The Latok Jacket from Rab has always set the benchmark for tough and gnarly mountain shells, it has been winning prestigious industry and press awards since 2011 and now it has received a make-over. The Latok Jacket is the perfect choice for those who use and abuse their kit in the harshest conditions. Made from mid and heavy weight eVent fabric for durability, complete waterproofing and breathability it will provide years of reliable and outstanding performance. The main body is made using mid-weight nylon faced eVent with heavier duty eVent fabric on the main abrasion areas of shoulders, chest, elbows, cuffs and hips. This jacket is made to last! The main upgrade has been to the pocket configuration giving the Latok a sleeker and cleaner look with less visible zips. The zips themselves have all been upgraded to the high quality and reliable YKK Aquaguard, with the main zip being a VISLON version which is lighter and works better in freezing conditions. Pit zips are retained to provide essential extra ventilation when you are slogging hard. A full list of the pocket configuration is shown below. Rab have also retained their brilliant hood design, which I personally think is one of the best available. It is completely helmet compatible, fully adjustable and has a proper wired peak; however it is still comfortable and useable when you are not wearing a lid.

The Rab Bergen Jacket is just like a VW Golf, its pretty much all the jacket youll need. It may not be the most technically advanced, it may not be the most exciting to look at and it may not allude to Alpine peaks and pioneering first ascents; but it does do what it is designed to do very well. The Bergen is cut longer to keep your bum and top of your thighs dry, so whilst you may not be able to wear a harness comfortably, you will be well protected when yomping across the mountains in horizontal rain. The body of the Bergen is made from mid weight Event and the shoulders and arms feature a heavier fabric to combat abrasion and provide durability, so whilst it may not be super light, it will last for years and cope with carrying a pack. The Event fabric used is a a totally waterproof and highly breathable membrane offering high performance at sensible prices. Our personal experience shows that it is just as waterproof as and breathable as the new Gore-Tex Pro fabrics. Rab are the masters of hood design, they are not so big that your head just wallows around in it, they cinch down without obscuring your vision and they have a wired peak so it doesn’t flop down over your eyes. Youd be amazed how many technical jackets are let down by poor hood design, but not with the Rab Bergen, in my humble opinion it has the best hood design of any jacket currently available. So if you are looking for a reliable and great performing water proof shell for mountain walking and trekking, look no further. Constructed from mid weight and heavy weight Event fabric Articulated elbows Protective head compatible hood with wired peak, volume adjustment and tab down feature YKK Aquaguard zipped A line hand pockets Two way YKK Vislon main zip with double storm flap and rain drain Internal mesh pocket Laminated Velcro cuffs Adjustable waist and hem drawcords Relaxed fit
Just so that you know, the AR in the Theta AR stands for all-round, which pretty much means it is suitable for just about every mountain activity.

Couple this brilliant new fabric with a design perfected for mountain activities and you may well have the best mountain jacket in the world! Use it as your general mountain shell as it is fully waterproof and highly breathable. Or for all of you who love a bit of alpine winter fun; it sheds snow just as well as it sheds water, its breathable, light weight and durable. Pop it in you pack and bring out it when needed. Going into more detail; the Theta AR Jacket is made from two different types of Nylon faced Gore-Tex Pro, N40r-X and N80p-X. Arcteryx have used the light and supple N40r-X nylon rip-stop fabric throughout the body to maximise comfort and breathability, this is then reinforced by N80p-X plain weave nylon on the shoulders, arms, seat and hips to protect these critical areas from abrasion. The Theta AR has a mid-thigh length to provide extra cover making it the perfect all-rounder for outdoor activities. All seams are taped to an exceptionally high standard and drawcords use a one-hand operation. The helmet compatible DropHood, which as the name suggests, drops down flat out of the way when not required and features a high integrated collar that forms a weather tight closure when required. Pit zips enhance breathability when you are working hard and all the main zip is a WaterTight Vislon zip, the first zip to pass the Gore-Tex extreme wet weather test. All other zips are WaterTight zips but be aware that this doesnt make the pocket waterproof only highly water resistant, so electronics and valuables should always be kept inside a a water proof bag. The over all fit is athletic with e3D patterning to allow full freedom of movement with minimal restriction and the Theta AR is cut longer for better overall protection.

The Sharp End Jacket from Black Diamond uses a lightweight 40D face fabric, this is bonded to the super durable Gore-Tex Pro ePTFE membrane, then it is backed with a woven mini-ripstop Nylon for added durability and moisture management. Designed to be lightweight and packable, yet withstand the rigours of harsh extended use in the mountains. Then being made from Gore-Tex and having fully taped seams it is 100% water proof and highly breathable. BD have used the new Cohaesive cordlock technology for sleek, fully integrated, one handed operated cord management system. Designed to work when you need them and then to disappear when you dont. These are found in the usual places; in the hood, hem and collar. The Hood is adjustable and helmet compatible, the YKK Aquaguard centre and chest pockets zips keep out the water. There is a brushed microsuede collar lining for next to skin comfort, and large pit zips for extra ventilation.

Made using 3 Layer Gore-Tex Pro 40D in the main body and hood, then the super burly 3 Layer Gore-Tex Pro 80D in the high wear areas such as shoulders, arms and hips. The face fabric is made up of twisted Nylon yarns maintaining its tough, durable properties but allows the fabric to be more supple and not so stiff. The guys at M.E. have used all of their Storm Construction techniques during the design and build of the jacket. Everything form seam construction, placements and taping; which face fabrics to use, bar tack reinforcement and storm guarded YKK Aquaguard zips. Fort Knox Federal Gold Reserve has nothing on this jacket when it comes to keeping things out. It is built around Mountain Equipment’s “Mountain Fit” block so it has that little bit of extra room to allow for other layers. The sleeves are pre-shaped and articulated to allow for more natural unrestricted movement. The Mountain HC Hood works with for short periods and great without a helmet so it’s a win win. If you need a snow skirt the awesome it has one of those too, but if you don’t need one the cool thing is you can just unzip it and take it out. The Dual Tether Hem Drawcord allows for greater fit customisation whilst also eliminating the risk of snagging things like ice axes and crampons.

The Vanir Salopette has been designed for technical mountain use and gives you all the features you need to remain comfortable and protected in the most severe conditions. These are the sort of salopettes that you put on at the start of the day and only take off when you are safely off the mountain. Polartec NeoShell fabric provides waterproof and highly breathable performance with added stretch to make them extremely comfortable to wear for extended periods. The face fabric is a densely woven flat finish high grade nylon that gives the Vanir superb durability. The high front bib features vertical twin chest pockets and fully adjustable and removable braces with electro plated steel buckles for strength and corrosion resistance. The back of the bib is cut lower and made of mesh fabric for increased breathability, especially when carrying a pack. An integral waist belt helps to cinch in any excess fabric and improves insulation when its really nasty outside. The Vanir has an athletic fit, they are narrower in the legs, to avoid excess fabric and maximise performance. Diamond crotch patterning and articulated knees improve mobility and the knees are reinforced to protect this vulnerable area. Jottnar have decided to avoid full length zips as they can form a bulky uncomfortable area at the waist, especially when wearing a harness. The YKK Aquaguard ¾ zips used have two way zippers to provide ventilation. The internal snow gaiter is fully removable if you want to use the Vanir for less extreme duties, and is fitted with elastic grippers and a lace hook. An external Kevlar reinforced instep reduces crampon damage and wear. A thoroughly brilliant pair of mountain salopettes, well designed and uncompromising in quality and function.

Made from super breathable Polartec NoeShell fabric, this jacket is ideal for the fast moving, highly active mountain goer.

The Bergelmir from Jottnar is a streamlined, uncluttered and beautifully designed mountain shell. Made using the finest fabrics and totally uncompromising in its pursuit of ultimate performance. Polartec stretch NeoShell delivers total waterproofing, true breathable performance and unrestricted movement. This really is a shell that you can put on, and keep on throughout the day no matter what the weather throws at you. Think of it as a lightweight waterproof stretchy softshell. The first thing we noticed when we put on the Bergelmir is how quiet the fabric is compared to Gore-Tex Pro jackets, you can put up the hood, rotate your head and still hear whats going on, perfect for climbing when you need to hear your partner. While we are on the subject of hoods, the one on the Bergelmir is just about perfect. Now I have been accused of being a bit of a hood pedant, but I cant stand overly massive hoods that dont fit your head and flop around your eyes. The Bergelmir hood is fully helmet compatible yet still fits snugly when lidless, it has a wired and stiffened peak that keeps its shape and offers superb visibility. If you are not using the hood, but still have the zip fully up there is good face protection from the high neck line and all adjuster cords are routed internally to avoid whipping you in the face. Pockets are set high on the chest to avoid interfering with a harness and are big enough to take a folded OS map. A laminated internal pocket securely holds a phone or GPS. And thats about it as far as features go, pretty much everything you need and nothing you dont. But what really sets the Bergelmir apart from the crowds is the sublime attention to detail and the fantastic fit, close and snug around the hips yet with plenty of maneuverability through the shoulders and arms. This jacket has been made with a strict end users design brief and definitely not to fill a marketing slot!

The Keb uses the brilliant G1000 fabric, a mixture of 65% polyester and 35% cotton on the main wear areas of chest, outer arms, hips and seat and a lightweight four way stretch softshell fabric across the back, shoulders and inner arms to provide complete freedom of movement. The whole lower part of the jacket has very few seams and a clean flat design so that it is comfortable under a rucksack hip belt or climbing harness. To increase the versatility of this brilliant jacket the G1000 fabric can be impregnated with Fjallraven Greenland Wax to improve water resistance. Twin vertical chest pockets provide essential storage and are covered with the four way stretch fabric to allow them to expand for bulkier items and are lined with G1000 to protect the chest from cold wind. Each pocket has a small stretchy inner pocket for phones, GPS, compass etc. Side zips allow increased ventilation and also access to inner layer pockets. The full G1000 hood is a work of art. It is large enough to go over a climbing helmet yet will cinch down to be head compatible. When the hood is down and the zip fully up the large stiffened brim can be folded down to form a stable high collar to protect the neck and lower face. With the hood up you can keep the brim folded back for enhanced peripheral vision or fold it out to create a highly protective cone in extreme conditions. The Keb jacket is extremely comfortable to wear and is is very quiet thanks to the soft yet durable fabrics.

The Kamchatka Salopette comes with lock, stock and barrel. Mountain Equipment have injected all of their engineering expertise in constructing a full spec set of salopettes that perform exceptionally well; when the line between steep backcountry skiing and mountaineering become blurred, just reach for your pair of super technical Kamchatkas. Made from 3-layer Gore-Tex Pro 40D fabric and 80D fabric reinforcements; as well as being super durable, like a typical Goer-Tex Fabric, they keep all the wind, rain and snow from getting in. Windstopper X-fast 230 have been inserted in the lower back area for its full windproof yet highly breathable qualities just to stop you from getting too warm and moist. As I said to you earlier, M.E. has pulled out all the stops, so to show off they have used their Storm Construction techniques; everything from seam placing, construction and taping, to face fabrics, bar tack reinforcement and zips. These salopettes are basically impregnable. They have been fabricated around M.E.’s Active Fit block, this is the closest fitting cut that M.E. do. But because you will most likely be wearing big clumpy boot and ski boots they have increased the lower leg volume for you. The braces are fully adjustable and they have installed a drop rear seat (crap flap), so you don’t have to de-rig when nature calls. There is a pocket specially allocated for your avalanche transceiver for when you are out in the back country. Then on the flip side, if you aren’t using these in the winter snowy condition and are just using them as an over trouser then you have to option to zip off the internal snow gaiter.
