The Makalu Jacket from Mountain Equipment is a classic piece – a protective, waterproof shell jacket made using GORE-TEX® material.

Built using a three-layer construction and GORE-TEX® face fabric, this is the ideal waterproof jacket for hiking, mountaineering, and anything in between. The Makalu has a helmet-compatible, fully adjustable hood that you can adjust to sit snug around your head when you're not wearing protective gear. It also has two generous hand pockets and a chest pocket in the front, both with YKK® water-resistant zippers to always keep essentials dry and to hand. The jacket also features adjustable, laminated cuffs, dual tether hem drawcords that won't catch on poles or ice axes, and a two-way, YKK®, moulded centre-front zip to seal out the elements.

The Makalu offers complete waterproof and windproof protection, with ample breathability to prevent sweat and condensation from building up inside, helping regulate body temperature. Designed with an 'Alpine Fit', the Makalu has enough room to accommodate a baselayer and a low profile mid-layer underneath. When you're working hard and need to dump excess heat quickly, you'll appreciate the easy-to-use two-way YKK® pit zips under each arm. Toggles used throughout the jacket are also big enough to use with chunky gloves or numb fingers when the weather's a little nippy. Look no further than the Makalu as your ultimate waterproof jacket for outdoor expeditions.
