Functional hardshell touring jacket for alpinists

Lightweight, technical, wind and waterproof jacket for alpine activities

Highlights

  • Wind and waterproof thanks to a high-performance Dermizax® NX membrane 
  • Fit specially adapted to the requirements of high-alpine terrain
  • Extremely lightweight and breathable
  • Small pack size

Lightweight performance – from the valleys to the summits: Our WESTALPEN 3L LIGHT alpine touring jacket for men has been developed for demanding mountaineers who are looking for the perfect symbiosis of lightness, protection and functionality. The new jacket and pants in the 3L WESTALPEN LIGHT outfit can be packed up small and are very versatile.

A Dermizax® NX 3-layer construction protects against extreme weather while the technical design focuses completely upon the needs of alpinists in the high mountains.  Thanks to the extra-high-performance DERMIZAX® NX membrane, the outer material is completely wind and waterproof without compromising on breathability or freedom of movement.

The high-performance fit of the WESTALPEN 3L LIGHT alpine touring jacket for men will sit ideally no matter what movement you make in ice, snow or on mixed terrain. With additional features such as extra-large front pockets, a high collar and a helmet-compatible, two-way adjustable hood with horizontal and vertical adjustment options, this lightweight 3L hardshell will provide alpinists with everything they need. Mesh lining in the front pockets improves air circulation. 120 MERINO TEC inserts ensure the jacket is comfortable in the neck and chin area.

Extrem leichte Jacke die allen Witterungen trotzt, dadurch habe ich sie immer im Rucksack mit dabei. Extremely light jacket that can withstand all weather conditions, so I always have it with me in my backpack.

Ich war mit der Jacke letztes Jahr auf dem Mont Blanc. Tolle technische Jacke. Mit Abstand das Beste, was ich bisher getragen. Die Passform ist perfekt und sieht auch noch mega aus. I wore this jacket last year on Mont Blanc. Great technical jacket. By far the best I've ever worn. The fit is perfect and it looks great too.

This shell is not substantial enough to withstand serious winter wind. I have been wearing it skiing this spring and found the material weight and hand to be more than adequate for warmer weather. The length works well with a pack or harness. All in all a simple, light, flexible shell that packs easily and wears comfortably.

Die Jacke passt gut zum Design, sie ist modern, bequem, mit großen Taschen. Anfangs ist alles zugelassen, doch nach ein paar Monaten macht sich Abnutzung bemerkbar, vor allem bei der Verwendung mit einem Rucksack wird es durchlässig, bleibt aber bis zum Schluss atmungsaktiv. Leider sind die Nähte, auch die heißversiegelten, von schlechter Qualität und nach 2 Jahren Nutzung sind sie kaputt und die Klettbänder an den Handgelenken haben viel von ihrer Klebekraft verloren und werden unangenehm, da sie an anderen Oberflächen kleben. Fazit: Wenn Sie diese Jacke ständig in den Bergen verwenden, hält sie nicht viel länger als 2 Jahre, bis Sie sie erneuern müssen. Im Gegensatz zu anderen wasserdichten Jacken halten die de Media 5 Jahre, bis sie getragen bzw. getragen werden. The jacket fits well with the design, it is modern, comfortable, with large pockets. At first everything is acceptable, but after a few months it shows signs of wear, especially when used with a backpack, it becomes permeable, but remains breathable until the end. Unfortunately, the seams, even the heat-sealed ones, are of poor quality and after 2 years of use they are broken and the velcro on the wrists have lost much of their adhesiveness and become uncomfortable because they stick to other surfaces. Conclusion: If you use this jacket constantly in the mountains, it will not last much more than 2 years before you have to replace it. Unlike other waterproof jackets, the de Media last 5 years before being worn or worn.

Super Jacke. Ist bei mir und meiner Freundin immer im Rucksack, egal welche Sportart. Leicht, kleines Packmaß, super funktional. Gute gegen Regen und Wind. Absolut zu empfehlen. Great jacket. My girlfriend and I always have it in our backpack, no matter what sport we're doing. Light, small pack size, super functional. Good protection against rain and wind. Highly recommended.
