Mountain Equipment Rupal women's jacket, imperial red/crimson

If you take the RUPAL WOMEN'S JACKET in your hand, you will immediately realize how strong the jacket looks. It is made of a three-layer GORE-TEX ^® membrane with a thickness of 75D. This high number means a really durable material that you can rely on for a long time. Along with a helmet hood, two pockets, underarm ventilation and a two-way zipper, this is a very versatile hardshell jacket that will serve you for many years. This model is popular both for demanding hikers and climbers. It is a real universal.

• 3-layer GORE-TEX ^® 75D.
• Mountain HC hood – helmet-compatible hood adjustable and fully adjustable for wearing without a helmet.
• Alpine Fit – cut suitable for ski mountaineering and other demanding activities where freedom of movement is required. Pre-shaped sleeves.
• 2 large pockets with YKK ^® WR zippers.
• 1 inner pocket – laser cut, laminated, YKK ^® zipper.
• Two-way YKK ^® Aquaguard® central zipper.
• Two-way YKK ^® WR zippers in the armpits for ventilation.
• Tapered sleeve ends with velcro fastening.
• Adjusting the circumference of the lower hem with a string. Separate cord for pulling the front and back parts, so that there is no danger of getting caught in the carabiner when you attach it to the material eye of the seat harness.

Durable three-layer GORE-TEX ^® 75D membrane
A very practical, technically cut and extremely durable jacket. That's exactly how RUPAL WOMEN'S JACKET could be described in one sentence. GORE-TEX ^® thickness 75 D is a sufficient guarantee for everyone even in really demanding conditions.

The RUPAL WOMEN'S JACKET is completely waterproof. It is a porous type GORE-TEX ^® membrane. One such pore is twenty thousand times smaller than a water molecule and therefore only allows water vapor molecules to pass through. So the sweat vapor gets out, but the water drops don't get inside. Thanks to this, the membrane is highly breathable and waterproof at the same time.

Discreet but thoughtful design
There are situations when it is impossible to do without a hood. Especially when it's windy or raining. The RUPAL WOMEN'S JACKET hardshell jacket has a Mountain HC Hood type that is compatible with a climbing helmet. It is equipped with a reinforced peak and the hood can be adjusted so that it fits perfectly even without a helmet. The drawstrings of the hood are sewn into the channels so that they don't bother you in the wind.

You will also appreciate two large pockets with waterproof YKK ^® zippers, which can easily fit gloves, a camera, snacks or anything you want to have immediately at hand.

The cuffs of the sleeves are slanted, so they fit perfectly regardless of movements and at the same time protect against snow, wind and rain much better than straight cuts.

The most perfect seams
Small details make a big difference. Mountain Equipment hardshell jackets are sewn using smooth seams. You won't see any threads on the outside of the jacket. A jacket sewn in this way will last much longer, because the seam threads do not rub against the backpack, rock and other objects. Thanks to this, the absorption of moisture into the seam threads is also prevented, making the jacket even more resistant to getting wet. In addition, all seams are taped with waterproof tapes.

Even this sophisticated method of production is a guarantee for you that Mountain Equipment will really suffer from the quality and refinement of the products.

Waterproof YKK ^® zippers
The RUPAL WOMEN'S JACKET is fastened with a YKK ^® Aquaguard ^® two-way zipper. This is the highest model range of this renowned zipper manufacturer. Two pockets and underarm ventilation are equipped with YKK® WR zippers. Despite the fact that these are waterproof zippers, make sure that you don't leave things in your pockets that can't stand moisture in heavy rain. For example, a mobile phone. The all-over zip of the jacket is two-way and there is a patent lock at the bottom. If you put on the jacket all the way to the stand and don't want to put it under the harness, then unbutton the lower part of the jacket and fasten it with a zipper under the fastener. You will be perfectly protected, but the jacket will not hinder you when working with the rope. Why not make your stay at the stand as pleasant as possible?
