At high altitude, it's better to have a jacket that breathes during the ascent and protects against the wind at the summit. This page brings together the mountaineering jackets from the Black Friday, for women, men and unisex. Compare the fits, materials and colours to choose the layer that complements your gear.
This page brings together technical hoodies, jackets, and softshells designed for the mountains. It is part of the climbing section, along with the rest of the gear.
The selection features many technical hoodies, with a smaller number of jackets. The fits vary: women's, men's, and unisex. Use the type filter to distinguish between the hoodie and the jacket.
Make sure to try the jacket on with a harness underneath: the back length, pockets, and belt passage matter just as much as the size on the label.
A breathable jacket helps during the climb without making you sweat. A more windproof layer provides protection during stops and in exposed areas. Opt for a size that allows room for an underlayer.
On a long approach, a breathable layer prevents you from getting soaked in sweat. At belays, a more enclosed jacket keeps the warmth in. Think about the three-layer system: a base layer, an insulating layer, and then a windproof layer.
On a one-day outing, a single jacket is often enough. For several days at altitude, two layers of different weights allow you to adapt to wind and effort, without carrying a whole wardrobe.
The selection highlights La Sportiva, followed by Karpos, Salewa, VAUDE, and Wild Country. The product descriptions detail the material, hood, and pockets: compare them before choosing.
La Sportiva makes up the bulk of the selection. Karpos, Salewa, VAUDE, and Wild Country complement it with different cuts. Compare the specs for the material, pockets, and hood.
Check the length of the sleeves and back in the specs: a longer cut provides better coverage for your lower back when you raise your arms.
Pair your jacket with a climbing pant, a helmet, shoes, and climbing gear for technical outings.
A mountaineering jacket is used with durable pants, a helmet in exposed terrain, and gloves for belays. Make sure the sleeves remain long enough to cover your wrists when you raise your arms.
The winter sports sales, winter sports clearance, and climbing sales complement the selection.
For winter outings, warmer jackets can also be found in the winter sports section. Compare the material, hood, and weight, then choose the layer that packs best in your bag.
Start here, and then check the winter sports sales.
A breathable and lightweight jacket is suitable for both uses. Read the specs for the material.
Choose large enough to slide a layer underneath, but not so large that it floats around.
Yes, women's, men's, and unisex cuts are separated by a filter.
