A fully adjustable hood is compatible with a climbing helmet giving this jacket a versatile edge on others as well as a wired peak keeping you well protected. It is on the heavy side though, at 477g (size M), and doesn't feel as cool and breathable as the real summer lightweights. When you want some protection from the elements, but a full shell would be overkill, a thin windproof is the obvious choice. For active summer use we've found the breathability on offer here is good, while when it does rain the DWR treatment happily resists a light shower.

You can certainly feel a cold wind through the Morphosis, but for spring/summer use it's not been enough to bother us as yet. If you are not sure about anything to do with this procedure, please feel free to contact us and we will do our best to help.

If the volume is too big you've got a toggle to reduce it and this toggle doubles as a method of hood storage (although this isn't a particularly intuitive system and will require you to take off the jacket). But the fabric and features come with a weight penalty, something we have to consider a drawback in this particular review. Close-fitting, stretchy, and very very snug, these winter-only softshell trousers are equally good for snowy hillwalks and climbing, says Dan Bailey. Given the insulation on offer here the relatively light weight, just 405g (size L), is surprising, and we'd say that Mammut have done well to keep it this low. This interesting offer from Mammut combines light wool insulation in parts of the torso with thick stretchy fleece elsewhere.

This product as a whole or the individual materials within this product have the following certification(s). We try our best to identify any issues like this and make you aware of them in the product description prior to purchase. Whilst the body mapping works with regards to durability, it doesn't really in terms of fit, with the restrictive nature of the forearms and elbows providing a real sticking point for our reviewer.All labels and swing tags are still attached to the garment, All labels and swing tags are still attached to the garment, and any boxed items are kept in the original box. Inside, the fleece is zoned only over the parts of the body that need more insulation, leaving the sides of the torso and the underside of the arms un-insulated.

However if you need something a bit warmer, for a summer Alpine trip for instance, or for UK winter, this would be the jacket to go for out of the selection on test.You get with two hand warmer pockets: mesh-lined so they can double as vents, they are also positioned above backpack belt or harness, and sized big enough to hold a folded map. Positioned high enough to access when wearing a rucksack hipbelt or a harness, these are great for storing anything you'd need in a jacket, although if you put something like a phone in there it tends to move around quite a bit while climbing. Made from a super stretchy weather resistant fabric this Fast Climb Jacket feels super comfortable next to your skin when you're making those high reach dynamic moves but has tough Kevlar fabric across the forearm for protection against the rock. The end result is a very slender cut jacket both in body and shoulders, leaving the jacket feeling quite small for its size. If you like carrying lots about your person then the fact there's two is a bonus; however the front of the jacket would have been thinner and marginally more breathable had Salewa added only one chest pocket (one biggie being enough for most summer uses we can think of).

We can accept goods back for exchange or refund or Credit, The goods need to be of re-saleable quality and all labels and relevant paperwork are present. Aside from that the rest of the jacket fits him perfectly, with barely any hem lift, a good hood, and two of the best pockets we've come across. Though its climbing credentials are clear, the Squall is light and breathable enough for sweaty active use too, making this an excellent all rounder that'd be equally welcome on a breezy Munro as a multi pitch climb. With just a light stretch on the hem and cuffs, the Aenergy doesn't allow for any tightening of the fit.Technical mountain jackets are great in their place, but if you're just out for a walk in chilly autumn or winter weather you might prefer something snug, simple and comparatively affordable. Between the long body, the stretchy fabric (more on that below) and some decent underarm tailoring, we've found arm movement is unrestricted and hem lift negligible. A light peaked brim provides some structure, though it's not rigid enough to resist flapping in strong wind. company, with headquarters at 225, Hradok 916 33, Slovakia, IČO: 52 770 222, my consent to send me information based upon the specification mentioned above, free of charge, and to process my personal information for this purpose.
