The Mountain Equipment Makalu Men's Jacket is a versatile, waterproof GORE-TEX jacket designed for hiking and mountaineering. Crafted from 75-denier breathable GORE-TEX ePE fabric, it strikes the perfect balance between durability, comfort and weight. This jacket is tough enough to endure rugged mountain terrain, heavy loads and harsh weather, yet supple enough to pack easily and provide all-day comfort.

The Mountain Equipment Makalu Men's Jacket is a top choice for year-round mountaineers, climbers and hikers, combining all-day comfort with robust protection against extreme wet weather. Whether you're facing sudden storms or enduring hours of relentless winter rain, this jacket offers reliable protection during long mountain days and severe weather conditions. The jacket features a roomy, fully adjustable, helmet-compatible hood with a peaked design that ensures a secure fit even in strong winds. Its Alpine Fit minimises excess fabric, preventing flapping or bunching while allowing dynamic movement—perfect for activities like coiling ropes, shouldering packs, or using axes.
