Mountain Equipment Tupilak Men's GORE-TEX Jacket

The Tupilak Jacket, born from the harsh Scottish winters, is a simple yet highly protective design. It is now a standard for those climbing hard ice and mixed routes in the worst weather. Equally effective on big faces worldwide, it's been used for everything from cutting-edge Himalayan ascents to Alaskan challenges and Alpine classics. Weighing just 500g in size, even weight-conscious climbers favour it for its extra reassurance and durability on remote peaks.

The jacket's GORE-TEX Pro and 80-denier face fabric provide the abrasion resistance needed for mixed climbing and the flexibility for challenging moves and multi-day routes.

Tailored in an Alpine fit, it allows unrestricted movement without excess fabric. Perhaps the Super Alpine Hood makes the Tupilak the top choice for climbers and alpinists, offering exceptional protection and visibility over a helmet. Its seamless face panel shields from freezing winds and spin drift while remaining comfortable.

Two large chest pockets sit above the harness for easy access to essentials, and the cuffs fit over gloves to seal out snow and rain when needed.
