Mountain Equipment Saltoro GORE-TEX Women's Jacket

This GORE-TEX waterproof shell offers indispensable protection for anyone venturing into mountainous terrain on treks or backpacking expeditions. It ensures the wearer remains dry and equipped for sudden shifts in weather.

Lightweight and easily stowed for unexpected downpours, yet durable enough for consistent, day-long use, the Saltoro serves as a dependable waterproof and windproof outer layer. It is particularly suited to those who enjoy trekking, backpacking, or hill walking, and require a jacket that performs in ever-changing mountain conditions.

Engineered using advanced GORE-TEX with ePE membrane and a tough 75D outer fabric, the Saltoro combines comfort with hard-wearing protection. Its precisely tailored Alpine fit and ergonomically pre-shaped sleeves reduce bulk while preserving full freedom of movement—ideal for tackling technical routes with assurance.

The fully adjustable Mountain Hood, designed to accommodate a helmet, offers effective shelter from driving rain. Additional details such as a dropped rear hem, laminated adjustable cuffs, and dual tether hem drawcords enhance the jacket’s protective capabilities, helping to seal out moisture and refine the fit. A YKK® moulded AquaGuard® centre zip, complete with an internal storm flap, bolsters weather resistance, while zipped underarm vents aid breathability during intense climbs or humid spells.

Two generous zipped pockets offer ample space for storing maps or other vital items. Whether kept as a precaution in shifting conditions or worn consistently through bad weather, the Saltoro remains a go-to choice for outdoor enthusiasts who won’t settle for less when it comes to reliable protection.
