Mountain Equipment Saltoro Gore-Tex Men's Jacket

This GORE-TEX waterproof shell offers indispensable protection for those venturing into the mountains for trekking or backpacking. It ensures the wearer remains dry and ready for whatever the weather may bring.

Lightweight and compact enough to be stowed for emergencies, yet tough and dependable for prolonged wear, the Saltoro serves as the perfect waterproof and windproof layer for walkers, trekkers, and backpackers alike. It is purpose-built to perform in changeable mountain climates.

Crafted from the latest generation GORE-TEX fabric with an ePE membrane and a hard-wearing 75D outer layer, the Saltoro delivers reliable waterproof comfort, even during extended use while carrying a pack. Its precisely tailored Alpine fit, along with articulated, pre-formed sleeves, reduces excess fabric without hindering movement, enabling confident travel across more technical routes.

The fully adjustable Mountain Hood, designed to accommodate a helmet, offers steadfast protection in driving rain. Additional refinements such as a dropped rear hem, laminated adjustable cuffs, and twin hem drawcords serve to improve fit and enhance weather resistance. The central YKK® moulded Aquaguard® zip, reinforced by an internal storm flap, offers further defence against persistent rainfall, while zipped underarm vents assist with moisture control during strenuous climbs or humid weather.

Two generously sized, zipped pockets provide ample space for maps and other key items. Whether worn continuously in challenging weather or kept packed as a precaution against changing conditions, the Saltoro is a must-have for any mountain traveller unwilling to compromise on weather protection.
