Mountain Hardwear beefed up the Polartec Power Stretch fleece in the Mens Desna Jacket with an advanced surface-fusion polymer to create a water- and abrasion-resistant surface called HardFace. You get the stretch, warmth, and breathability of fleece with the protection of a soft shell for incredibly versatile protection. Mountain Hardware extended the collar to the hood to create a shield for your face in cold, windy conditions, and left the side panels with straight-up Power Stretch for mobility and breathability where you need it most.

* Microchamois lined chin guard prevents zipper chafe
* Close-fitting hood fits easily under a helmet
* Handwarmer pockets set high to accommodate a harness or pack straps
* Thumb-loops keep the cuffs in place

Bottom Line: Get a little extra out of your fleece.
