MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR QUARK JACKET (MEN'S)

The Quark Jacket by Mountain Hardwear may have a funny name, but it provides absolute protection for wet and cold weather.  After years of research MHW finally got it right with their new Incite material that provides incredible lightness, absolute waterproofness yet has one of the highest ratings of breathability in all of their jackets. 

Unlike many of the "rain jackets" on the market,  the Quark is constructed with a four way stretch that gives you the mobility needed for all sorts of outdoor endeavors. If mountaineering or ultra-light backpacking is your thing, you need this jacket to complete your adventure.

"The Quark showcases a fabric which was two years in the making – Incite. This fabric is as minimalist as you could ever hope to achieve. It is for all intents and purposes, mosquito netting with a waterproof and breathable laminate applied to it. The result is a super light and super compact high-performance shell, with full stretch. It took us a while to get it right, but it has proven worth the hard work.” – Ted Ganio, Director of Merchandising
