What is the Nevado Jacket?

It's a lightweight, technical Gore-Tex® jacket, designed and developed to withstand challenging conditions and long alpine adventures. The Nevado's minimal design has been tried and tested by Tierra's very own team of professional mountain guides, ensuring it provides ultimate performance and protection for a variety of activities such as skiing, snowboarding and alpinism.

What is it made of?

The main fabric used to build the Nevado is 100% polyamide with Gore-Tex® 3L (three-layer) laminate and Gore-Tex® C-Knit Backer Technology.

It is extremely durable yet lightweight to suit alpine activities where you'll be counting every gram of weight.

Gore-Tex® technology provides maximum waterproof protection without hindering the overall breathability of the jacket, so when working up a sweat, it'll help regulate your temperature and stop moisture from building up inside.

The C-Knit Backer technology gives the interior a smooth, soft texture that feels fantastic against the skin. It adds extra durability for reinforcement and will help to keep you comfortable for long, difficult days in the mountains.

What are its features?

The jacket has a helmet compatible hood that is fully adjustable, allowing you to tailor it to the size and shape of your head or helmet, should you be wearing one.

The Nevado is fastened with a two-way zipper that works fantastically when wearing a climbing harness. It allows you to unzip from the bottom for easier access and offers better accommodation when roped up. Alternatively, you can use it to ventilate for instant relief.

In terms of storage, two large hand pockets provide easy access to small essentials such as a GPS device, hand warmers or energy gels. There's also a large alpine chest pocket for bulkier belongings.

An internal pocket provides additional security for mobile phones, while an internal ski pass pocket does exactly what it says on the tin, so to speak, both of which you can access from the outside for added convenience! You'll also find internal skin pockets that double up nicely as a stow-away pouch for your beanie hat.

Large pit zips provide maximum ventilation for when you need to quickly dump heat, without removing the jacket entirely.

The zips are so big that you could even poke your arms out when unfastened. Velcro both empty sleeves together using the small tabs on the cuffs, throw the loop around the back of your neck and you're left with a functional Gore-Tex® gilet that keeps your core warm, but offers more exposure for cooling - this is ideal for those who can never seem to find the right temperature. What's more, you wouldn't even have to stop to remove your backpack or take off your harness; it's a handy trick for ski touring and glacier travel when functionality, breathability and time management is key.

Finally, you can adjust cuffs and the hem of the jacket easily to optimise the fit around your layering system and increase heat retention for colder climates.
