A minimalist shell that packs down small to fit in a travel bag or an alpine pack. In coastal climates or fast-changing mountain weather, it offers protection from storms and persistent rain. The design features deep pockets where you can stash accessories, and a hood that adjusts for coverage, mobility and a clear view of the way ahead. MEC chose Pertex Shield + for the Alpine Ally, as it presents both reliable outdoor performance and accessible value. With a versatile cut, you can use this jacket for climbing, hiking and skiing, or any outing when mixed weather is in the forecast.
