Mountain Equipment Kongur MRT GORE-TEX® Jacket

A specialised and ultra-protective jacket that has established itself as the definitive choice with Mountain Rescue Teams.

Customised through detailed feedback from professional and volunteer rescue teams, the MRT is the standard by which others are judged. Totally protective, extensively reinforced, and highly visible for those forced into the most hostile conditions.

Features

Materials

• The jacket is crafted from GORE-TEX Pro fabric, which is waterproof, windproof and breathable, and comes with a guarantee to keep the wearer dry.
• Exceptionally durable fabrics have been applied throughout the jacket to resist abrasion, while the lighter main body fabric ensures the jacket remains flexible and comfortable during wear.
• The main fabric used is 100D GORE-TEX Pro (159gsm), featuring a waterproof, breathable 3-layer construction treated with Gore DWR. It boasts a hydrostatic head of 28,000mm and a RET value of less than 7.
• Reinforced sections use 150D GORE-TEX Pro (175gsm), also with a 3-layer waterproof and breathable construction and Gore DWR finish, matching the same HH and RET performance.
• Fully taped seams across the garment serve to block water ingress.
• The inner lining uses a solution-dyed backer, offering improved sustainability.

Patterning & Design

• The Mountain Fit incorporates articulated and pre-shaped sleeves, allowing for unrestricted movement while offering ample room to layer up for winter conditions.
• A longer body length design enhances protection against severe weather conditions.
• The Kongur MRT follows the brand’s Mountain Fit, meaning it features a slightly more generous cut, particularly around the waist and hem.
• Added length offers increased coverage, making it ideal for layering in colder climates. Due to the robust fabrics and roomy fit, it may feel slightly oversized if worn with only light base layers.
• Reflective detailing has been included on the pocket flaps, hem, hood, shoulders and sleeves, improving visibility in low light or adverse weather.
• Underarm pit zips by YKK® with a water-resistant finish allow the wearer to regulate airflow and ventilation as needed.
• Built with Storm Construction – the highest level of weatherproof build offered – this design delivers top-tier resistance and durability.

Hood Configuration

• The Super Alpine Helmet Compatible Hood is tailored for extended use with a helmet, but it also provides outstanding coverage and comfort without one.
• It features full adjustability, including a rear volume adjuster and two adjusters at the front.
• High modulus elastics have been incorporated to minimise flapping of the drawcords.
• A laminated and wired hood visor keeps the field of view clear, even in strong winds or when wearing glasses or goggles.
• Rear adjustment cords are neatly channelled internally.
• The face panel is seamless and finished with the outer shell fabric for added comfort.
• Cohaesive® cord locks and cord tunnels are located internally for streamlined adjustment.
• Silicone strips on the inside provide secure grip on helmets.
• A rollaway tab allows the hood to be stowed when not in use.

Pocket Configuration

• Two external hand pockets with YKK® AquaGuard® zips feature outer and inner stormflaps, drainage channels, and zip garages. They are positioned for accessibility while carrying a backpack or wearing a climbing harness, and are spacious enough for gloves or other essentials.
• Two outer chest pockets, also equipped with YKK® AquaGuard® zips, include similar protective features and are large enough to hold a map, GPS device or other gear.
• The pockets are fully laminated for a clean and robust construction.
• Inside, a single YKK® zipped security pocket provides safe storage for small valuables.
• The Stratum pocket design boosts the internal volume for enhanced carrying capacity.

Centre Front Zip

• The jacket features a full-length, two-way YKK® AquaGuard® front zip, shielded by a double external stormflap and a top internal stormflap for maximum protection.
• A press stud fastening at the hem helps to keep the zip securely in place and prevents it from riding up.

Cuffs & Sleeves Configuration

• The cuffs are both adjustable and bonded for durability and precision fitting.
• Cuff pull tabs are reinforced with bar tacks to increase longevity.

Waist & Hem Construction

• Internal dual tether drawcords at the hem offer a secure and customisable fit.
• The hem is bonded for a clean, finished look and added durability.

Further Features

• This jacket is built to withstand the test of time and is supported by the brand’s Product Lifetime Guarantee.
• It has been both designed and developed in the United Kingdom, with manufacturing taking place in Ukraine.
• The main fabric is produced by W. L. Gore & Associates in China.
