Rheology: Science of the flow and deformation of materials.

Goal: Create a minimized shell system whose components perform extremely well in a wide range of mountain activities and high alpine travel.

Theories Tested:

-Minimized hood adjustment for one-handed full hood adjustability in crucial situations.

-Increased hood mobility when fully synched.

-Minimized venting for increased shoulder mobility relying on the high breathability of Polartec Neoshell
