweight ascents and to help you pare back kit on remote, multi-day expeditions, the Kinetic Alpine 2.0 is a versatile, high stretch, waterproof shell for hikers, climbers and mountaineers.

It uses soft and quiet waterproof Proflex™ fabric with a breathable waterproof membrane, 100% recycled face fabric and a fast-wicking backer to shift moisture during high-energy ascents. Reinforced panels across the hip, arm, shoulders and hood protect against the abrasion and exposure of tough, technical climbs. Designed with a closer fit than a traditional shell, its flexible construction is combined with a range of high-spec features.

For all-day dryness, comfort and mobility, it has water-resistant AquaGuard® zips, a helmet-compatible hood, and easy adjustment at the hood, hem and cuffs. Tough but flexible, waterproof but breathable, this is the ultimate ‘soft’ hardshell for committed alpine adventure.

Proflex™ Fabric

Feels like a softshell, protects like a hardshell. Proflex™ is our own waterproof membrane offering outstanding comfort at high intensities and in wild weather. Developed to offer stretch and exceptional breathability, the Proflex™ PU membrane has natural elasticity. It works in harmony with recycled knitted or woven fabrics to maintain this stretch and achieve a lightweight, soft, and flexible 3-layer waterproof fabric. The inner fabrics of Proflex™ laminates have excellent wicking properties. They work with the hydrophilic membrane to accelerate the process of moisture movement away from the body and out through the system. A DWR treatment on the face fabric keeps the membrane functioning at its best.
