Salewa Men's Puez GTX 3L Epe Waterproof Hardshell Jacket Black Size L

Lightweight alpine protection reaches a new benchmark with the Salewa Puez GTX 3L Epe Jacket. Its GORE-TEX® PACLITE® PLUS 3-layer construction weighs just 390 g in size L, yet delivers a 28,000 mm water column and RET < 6 m²Pa/W breathability—a combination that keeps you dry from both rain and sweat during high-output ascents. Unlike conventional hardshells that force a trade-off between durability and ventilation, this jacket balances both with a PFC-free DWR finish and a soft, rustle-free face fabric.

Highlights

• GORE-TEX® PACLITE® PLUS 3L fabric: 100% polyester, 115 g/sqm, PFC-free DWR finish
• Fully taped seams and waterproof YKK zippers for complete storm protection
• Athletic fit with pre-shaped storm hood, one-hand adjustment, and stiffened visor
• Underarm ventilation zippers for rapid heat dumping on steep climbs
• Adjustable Velcro cuffs and elastic hem system seal out drafts
• Two zippered hand pockets positioned for harness compatibility

In daily use

On alpine treks and demanding hikes, the Puez GTX 3L Epe moves with you. The athletic cut reduces bulk under a pack, while the storm hood accommodates a climbing helmet and cinches down for clear peripheral vision. When the trail steepens, open the pit zips to regulate temperature without breaking stride. The soft, rustle-free face fabric keeps noise low, and the PFC-free DWR sheds light precipitation even before the membrane engages.
