A cutting edge, all-in-one mountain jacket combining insulation, protection and mobility in one streamlined package.
In more predictable conditions, various elements of the layering system can be combined, saving weight and bulk. In other words, if you're less likely to add or remove a layer, you can wear one garment that does everything: the Bastion Jacket from Mountain Equipment.
Although aimed squarely at alpinists - who can expect low temperatures, icy winds and snow - the Bastion provides warmth and weatherproofing for anyone who is active in the outdoors. Gore Windstopper Active Shell technology provides a reassuring barrier against the weather, while insulation comes from 80g Polarloft, striking the balance perfectly between weight and warmth.
From desperate mixed routes and steep powder descents, to Scottish scrambles and cold weather hikes, when you're moving through a harsh environment you need more than just weather protection: you need to know you can move without restriction or discomfort. The Bastion Jacket uses Windstopper Fast-X inserts to add stretch in key areas, combined with an active cut and articulated sleeves to allow unhindered movement, and Gore's legendary breathability ensures comfort is maintained when you're working hard.
Generous pockets provide quick access to your essentials, an internal security pocket keeps your valuables safe and dual-tether hem drawcords prevent trailing loops getting caught on high-stepping crampon points.
A stunning, versatile, single layer.
