Mountain Equipment Changabang Waterproof Jacket:
State of the art is given a whole new meaning, as this light weight, incredibly hard wearing jacket proves year after year, with every feature designed to be pushed to extremes.
Gore-Tex 3 Layer Pro Shell is relatively new on the market and is extremely breathable as well as lightweight and durable. They say never judge a book by its cover, with waterproofs it's a necessity; the Mountain Equipment Ascendor face fabric will live up to the most uncompromising judge and out-live their punishment on the hill.
The centralised pockets won't get in the way of your harness, and with four of them there's more than enough space to compartmentalise and access in a hurry. The built in under arm pit zips unzip to reveal a neatly concealed vent just over the hottest part of your body that will cool you down when you need it.
The Active cut and articulated sleeves makes it a great multi-sport jacket, but where this shell really shines is on the mountain: removable snow skirt, single arm pocket for your GPS, RECCO or ski pass, award-winning fully adjustable helmet compatible hood, perfect for when you need to get the better of that ledge-route haven't got time to worry about your shell's performance.
The Changabang is in short, whatever you need it to be. Whether that's a reliable waterproof for stuffing into your rucksack for a trekking holiday in Nepal, something for a rainy summer mountain biking around Mont Blanc, or trudging up the North Face of the Ben, the Changabang has it all.
