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 Haldigrat’s hood 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 Mammut Haldigrat Pant 2020 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.”
