M.E.’s Arclight Jacket is their most breathable, fully weatherproof jacket out there. Made from super breathable Polartec Noe Shell fabric, this jacket is ideal for the fast moving, highly active mountain goer. Polartec Neo Shell has a hydrostatic head of 10, 000mm so it does a great job at keeping water at bay; this fabric comes into its own in the cold & rapidly changing conditions that you find on long, multi-day ski tours. The Mountain Hood is fully adjustable with a smaller cranium volume than the Mountain HC Hood. Unfortunately this mean that you can’t fit a helmet underneath, however this hood provides a more secure & precise fit, which is what this jacket is all about. Sticking with the secure & precise fit theme, Mountain Equipment has constructed this jacket around their Alpine Fit Block. This is a close fitting cut yet it still allows room for low volume layers & has been built with manoeuvrability in mind. M.E. have used a new shoulder construction & new seam placements to reduce tightness & “bagging” in one foul swoop. The guys at M.E. have used all of their Storm Construction techniques during the design & build of the jacket. Everything form seam construction, placements & taping; which face fabrics to use, bar tack reinforcement & storm guarded YKK  Aquaguard zips. Fort Knox Federal Gold Reserve has nothing on this jacket when it comes to keeping things out. POLARTEC Neo Shell® fabric; weatherproof, stretchy & exceptionally breathable Mountain Hood is fully adjustable Alpine fit with articulated & pre-shaped sleeves Storm Construction techniques used throughout 2-way YKK moulded Aquaguard centre front zip 2 large pockets with YKK® moulded Aquaguard zips 2-way YKK WR underarm pit zips with laminated & bonded entry Adjustable laminated cuffs & dual tether hem drawcords For all you kit geeks out there, the links below will take you to Mountain Equipments Information pages where they will explain this jackets different fabrics, fills & constructions techniques in greater detail.

This ultimate alpine jacket is the king of lightweight insulation. The micro baffle construction holds the WR  Down 675 from migrating, & the light weight Helium 30 fabric is super light & allows the down to fully loft; this ensures the maximum amount of tiny air pockets are created to capture your body heat while the wind resistant qualities help prevent the loss of this heat. The use of down ensures the best warmth to weight ratio & compressibility compared to any other forms of insulation. With a slightly longer cut, an adjustable Mountain HC hood & the fact it packs into its own pocket with a handy crab loop; you can stow & clip you jacket onto your harness so it‘s easy to get at & throw on when waiting around & belaying.

The Bastion Jacket from M.E. is a lightweight hooded jacket that can be thrown on to provide you with warmth & a 100% windproof barrier. This is thanks to the Gore-  Windstopper shell fabric that stops the wind from pushing out warm air trapped within the  Polarloft  Duo insulation. This brilliant jacket is probably one of the best lightweight insulated jackets around today; its warm, extremely breathable & very very weather resistant. Chuck the Bastion on over a good base layer & its pretty much all youll need for winter mountain activities & thanks to the highly breathable face fabric & insulation the Bastion works extremely well as a mid layer for extreme conditions. The  Windstopper shell fabric, apart from being rather obviously windproof, is highly water resistant, so youll only need a waterproof shell when the weather gets extremely nasty. Stretch  Windstopper panels under the arms & down the sides provide superb freedom of movement & ensure an efficient fit to maximise the insulation. The bastion is filled with a synthetic insulation called  Polarloft  Duo which is made up from a mix of hollow core & multi-channel fibre. These fibres work together regulating temperature as you move. It provides impressive moisture management which aids the removal of excess heat & moisture when you are active yet it does an amazing job of keeping you warm during rest periods. Unlike Down,   Polarloft  Duo will retain a high percentage of its warmth even when wet, & will dry out exceptionally quickly, making the Bastion Jacket absolutely perfect for UK winter conditions. The Bastion Jacket has a Mountain style Helmet Compatible (HC) Hood & has been cut to M.E. Alpine Fit block. This means the jacket has a closer fit than normal creating less dead space making it more thermally efficient, but don’t worry, you won’t feel restricted as it is fitted with a new shoulder block that allows for full range of movement relieving unwanted tension in the chest, shoulders & bicep areas. 2014 autumn/winter updates New 70g WINDSTOPPER shell fabric WINDSTOPPER 290 Soft Shell thermal inserts stretch panels aid fit during dynamic activity 80g POLARLOFT Duo insulation Mountain HC Hood is fully adjustable Alpine fit with pre-shaped & articulated sleeves Shoulder Shield construction Carry over features 2-way YKK moulded centre front zip with insulated rear baffle 2 zipped micro fleece lined hand warmer pockets Inner zipped security pocket Stretch cuffs & dual tether hem drawcords For all you kit geeks out there, the links below will take you to Mountain Equipments Information pages where they will explain this jackets different fabrics, fills & constructions techniques in greater detail.
