Mountain Equipment Nanda GORE-TEX Pro Jacket Women's - Alpine Fit, 28,000mm Waterproof, Helmet-Compatible Hood

With a waterproof rating exceeding 28,000mm and breathability below RET 6, the Mountain Equipment Nanda GORE-TEX Pro Jacket delivers uncompromising protection for alpine climbing and mountaineering. The 40D GORE-TEX Pro face fabric is reinforced with 80D panels in high-wear zones, ensuring durability without excess weight. A PFC-free DWR treatment sheds moisture while the fully taped seams and YKK AquaGuard zippers seal out the elements. The Super Alpine Hood fits over a helmet, and the high collar with brushed tricot lining adds comfort in harsh conditions. Dual tether hem adjusters and adjustable laminated cuffs allow a precise, secure fit over layers.

Overview

Engineered for women who demand reliable performance in the mountains, the Nanda Jacket uses GORE-TEX Pro 3-layer construction to balance protection and breathability. The Alpine Fit is tailored for movement, with articulated sleeves and a two-way front zip for harness compatibility. Two large chest pockets sit clear of a pack or harness, while an internal zipped pocket keeps essentials safe. The jacket is fully featured for technical ascents, from the helmet-compatible hood to the laminated cuffs that seal out spindrift.
