The Mountain Equipment Mission Jacket is made from  Exolite 275 double weave Soft Shell fabric, making it warm & stretchy. The Active Fit cut, articulated sleeves & the stretchiness of the  Exolite means the jacket moves with you without feeling restrictive. As it is made out of a Soft Shell fabric it is super breathable, making it an ideal jacket for active winter sports such as ski-touring & mountaineering; although it would look pretty good in the pub beer garden too. The Mountain HC Hood isn’t made for extended helmet use but it does accommodate a helmet at a squeeze if you need it to, adding to this jackets ovberall versatility. Then for added ventilation M.E. have popped in some pit-zips for when you get a bit too warm & need to cool off quickly.

The Mission Pant is a perfect example of a hybrid construction, making use of M.E.’s proprietary Exolite Soft Shell fabric for the main body of the pant for its stretchy & durable double weave make up. Then the use of the PTFE membraned Windstopper Soft Shell fabric in the knees & seat provide not only 100% windproof-ness in these areas, but because they have a PTFE they are basically “waterproof”. I can’t say that they are waterproof because the seams haven’t been taped, & it Windstopper is designed to be windproof not waterproof; however if wind can’t get through you’d be hard pushed to force water through. These beastly mountain pants are stretchy enough for those big moves & waterproof panels in the seat & knees for when you need to sit or use your knees. Great for winter mountaineering, ice climbing, or a damp day on the hills. Nice & close fitting to reduce bulk thanks to M.E.’s Alpine fit but roomy enough with a regular fit ankle to allow room for you big mountain boots. Then just to make sure they stay in place during big moves Mountain Equipment have popped on a lace hook to stop the legs from rising too high. If you are getting a bit toasty in your brand new Soft Shell pants then you can just un-zip the thigh vest for greater air flow, & the reinforced kick-strips resist tear & abrasion from skis & crampons. Want a pair? I know I do. EXOLITE 275 stretch double weave Soft Shell fabric WINDSTOPPER® Soft Shell fabric in seat & knees Alpine fit with regular fit ankle 2 zipped hand pockets & 1 thigh pocket 2 zipped thigh vents with integrated mesh lining Integrated belt with double press-stud waist closure Ankle zips with internal gusset panel to accommodate all mountain boots Reinforced kick-strips for ski & crampon durability Adjustable ergonomic hem with lace hooks For all you kit geeks out there, the links below will take you to Mountain Equipments Information pages where they will explain this items different fabrics & constructions techniques in greater detail.
