A lightweight, waterproof outer shell, the Men's Saltoro GORE-TEX Jacket from Mountain Equipment is perfectly equipped for mountain pursuits and fits well as part of your layering system with articulated and pre-shaped sleeves for excellent moveability, and underarm pit zips that allow you to increase air flow and ventilation. This technical jacket adopts two types of waterproof GORE-TEX, from the 2.5-layer GORE-TEX PACLITE® that is lightweight and easily packable without compromising on durability, and the 3-layer GORE-TEX reinforcements that ensure your jacket is hardwearing against constant use, particularly in the shoulders where your pack straps might sit.
The 2-way YKK® Aquaguard® centre front zip also features an internal storm flap to keep the rain out, and 2 large YKK® zippered pockets provide plenty of space to stash mountain essentials, from snacks to maps. The adjustable cuffs fit easily over or under gloves, and the hood is also fully adjustable and can be worn whilst you are wearing a helmet. Enjoy your mountain adventures whatever the weather, with the lightweight and waterproof Men's Saltoro GORE-TEX Jacket.

The Mountain Equipment Men's Saltoro GORE-TEX Jacket - Orange has the following sustainability attributes...
Fluorinated DWR finishes make clothing waterproof by repelling water droplets. ‘PFCs’ is the broad term for all fluorocarbon chemicals, of which PFOS and PFOA are sub-groups. Different chemicals in this family have a varying number of carbon atoms, so C6 has six carbon atoms and C8 has eight. While the outdoor industry has moved away from C8 (or 'long chain') PFCs, C6 (short chain) PFCs are currently unbeatable in their waterproofing performance. They're considered less harmful to the environment than C8, but they have not been proven to be safe. PFCs are known as forever chemicals; once created they will never break down and are harmful to people and the planet. To read more about the chemistry related to PFCs, head here.
PFC-Free DWR uses alternative, biodegradable technologies that repels water from the surface of a fabric - such as Fjallraven's Greenland Wax. PFC-Free DWR coatings are water resistant enough for most daily activities, so if you don’t need a highly technical waterproof, consider a PFC-Free garment instead.
