I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Westalpen Swisswool Jacket - Men's

Description

Why We Love the Westalpen Swisswool Jacket:

When it comes to alpine-ready midlayers, there's no better option than the Ortovox Westalpen Swisswool Jacket. With its thin synthetic wool blend, this jacket not only layers well but also offers exceptional performance. It effectively wicks away sweat while we walk, provides excellent insulation while we ski, and also stays fresh by resisting odors, allowing us to confidently venture out again tomorrow.

Key Features:

  • Designed as a midlayer for high-intensity adventures above the tree line
  • Merino wool fabric controls temperature, wicks moisture, and eliminates odors for maximum comfort
  • The grid pattern on the lining creates warm air pockets, offering extra insulation
  • The raised collar provides protection against icy winds and heavy snow
  • A single zippered pocket allows for easy access even with a backpack
