About the Mountain Hardwear High Exposure GORE-TEX C-Knit Jacket

The Mountain Hardwear High Exposure is a men's GORE-TEX C-Knit shell built for ski touring and backcountry use. C-Knit is a three-layer GORE-TEX with a softer, quieter backer than standard laminates, and the jacket adds underarm zippered vents and a hooded, full-zip design. It is an uninsulated shell, so it competes with other lightweight touring shells on breathability and packability rather than warmth. Owners treat it as a solid touring shell that breathes and vents well.

Best forSki tourers and splitboarders who climb and descend in one jacketBackcountry hikers wanting a packable waterproof shellResort skiers who run warm and want ventingBuyers who prefer a quieter, softer GORE-TEX feel
Pros
  • GORE-TEX C-Knit is waterproof and breathable with a softer hand than stiff laminates
  • Underarm zippered vents dump heat on the skin track
  • Hooded, full-zip shell layers easily over a midlayer
  • Suits both ski touring and backcountry hiking
  • Rated 4.3 out of 5 from 23 ratings

Questions and answers

Is the High Exposure warm enough for skiing?
It is an uninsulated shell, so it blocks wind and snow but adds no warmth. Pair it with a fleece or puffy for cold days.
What is GORE-TEX C-Knit?
It is a three-layer GORE-TEX with a knit backer that feels softer and rustles less than standard laminates. It stays waterproof and breathable.
Does it have pit zips?
Yes. It has underarm zippered vents for dumping heat on climbs.
Is it good for backcountry hiking too?
Yes. It is listed for ski touring and backcountry use and works as a packable rain shell for hikers.
How does it compare with GORE-TEX Pro shells?
C-Knit feels softer and quieter and breathes well, but GORE-TEX Pro is tougher against abrasion from rock and pack straps. Choose Pro for rough alpine use, C-Knit for touring comfort.
