Kangri Gore-Tex Paclite Plus Jacket

Updated for this season with a recycled outer fabric, the Kangri GTX is a robust and reliable hardshell built with 70D 3-Layer Gore‑Tex. Designed with the avid all-weather adventurer in mind, the Kangri GTX is ideal for hillwalking, hiking, trekking and mountain scrambles.

 

Windproof and breathable, the Kangri GTX will keep you dry in the most severe downpours and provide protection from howling winds.

An elasticated hem and drawcord waist allow you to adjust the fit and seal in the heat when the temperature plummets.

It can be cinched around the face to avoid flapping, has a laminated wired peak that provides great coverage and a fleece lined chin guard which eliminates friction. In poor conditions the hem and hood can be quickly adjusted with one hand. The jacket has a two-way YKK® AquaGuard® VISLON® ® front zip with an internal storm flap, two rucksack friendly hand pockets and an internal secure zipped pocket perfect for a phone or GPS.

Latok Gore-Tex Paclite Plus Jacket

The ultimate packable shell for climbers, mountaineers, and alpinists, the ultralight Latok Paclite Plus provides durable waterproof protection during unexpected downpours. The recycled Gore‑Tex Paclite® Plus fabric will keep you dry through sleet, storms or showers, but can be easily compressed in a pack, making it an ideal backup for a range of mountain adventures.

 

The helmet-compatible hood features a stiffened peak to keep the elements away from your face, and can be easily adjusted with a single hand pull to ensure a secure fit.
