Mountain Equipment Womens Bastion Jacket Indigo/Iris/Molten Red

Lightweight insulation. Weather protection. Effortless free-ranging movement. All in one cutting-edge mountain jacket. In cold, damp and snowy conditions, you can streamline your layering system by combining various elements. Put simply, if you won't need to change your clothes, you can wear one garment which does everything: the Women's Bastion Jacket. Although designed to meet the needs of the lightweight alpinist, anyone who is active in the outdoors can take advantage of the comfort and protection offered by the Bastion. The shell is engineered in Gore Windstopper Active Shell, which blocks the wind as well as shedding snow and all but the worst rain, while offering stunning levels of breathability. This reassuring weatherproof armour houses 80g Polarloft insulation, to strike the balance perfectly between weight and warmth. Whether on committing ice-routes or cold weather hikes, you need clothing which delivers more than just the best in weather protection: you need to be able to move freely, without restriction or discomfort. The Bastion boasts an excellent hood which protects while allowing your head to turn, Gore's legendary breathability to maintain comfort throughout your exertions, and an active cut and articulated sleeves - enhanced by panels of Windstopper Fast-X stretch fabric - to make sure you can all but forget you're wearing a jacket at all! Generous pockets provide quick access to essentials, an internal security pocket keeps your valuables safe and dual-tether hem drawcords prevent trailing loops getting caught on high-stepping crampon points. A stunning, versatile, single layer. Find out more about the Bastion Jacket
