The multi-award-winning Mountain Equipment Lhotse Jacket has evolved this season to represent the best possible blend of function, weight and durability.
Whatever the weather, the Lhotse provides unstinting protection. The Polyamide outer is paired with a 40D 3L GORE-TEX pro membrane system with a unique micro-structure to provide comfort and unstinting reliable weather protection, even during extended activities in extreme weather. This construction also keeps your body dry by reducing the accumulation of sweat, keeping you cool during fast-moving activities and warm when cooling down. With added durable 80D reinforcement panels, this jacket will withstand abrasion and prolong the overall life of the garment.
Tailored to be close-fitting yet still able to accommodate layers, the Alpine fit focuses its shaping between the waist and shoulders to help remove 'bagging' when lent over but effectively distribute the fabric between the front chest, rear shoulder and bicep to provide comfort and a wide range of movement.
Storm construction throughout the garment works together to keep you protected in extreme environments. The location of each and every seam is thought out in advance to remove them from key points of wear and abrasion, where this is not possible an additional 22mm, compared to 13mm, tape reinforcement is used.
The fully adjustable Mountain HC hood features Cohesive cord-locks and easily accommodates a helmet so you don't have to compromise on protection. Laminated and bonded 2-way YKK water-resistant underarm pit zips allow you to cool down when working hard, even when it is raining hard.
The Stratum Storage System allows the front Napoleon pocket to be 25% larger and accommodate maps, gloves or accessories. Additionally, two large hand pockets with YKK AquaGuard zips are placed for use with a harness and a laminated, laser-cut inner zipped pocket keeps your precious belongings safe.
Two-way YKK moulded AquaGuard front zip enables you to climb and belay, and the fully adjustable, laminated cuffs and dual tether hem drawcords keep out the weather while providing you with the perfect fit.
