Men's Waterproof Jackets and Windproofs
We live in a small country surrounded by water so we're well used to rain, wind, sunshine and showers. All in one day.
Stay warm, dry and protected from the buffeting elements whether trail running fast & light, on multi-day trips or Scottish winter mountaineering.
Men's Waterproof Jackets and Windproofs
Your outer-layer is your first defence against the elements. Our waterproof clothing protects in all weathers and is highly waterproof and highly breathable for an active outdoor life.
Choose responsibly, it's a lifelong decision
All our waterproofs are free from PFC's so you don't leave a trail of persistent chemicals and made with no-compromise recycled materials by factories with high social and environmental standards. When cared for they are durable to last a lifetime.
Why we don't use GORE-TEX, Event or Sympatex
A common question is why we don't use component brands like Goretex. Technical performance fabrics are our competitive strength. All our waterproofs are highly breathable and highly waterproof and comparable with the very best. We wouldn't put Alpkit on it if it wasn't.
We develop our fabrics with the best mills in the world. Our independence means we are free to develop genuinely innovative waterproof fabrics with high social and environmental standards that are long lasting and no-compromise performance. We were one of the first brands to develop PFC-free mountaineering jacket like the Definition and a PFC-free ultra lightweight trail running jacket like the Gravitas.
Technical. Ethical. Sustainable.
We use our 20 years of technical expertise in mountain fabrics to develop our own exclusive fabrics with world class performance characteristics. All our waterproofs are highly waterproof, highly breathable and completely PFC-free.
We're one of a few outdoor brands in the world to be completely PFC-free. It's a matter of principle. We look after what is important and don't harm the places we love.
Mountaineering and Alpinism
Scottish winters, alpine ascents. Gear up for big mountain days with our flagship waterproofs. Definition is our flagship waterproof with uncompromising performance to keep you warm, dry and protected in some of the world's harshest environment
Hillwalking
For Britains fells and summits, our hillwalking jackets keep you protected and in comfort in all weathers.
Balance is our multi-activity perfomance waterproof for hillwalking, climbing and scrambling. Fortitude is our fully featured hillwalking waterproof with a longer cut (to cover your butt). Sigma is a 3-layer waterproof to give exceptional performance for the price. Argonaut is a 2.5-layer waterproof. But don't doubt its serious performance characteristics.
