Moving fast in full on alpine conditions requires a balance of low weight and durable protection in other words, it requires the Patagonia Men's M10 Jacket. A three layer H2No Performance Standard waterproof, windproof, and breathable membrane and ripstop nylon shell with a DWR finish fends off nasty weather while keeping a low profile and slim silhouette for efficient climbing and hiking. In order to keep the jacket light and exceptionally waterproof, Patagonia integrated welded seams with narrow seam taping and added watertight zips to ensure burly protection against wind driven and intense precipitation. The hood fits comfortably over a climbing helmet and features a single pull adjustment for one handed cinching, and it can be stowed away when you're on the move so it doesn't flap behind you like the sail of an alpine schooner. You can store the M10 in its own chest pocket and throw it in your pack or clip it to your harness via the carabiner loop on those rare occasions when the skies turn clear and winds die down, and cinch up the drawcord hem and hook and loop cuffs when things get blustery again in, oh, about 30 seconds.
