The Mountain Equipment Mens Saltoro Jacket is a protective waterproof shell trouser designed for mountaineering, climbing and backpacking. Gore-Tex is a waterproof and highly breathable membrane that stops wind and rain while allowing moisture vapour to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable. It is completely windproof, meaning cold winds can't pass through and create unwanted cooling. The membrane is bonded to high performance shell fabrics providing durability and further water repellency whilst being seam sealed for complete waterproof performance. An adjustable attached climbing hood provides convenient protection from the elements, ideal for protecting the face and head against cold winds and heavy rain. The hood can be comfortably worn over a climbing helmet, ideal for belaying in adverse weather conditions. Zipped pockets provide a secure and safe location to store essential items when out and about. It has an alpine fit which is designed to sit close to the body minimising bulk and weight without restricting your movements making it perfect for outdoor activities such as mountaineering, climbing and skiing.
