Mountain Equipment's Saltoro Gore-Tex Jacket is a well designed and executed waterproof jacket thanks to its hybrid construction. The fully adjustable hood, cuffs and hem allows you to get the perfect fit and the underarm pit zips allows for extra venting.
Mountain Equipment says
A lightweight and protective waterproof shell with hybrid GORE-TEX construction for trekking and backpacking in the mountains.
GORE-TEX 75D and GORE-TEX PACLITE® fabric are combined to give a lightweight, comfortable shell that retains the durability required for regular use with a pack. Our Women’s Alpine fit is completely unrestrictive for all day use and the proven Mountain HC Hood is a reliable refuge in the worst weather.
Our Verdict
Mountain Equipment's Women's Saltoro Gore-Tex Jacket is a durable and packable waterproof with the Gore-Tex seal of quality. The subtle hybrid construction uses 3 layer 75 Denier in areas of greater wear like the shoulders, with lightweight 2.5 layer Paclite elsewhere.
The hood is fully adjustable with a stiffened peak that helps to keep the rain off your face. A simple velcro adjustment on the cuffs enables you to cinch in the sleeves as required and the drawcord hem allows you to cinch the jacket in to keep out those cold drafts. The pit zips are a handy added feature as it gives you the choice of extra venting if needed.
