Take to the great outdoors in this comfortable, high-performance jacket. Combining the flexibility required for all-day comfort and easy packability with the robustness to protect in extremely wet weather, the Makalu is one of Mountain Equipment's most popular waterproof jackets for year-round mountaineers, climbers and walkers - offering protection during high-mileage mountain days and severe weather.
Constructed from an updated GORE-TEX with ePE membrane and FC-free DWR finish, the Makalu Jacket is highly protective and shields you from poor, wet weather and is highly breathable to provide optimum comfort across a range of hiking and climbing conditions. This breathable garment works to keep you cool by allowing a constant supply of fresh air while providing moisture-wicking properties to prevent the growth of sweat and moisture, keeping you dry. Working alongside this is a 3-layer construction with 75D face fabric, enhancing the durability of the jacket. The jacket includes a Mountain HC Hood, which is fully adjustable to keep you protected from the constantly changing weather when traversing the mountains. The hood is also helmet-compatible, with full adjustability to provide the best fit and feel. Designed with a women's Alpine Fit, the garment minimises excess fabric to avoid flapping or bunching without feeling restricted, whilst articulated pre-shaped sleeves allow you to move comfortably and freely. The garment has multiple storage options, providing space to stash essentials quickly, including two large pockets with YKK water-resistant zips, a Napoleon chest pocket with YKK water-resistant zips and a laminated, laser-cut inner pocket with YKK zip. The adjustable hem drawcords and laminated cuffs help accommodate layering and seal out driving rain while providing complete protection during extremely wet weather. Large pit zips also allow you to regulate temperature and manage the build-up of moisture during strenuous uphill legs or in humid conditions.
