Questions & Answers
Hi how warm are these jackets please?
Asked by: Vicjimba
This is an outer shell jacket (designed to keep rain, wind & snow out) It has no insulation so is not warm in itself. It is designed to be worn with layers, so you would wear a combination of base & mid layers underneath to provide warmth.

Awesome Jacket. Weather proof and durable!Super happy with this Jacket. I have been using the jacket for both mountaineering/hiking and skiing. Its light durable and handles the rain and wind well. Kathmandu has made a big step up with the XT range. I have the XT Alopex pants too which are my personal favourite of the series!

Great jacket but ... fragileI bought this primarily to use on a ski trip. I really wanted to love it. The jacket performed (features etc) well but is very thin and fragile for the price. As a result it received some small cuts from brushing up against objects during standard activities. This was during a 6 day trip. This stopped it from being water proof.
I would not recommend the jacket for adventurous activities. It would be good for walking in in the rain but for the price I was expecting a lot more. Particularly when you compare the quality to competitors.

Very impressedHappy with the quality and features, but could be cut a little longer as it tends to ride up when wearing with a heavy pack.

Exactly what I was looking for.That's the piece of outdoor clothing that had been missing in my wardrobe. Great to wear, easy to pack and to take care of. Wind and waterproof and looking good, on top of everything.

Keeps the rain out!Great buy, excellent features, light weight and tough. Sizing is a bit small - I bought a large, my usual fit. Gets tight with a thick jumper underneath. Totally gnarly otherwise!

Great design, even greater performance!I bought this jacket as an investment into my future mountaineering dreams, and it has already paid its worth back tenfold. It kept absolutely everything out on my way up to the Ruapehu Ice Plateau, including immense amounts of snow, wind, and other environmental conditions. It kept me warm and dry, and gave me a feeling of reassurance in such a dangerous environment with the RECCO technology incorporated within the design. It even worked wonders when having a bit of fun on the way down, with the snow skirt keeping everything out whilst we bum slid part of the way down the ski slopes to the lodge.
I rate this jacket so highly because not only is it the ultimate alpine/hiking jacket, but it also fits into my daily life with being an awesome everyday jacket, as it has easily accessible pockets all over the show (4 exterior main pockets!!!), which allow me to keep my hands warm even without gloves, whilst keeping my wallet and devices safely on my chest.
This jacket, in my opinion, fills so many niches in my outdoor lifestyle that it has become the ultimate jacket which is ready for anything that life can throw at it.
