GORE-TEX® PRO 80D Construction
The Mountain Equipment Tupilak Men’s Jacket uses 3-layer GORE-TEX® PRO 80D fabric throughout. This robust shell construction is designed for demanding alpine and winter climbing where durable protection is essential.
Super Alpine HC Hood
The Super Alpine HC Hood provides a dedicated climbing-focused design and features Cohaesive™ cordlocks for adjustment. This allows the hood to be secured and adjusted as conditions and layering change.
Alpine Fit and Articulated Sleeves
The Alpine fit is shaped specifically for active mountain use. Articulated and pre-shaped sleeves provide a natural range of movement, making the jacket suitable for technical climbing where unrestricted arm movement is essential.
Seamless Face Panel
A seamless face panel is incorporated to enhance comfort around the front of the jacket. This streamlined construction complements the technical design while reducing potential discomfort in an area frequently exposed to movement and equipment.
Storm Construction and AquaGuard® Front Zip
Storm Construction techniques are used throughout the jacket. The centre front features a 2-way YKK® moulded AquaGuard® zip, providing practical access and a functional closure for demanding alpine use.
Napoleon Chest Pockets
Two large Napoleon chest pockets provide accessible storage for essential items. Their laser-cut and laminated construction keeps the pocket design streamlined, while YKK® moulded AquaGuard® zips provide secure closure.
Adjustable Cuffs and Hem
The laminated cuffs can be adjusted for a secure fit around the wrists. Dual tether hem drawcords allow the lower edge of the jacket to be adjusted according to fit and layering requirements.
Internal Storage
A laminated and laser-cut inner pocket with a YKK® zip provides additional secure storage inside the jacket while maintaining the clean, technical construction.
