What is the Alto Guide HS Hooded Jacket?
It's the perfect hardshell for mountain guides and general outdoor enthusiasts who want to take it up a gear and get stuck into some gnarly adventures. The Alto Guide HS provides fantastic waterproof protection and durability for mountaineering, climbing, and scrambling as well as more leisurely outdoor pursuits.
What is it made of?
This jacket comprises Mammut's very own DRYTechnoloy™ Pro made of 100% polyamide for lightweight durability. Mammut DRYTechnology™ Pro provides windproof and waterproof protection with a minimum Hydrostatic Head of 20,000mm.
The polyamide membrane is based on natural raw materials, earning its bluesign® approved status that ensures it's safe for consumers, the environment and the workers involved in producing it.
Mammut also works with FairWear to ensure safe, ethical working conditions in their factories, helping to protect workers' rights and being considerate and sustainable with their processes.
What are the features?
This jacket has a helmet compatible hood with a reinforced peak to help draw away the rain from your face. The hood also has a three-point adjustment system to optimise the fit around various head shapes and sizes.
Sleeves are pre-shaped and have hook and loop fasteners to adjust the fit around the cuffs, ideal if you're wearing chunky mitts or gloves.
There are water repellent zippers under the arms for ventilation. Each zip has a chunky pull that is easy to grab, so you don't have to completely remove the jacket to undo them, offering a steadier way to dump heat without getting cold too quickly.
The front is also fastened with a water repellent two-way zipper that allows you to undo the zip from the bottom upwards and keep the top together, making climbing harnesses much more accessible.
Speaking of harnesses, the two pockets at the front of the jacket are harness compatible, perfect for storing a route map, GPS device or essential energy gels to keep you fuelled throughout the day.
There's also a chest pocket with a concealed zipper for more valuable items like keys, a mobile phone or some emergency cash.
At the bottom of the jacket, you can adjust the hem with the easy-to-use drawstring adjuster to pull in the material for heat retention or extra weather resistance.
