La Sportiva Freeway Wind Jacket - Men

You've packed light for the approach, but the wind at the base of the route has other ideas. That's when we appreciate the Freeway. It gives you an extra layer of protection without taking over your pack, and once the sun reaches the wall, it packs away and clips to your harness.

Consider Another Option If

You need a waterproof jacket for prolonged rain or prefer a more substantial softshell for repeated abrasion and cooler conditions.

• Rock climbing and multi-pitch routes
• Fast alpine approaches
• Windy ridgelines in mild weather
• Climbers who value packability

• Helmet-compatible hood: Provides a low-profile fit beneath a climbing helmet.
• Laser-cut ventilation: Helps airflow under the arms while preserving hearing through the hood.
• Integrated chest-pocket storage: Packs away with a hanging loop for attachment to a harness.
• Adjustable hem and elastic cuffs: Help maintain coverage during movement.

Is the Freeway Wind Jacket waterproof?

No. It resists wind and light precipitation but isn't intended to replace a waterproof hardshell during sustained rain.

Can it be carried on a climbing harness?

Yes. It packs into its chest pocket, which includes a hanging loop.
