Full Description
The Mountain Equipment Women’s Saltoro Jacket is built for the committed trekker or backpacker who demands durable, lightweight protection in unpredictable mountain conditions. Designed with GORE-TEX 75D fabric featuring an environmentally responsible ePE membrane and PFAS-free DWR, it offers reliable waterproofing and breathability for multi-day expeditions. With a robust 3-layer construction and a carefully tailored Alpine fit, the Saltoro allows full freedom of movement over long distances and technical terrain. Articulated, pre-shaped sleeves enhance comfort and efficiency during active use, while the minimalist design reduces weight and bulk in your pack. Whether you're pushing through remote valleys or navigating stormy ridgelines, this jacket offers dependable protection with a sustainable edge.
GORE-TEX is now a totally PFC free waterproof membrane designed by Gore to be more sustainable and cut out harmful long chain 'forever chemicals' found in normal PTFE waterproof membranes. The ePE membrane is a thinner than older GORE-TEX and GORE-TEX PRO, which results in a softer and more supple feel. It doesn't have the same stiff 'cardboardy' feel as older Gore membranes. The biggest performance difference you are most likely to notice is the DWR treatment. Unfortunately flurocarbons are some of the best, most hydrophobic chemicals out there. Getting rid of them does hit performance so you will notice that the nice 'beading' effect disappears quite quickly. Don't worry your GORE-TEX jacket is still waterproof, but to maintain the beading effect you will need to top up the DWR more regularly.
Built to perform in the harshest weather, the Saltoro Jacket comes equipped with a fully adjustable Mountain HC Hood that provides exceptional coverage without compromising visibility. A 2-way YKK® moulded AquaGuard centre front zip with an internal storm flap ensures water stays out, while core venting zips help regulate temperature on the move. Two large, water-resistant zipped hand pockets offer essential storage for maps or gloves, even when wearing a harness or pack. Additional features include laminated, adjustable cuffs and dual-tether hem drawcords for a secure, custom fit in driving rain or high winds. At just 500g, the Saltoro strikes the perfect balance between durability, weight, and performance for serious mountain adventures.
