This hardshell kit is a dream for hardcore backcountry tourers and ski mountaineers. Both garments boast an excellent 20K/20K waterproof/breathability rating, elongated zip vents for easy heat dumpage and an elasticated fit that promotes mobility and freedom of movement up top. The hood on the Mammut Haldigrat Jacket 2020 also provides a single-pull vertical and horizontal adjustment system to dial in your level of head protection when the weather gets nasty. Down low, the Haldigrat Pant also comes with a dedicated beacon pocket, complete with an inner loop, to prevent the unsightly beacon bulge from wrecking your style game.

FREESKIER tester thoughts: “Excellent breathability! You can tell this combo was made with practicality in mind. This kit looks good and performs even better. I never broke a sweat when hiking with the use of the strategically designed vents, yet when it was windy, I never felt too cold.”
