While the outer shell provides essential protection, the Zenith LT's primary function is warmth regulation. It uses premium synthetic insulation that is strategically mapped to deliver reliable thermal performance even if it encounters dampness—a major advantage over down when generating heat. The jacket's high breathability ensures that moisture vapor escapes rapidly, preventing the chilling effect of sweat and keeping your insulation performing optimally.
The Zenith LT is designed to complement your collection:
Layering with Summit Pro: Wear it beneath The Blanc Summit Pro (Heavy Duty Shell) for total warmth and storm protection in the harshest alpine environments.
Insulation Upgrade: It offers significantly more warmth than The Blanc Trace Shell (Everyday), making it ideal when the temperature drops but flexibility is still critical.
We built the Zenith LT with the technical demands of the mountain in mind, mirroring the best features of specialized alpine apparel:
Durable, Water-Resistant Fabric: The stretch-woven outer fabric is treated with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, allowing the jacket to shed light snow and mist when worn alone in cold, dry conditions. Its durable face fabric resists abrasion.
Articulated Fit: Featuring articulated patterning and gusseted underarms, the jacket is constructed to move with your body, eliminating restriction during dynamic movements like reaching, pole-planting, or climbing.
Helmet-Compatible Hood: The insulated hood is fully adjustable and designed for seamless use over a helmet, locking in crucial head and neck warmth without sacrificing peripheral vision.
Low-Bulk Integration: The athletic fit ensures the hoody layers perfectly under
The Blanc Zenith LT Hoody: Your versatile, high-mobility thermal engine—the intelligent core of your cold-weather system.
