How often do you get to see climbing superstars like Alex Honnold modelwaterproof jackets? Never. Until now, that is! The Free Solo made an exception, and for a good reason: the waterproof shell he’s wearing, the new FUTURELIGHT Summit Series Papsura Jacket, is the brand’s lightest technical shell ever, which is well worth the hype.
Named after a mighty peak in the Indian Himalayas, the Papsura Jacket ensures you stay dry and comfortable during high-output adventures, offering an ‘impenetrable barrier’ against rain and nasty weather while remaining unbelievably lightweight and packable.
Featuring an ultralight FUTURELIGHT breathable and waterproof membrane and a durable nylon ripstop face fabric, the Papsura weighs just 224 g (7.9 oz) for men and 200 g (7 oz) for women.
It has a helmet-compatible hood equipped with a single point of adjustment at the back to ensure a snug fit, while the absence of shoulder seams enhances comfort, especially when wearing a pack.
Two secure-zip hand pockets, strategically positioned for harness compatibility, provide convenient storage, and the jacket can be easily stowed in the right pocket, thanks to a double-sided zipper and webbing loop, allowing for attachment to a backpack or harness.
Additionally, the low-profile cuffs and lower hem feature pre-tensioned elastic panels, eliminating the need for bulky adjustment systems while maintaining a sleek silhouette.
