High Exposure Gore-Tex C-Knit Jacket & Bib | 2025

With an ultralight feel and backcountry-specific features, this high-end kit is perfect for long days and big missions in the backcountry. For 2024-25, Mountain Hardwear updated the styling on this three-layer combo, which uses Gore-Tex C-Knit shell fabric, with 100-percent recycled nylon, for protection from mother nature’s welcome and unwelcome outbursts.

A relaxed fit throughout the jacket and pant makes it easy to move about the backcountry. Interior jacket pockets offer enough room to stash your skins at the transition, and a gear loop in the chest pocket of the bibs keeps necessities organized and accessible on the go. Oversized vents under the arms open up to dump excess heat and grant easy access to internal pockets—another reason it’s one of our skin-track favorites. The bib features two side zips for venting, a lengthy front zip for easy access, and is also available long, regular and short lengths to ensure the fit is just right.
