Mountain Equipment Saltoro Jacket - Black - Rain Jackets XXL

A fantastic waterproof, not ultralight but seems to be pretty bullet proof and keeps the elements out in the worse of conditions like driving rain and sleet. Reasonably good breathability with the right base and mid layers and great fit make it a comfortable workhorse for all day trekking or mountaineering. Great hood.

Great jacket, awesome cut colours and fit,works just as the label says…hood is exceptional with helmet,mtb or climbing,fits brilliant enough said

Extremely well made, durable and high quality material. The hood is especially nice in the way that it can be adjusted for size (bear head, hat, or helmet). Purchase experience excellent as well.

Love it, wish I bought this to start with. I find an alpine style jacket more comfortable than an old school longer NZ bush jacket.This jacket is is a great balance between weight and durability. Loads of pockets, hight quality and probably the best value for money gortex brand that I found. Especially when on special.

This is a replacement for a Rupal well past its sell by date.Great jackets. My go to as waterproof/windproof all seasons....Excellent in snow!!

Great Jacket!

I have had the jacket for about 1 month. It is well built, lightweight and keeps me dry in the rain. The front zipper is "backward" compared to most American jacket zippers. (The slide is on the left). It takes some getting used to but it is a solid zipper and slide. It has an athletic fit, on the slim side. I am 5'10" 185 lbs and the large fits perfectly. I am very happy with the purchase and the brand.

So far so good! Firstly great customer service from Epicentre. I called and spoke to one guy about the jacket who gave excellent advice and had good product knowledge. I bought both Small and Medium as I wasn't certain which would fit best. It was so easy to send the one I didn't keep back. As far as the jacket is, very nice, super fit and keeps the wind out so far. I haven't yet worn it up mountains/hills and walking far but look forward to doing that soon!

Overall, I have not been impressed with this jacket. Ive owned various Mountain Equipment jackets for well over 20 years now, including Alpine fit jackets, and have always found them excellent and an awesome fit. However, I was really disappointed with the fit of the Makalu. I'm not sure its actually designed for humans at all TBF.The body is incredibly slim, with little room for any layering, and is also quite long. The arms are about 9ft long and quite baggy, with the arm holes coming out somewhere around your neck. The cut under the arms is way too tight, which makes the pit zips kink, creating pockets for water to sit and potentially enter the jacket.I'm surprised that a jacket created in classic Goretex has such an uncomfortable and overly technical fit, and ... MoreOverall, I have not been impressed with this jacket.
