American Mountain Co. Gentleman's Mid-Altitude Softshell

If you want to rap about the history of high-altitude alpinism along with urban fashion, Detroit-based American Mountain Company is where you go.  Riffing on the dominant blue and white colorways from the ’53 conquest of Everest by Hillary, Softshell transforms Schoeller WB-400 into big city street credibility.  Not for everyone, M-A breathed well and stretched to the limits in Active Junky testing.  Cush inside and weather fitting out, the model’s hightop collar was a standout feature as were easy-glide Aquazip zippers; inward-facing pocket flaps signaled this one’s different.
