Berghaus says:
A Lightweight, Stretchy Softshell Designed Specifically For Protection And Comfort When Climbing.
With high levels of breathability and durability for long days on the crags. Made from a super stretchy weather resistant fabric this Fast Climb Jacket feels super comfortable next to your skin when you’re making those high reach dynamic moves but has tough Kevlar fabric across the forearm for protection against the rock. Features a climbing helmet compatible hood and venting hand pockets that can be worn with a climbing harness so you can easily wear it on or off the rock.
Berghaus' Fast Climb SoftShell Jacket is designed to keep you protected from the weather. Softshells can range from being virtually waterproof (but not quite) to the very lightweight ones that are not very protective at all. The Fast Climb is somewhere in the middle. It is weather resistant, which means it can shrug off the odd shower, will dry quickly and is wind resistant.
The jacket has a technical hood with full adjustment and a wired peak. Again it has this for weather protection, a well-fitting hood gives you a lot of welcome protection against a strong wind and showers.
You can see the real purpose of this jacket from the reinforced forearms, it is designed to be very durable and that includes scraping against a granite cliff whilst climbing for days on end.
