The Summit Series® Women'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 cut a performance fit athletic profile and 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. 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.
