The award-winning Manaslu remains our top-selling GORE-TEX Pro jacket, celebrated as a mountaineering essential that balances protection, weight, and durability with exceptional precision.

Its versatility is the key to its enduring appeal. Whether you're navigating rain-soaked trails, icy gullies, or Alpine peaks, the Manaslu serves as a dependable shelter. Lightweight enough to pack away but rugged enough to rely on when conditions turn harsh, it’s a trusted companion far from the safety of the valley floor.

Constructed with GORE-TEX Pro, the jacket features a tough 80-denier face fabric on the shoulders and sleeves for extra durability, paired with a lighter 40-denier fabric on the main body. This combination ensures optimal comfort, resilience, and packability for frequent mountain adventures.

Designed with an Alpine fit, the Manaslu minimizes excess fabric while providing complete freedom of movement and ample space for layering throughout the year. The highly regarded Mountain HC Hood offers outstanding protection in severe weather, easily accommodating a climbing helmet and adjusting seamlessly to any situation.

Thoughtfully designed features include large, accessible pockets, robust molded YKK zippers, and laminated cuffs that fit comfortably over gloves, keeping out the harshest elements.

Patterning & Design

• Using our classic ‘Alpine Fit’ for complete freedom of movement without excess fabric
• The Manaslu is sized on the assumption that at some point you may need to wear a baselayer, lightweight fleece and other mid-layers underneath it, so worn over just a tee-shirt in summer it may feel a little generous. That said, most people find this ‘true to size’ no matter when or with what they use it, but if you are of slight build and intend to wear only thin layers underneath it then you may need to consider dropping down a size
