Combining the suppleness required for all-day comfort and easy packability with the robustness to protect in extremely wet weather, the Makalu Jacket is among our most popular waterproof jackets for year-round mountaineers, climbers and walkers. Whether pulled on in the face of building storm clouds or worn all day through relentless winter drizzle, it offers proven protection during high-milage mountain days and in severe weather.

The 75-denier breathable GORE-TEX ePE fabric hits the midweight sweet spot of durability, comfort and weight, withstanding the rigours of mountain rock, heavy packs and severe weather while being supple enough to pack well and comfortable enough to wear all day.

We offer FREE delivery on all orders over €100 (excluding overweight items*) to the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. For any order below this value, we charge a small delivery fee of €5 per delivery. Exceptions apply. Read more here.

Returns are free to our stores in Dublin Carrickmines, Dublin Blanchardstown and Cork City Centre. Read more about our return process here.
