READ: MOUNTAIN EQUIPMENT PRO GEAR GUIDE
Mountain Equipment waterproof jackets like the Makalu use a 3-layer Gore-Tex ePE membrane with a PFC-free DWR finish, holding up in sustained British rain rather than just showers. Drilite, Mountain Equipment's own fabric, does a similar job at lower weight and lets down jackets like the Lightline loft properly for warmth without waterlogging in damp conditions.
One thing to note is that jackets and trousers use an alpine cut, built to layer up without restricting movement on a scramble or a steep ascent, with women's-specific fits across jackets, trousers, and sleeping bags. Sleeping bags carry Good Night's Sleep temperature ratings, covering everything from three-season camping to expedition use, in both down and synthetic fill.
Shop Mountain Equipment jackets, fleeces, trousers, and sleeping bags built by climbers, for the conditions climbers actually face.
