The Calcite Jacket is the perfect top shell to a touring kit. It's light, breathable, and SUPER waterproof - making multi-days in the backcountry easier when you need to stay dry. I have this in the coral and gypsum green and love both colors and wear it ice climbing, skiing, and everything in-between. Kelli S · backcountry.com

Love how functional, yet stylish this jacket is. It could be (depending where you live) your all in one jacket. For going to work, or climbing a mountain, or biking. It’s been -20C where I live, and with the right layering, it’s been great! Breathable, yet keeps the wind chill out - and doesn’t become mega crunchy like most jackets (this has more of a soft crunch). The waterproofing is amazing!! W Jonathon B. · altitude-sports.com
