The newly updated Makalu Jacket from Mountain Equipment is the ideal durable and breathable waterproof jacket for your alpine adventures. Utilising a 70-denier PFAS-free GORE-TEX® ePE membrane, this jacket provides ultimate protection against harsh weather conditions like rain, wind, snow and sleet. Many pockets with YKK® zips and waterproof pocket bags ensure that your valuables stay safe and dry when out on the hill, and the YKK® WR2-way centre front full zip and YKK® WR underarm pit zips offer some added ventilation and air flow when you need to dump that excess heat.

The alpine fit ensures you have plenty of room to layer underneath the jacket, ideal for use in cold and warm but wet environments. With the hand pockets place strategically to stay out of the way of pack straps or a harness, and featuring a fully adjustable, helmet-compatible hood, this jacket is ideal for climbing and mountaineering. So, if you are looking for the perfect all-rounder jacket that provides ultimate protection against the elements, the Makalu Jacket from Mountain Equipment is for you.
