Mountain Equipment Shelterstone Women's Jacket

The Shelterstone Women's Jacket is essential for climbers, backpackers, and hill walkers seeking warmth and protection. Synthetic insulation ensures comfort during breaks and provides critical backup when the weather takes a turn. Unlike down, synthetic insulation excels in cold, wet conditions, keeping you warm without compromise.

This jacket balances protection and flexibility, perfect for climbing and mountaineering in challenging weather. Wear it over a shell, as a standalone outer layer, or as a cosy mid-layer when moving at a slower pace.

Crafted with DRILITE® LOFT outer fabric, it’s windproof and water-resistant, effortlessly shedding snow and drying quickly. The POLARLOFT® synthetic insulation offers consistent warmth, even after being packed away, maintaining loft in wet, freezing conditions when your gear needs to perform at its best.

Features

• The DRILITE® Loft outer fabric is windproof, breathable, and water-resistant, providing dependable protection and comfort in varying mountain weather.
• The POLARLOFT® insulation is entirely recycled, offering lasting warmth and softness, even when damp.
• The Mountain Women's Insulated fit is carefully graded to allow the jacket to be worn comfortably over multiple layers when needed.
