The Summit Series® Men's Cipher Vest is made from wind impermeable, breathable Gore Windstopper® soft shell that also sheds moisture. Wind is a climber's enemy and Windstopper® stops it dead. Softshell combines the comfort of a soft mid layer with the weather resistance of a breathable shell in one garment. TNF™ Apex Aerobic 4-way stretch side panels increase the suppleness of the Cipher Vest which is ideal for hard charging pursuits like cross-country skiing, ski mountaineering or climbing where unrestricted total freedom of arm movement is desirable. Roomy alpine pockets are useful for keeping energy bars, phone or camera to hand. No alpine wardrobe is complete without a Cipher Vest that comes with a reassuring Summit Series® tag.

The Cipher in sleeveless form is a great layering item but also works well as an outer layer in its own right.

The Windstopper fabric is light but also importantly blocks 100% of wind to eliminate those chilling breezes.

The Apex fabric down the sides is incredibly stretch which will increase your freedom of movement, it also is not completely wind-proof which increases breathability where you need it.

The large pockets will keep your gear close at hand and they are set higher up so if you are wearing a harness they shant get in the way.
