Ultra Lightweight for Backcountry Comfort


On backcountry missions, grams matter – but so does having the right gear so you can stay comfortable and keep moving. Using a nanospun polyurethane fibre structure, we have produced our most lightweight, comfortable and breathable membrane to date.

Ultra Breathable to Keep You Moving


FUTURELIGHTâ„¢ offers class-leading breathability without compromising waterproof performance, pulling moisture away from your body so you stay dry even during high-output activity in the mountains.

Weather in the mountains can change rapidly, without warning. The Summit Papsura FUTURELIGHT™ Jacket’s ultra-packable design ensure you always have a waterproof shell on hand when rain showers move in. Unpack it when you need it and stow it away when the weather clears.
