This lightweight and durable softshell jacket made with Matrix™ stretch fabric offers great mobility on technical climbing adventures. Working to adapt to your output and regulate temperature, this tough softshell fabric is highly breathable and fast drying. With reinforced ripstop overlays, the Torque Jacket is built to withstand rock and ice. Its fluorocarbon-free DWR finish provides moderate protection from light rain and snow.
The Torque Jacket’s fully adjustable, helmet compatible hood has a stiff peak to aid visibility in swirling spindrift, and concealed cordlocks, so you can cinch it in tight when the wind picks up. It has a robust, two-way YKK® VISLON® front zip for ease of use with a harness, with an internal stormflap for wind and weather protection. The cuffs can also be adjusted with hook and loop tabs and their extended design offers extra protection over the back of the hands. Built with two zipped hand pockets, a zipped napoleon chest pocket, adjustable hem, and regular fit, it makes a great outer jacket or midlayer, with storage to keep gloves, snack or compass close at hand.
How to measure.
Chest: Measure the full circumference of your chest just below your armpits.
Waist: Find the top of your hip and measure the full circumference around your body.
Arm length: Measure horizontally from the centre of your back, across the shoulder, over a naturally bent elbow and down to the wrist fold.
While all our garments are sized to these measurements, you will find that the cut on jackets designed for use in more extreme environments will be slightly more generous in the expectation that these designs will be used with additional/thicker midlayers. If you plan on using a jacket like this with fewer layers beneath it, please keep this in mind when selecting your size.
All garments are designed and fitted to suit their intended end use. See below for a general description of our fit categories:
Regular: Neither slim nor loose. Regular fit items are the perfect balance of form fit and ease of movement.
Slim: A streamlined silhouette. Cut trim following the contours of the body. Expertly placed articulation of seams and the use of stretch fabric ensure maximum freedom of movement in these close-fitting items.
Relaxed: Our more generous fit. Cut loosely through the body allowing for ease of movement and additional layering.
Expedition: Designed specifically to accommodate the layering system and equipment required for high altitude and polar expeditions.
