Description:

Buy it at the Mountaineer.

A windproof hood and wicking Schoeller® fabric have placed the Ice Floe at the top of the climbing hierarchy. Dryskin® stretch fabric stands stoutly as an outer layer and moves sweat rapidly during sustained bursts of activity. The lined hood fits any helmet, adjusts peripherally with one gloved hand and secures when held in reserve. Eager to charge tough routes, brave swirling storms and repel wear, it knows the true meaning of endurance.

•A protective, wicking and warm soft shell for situations that dictate a hood
•Bulkless athletic cut, helmet-ready lined hood and a 100-wash rated DWR
•The guide`s first stretch-woven choice for full seasons of serious alpinism

Product Specs:
Schoeller® Dryskin Extreme™ w/3XDRY®
Durable Super DWR finish with increased water repellency
Easy adjust helmet compatible hood
One hand peripheral vision hood adjustment
Dual giant hand warmer pockets
Angled Napoleon chest pocket
Low bulk storm sealing cuff w/ laminated cuff tabs
Water repellent hood lining

Pros:	Great hood, comfortable, very water/wind resistant, nice pockets
Cons:	A little big in the belly

My favorite soft shell for ice climbing. The pockets are big and easy to use. The hood is huge, and sheds water well (including the inside for when the hood is open). The velcro closures on the wrists are thin and stay out of the way of gloves. Nice and warm, and plenty water resistant for anything I've encountered in the Adirondacks.

Recommend? yes | Price paid: Not Indicated | Rating: 9

Pros:	Great fit, highly breathable, but plenty wind-resistant; sweet hood
Cons:	velcro tabs on cuff delaminate (but still function fine)

this is a SWEET, great performing soft shell;
the hood is key, and fits easily over a helmet w/headlamp; great cargo pockets; long cut stays put under harness; the Schoeller fabric is wear resistant, breathes awesome, and provides plenty of wind and sleet resistance, especially with some layers underneath; wore mine with confidence from Mt. Washington to Mt. Andromeda in the Can. Rockies;
