What is the Roc GTX Jacket?
This four-season mountain jacket is made from super tough stuff, keeping you as comfortable as can be during some of your most challenging adventures. Classic Gore-Tex® fabric offers the best protection from wind and rain, making it a trustworthy piece for technical outdoor wear.
What is it made of?
The Roc GTX is constructed using 3-layer 75D Gore-Tex® fabric, providing full waterproof and windproof coverage.
Haglöfs have taken the time to source sustainable materials to design this Bluesign® approved jacket, including 100% Recycled Polyester, which is durable yet really lightweight - providing a functional layer of protection with less bulk and improved breathability than other technical fabrics. A 75D plain weave face is laminated to an ePTFE membrane and a solution-dyed tricot backer.
The durable water repellent treatment (DWR) on the jacket is free of PFCEC (PFC's of environmental concern) - chemicals known to harm the environment, making it an excellent option for mountaineers who are more sustainability focused.
What are its features?
Alongside the waterproof Gore-Tex® layer, this jacket is fully adjustable, with Velcro adjustments around the cuffs, hood and hem, to achieve the most accurate, comfortable fit, allowing you to work alongside the rest of your equipment.
The hood is climbing helmet compatible, meaning it has extra room for a helmet underneath if you're climbing or tackling some via-ferrata routes. It has a built-in laminated peak for extra shielding around the face from the rain, handy for exposed routes and pesky torrential downpours in the hills. At the bottom of the hood's front is a brushed chin guard which offers a little extra comfort if you have the jacket zipped all the way up, reducing chafing when next to the skin from long periods.
The jacket has articulated sleeves that offer a more natural shape around the arms, providing better mobility around the upper body for tackling tricky scrambles or steep inclines.
Mid-mounted hand pockets allow easy access to personal belongings, such as a GPS device, snacks and energy gels, alongside providing your mitts with a little extra warmth if you need it. The pockets are finished with sturdy zip fastenings for extra security.
Being a Bluesign® approved product indicates that the production of this jacket does not use substances harmful to the environment, and ethically considers the effects it has on the consumer and workers involved in the product's lifespan and manufacture.
How does it fit?
The Haglöfs Roc GTX Jacket comes in a regular fit, which offers a little extra room for improved manoeuvrability and freedom of movement. However, the jacket has adjustable strings to allow you to customise the overall shape of the garment.
Where does it fit in the layering system?
This jacket has been designed as an outer shell layer, to offer protection from challenging weather conditions when out in the mountains.
