Mountain Equipment Saltoro Jacket

rated 4 of 5 stars
photo: Mountain Equipment Saltoro Jacket waterproof jacket

Lightweight, breathable, adequate ventilation, affordable, annoying zippers.

Pros

  • Lightweight
  • Breathable
  • Adequate ventilation
  • Affordable

Cons

  • Heat dump zippers are difficult to control, could be bigger

Beautiful jacket, the Gore-tex is not too crinkly, is quite breathable, and is very lightweight. Mine weighs around 12 ounces, size medium.

The only complaint is the pit zips are a bit difficult to open and close. Also they are relatively small, which for a backpacking designed jacket should be more. 

Background

Winter Adirondack hiking and backpacking
