La Lyre, one of France's most beautiful and difficult pure ice climbs, forms about once a decade. It's a long day, so be ready if the crux pillar connects. The ideal soft shell for the light-and-fast minimalist, the Stretch KruShell's windproof, highly water-resistant fab- ric gives outstanding breathability and stretch, allowing a comfortable fit and unhindered mobility. The 3-way Optipull hood, with volume control, fits snugly without compromise or flapping. Other technical features include a Deluge~ DWR zipper, a radius-cut bottom hem for mobility, a removable crotch strap, non bulky cuffs, and mesh torso pockets that open long for venting and storage.
