What is the Nordwand Advanced HS Hooded Jacket?
It's a burly hardshell jacket built for advanced alpine trips and mountaineering adventures in challenging locations. The Nordwand Advanced HS offers a perfect balance of weather protection, technical performance and pack volume to suit multi-day excursions and mountain expeditions.
What is it made of?
The jacket is made with strong 30D nylon Gore-Tex® Pro with 'Most Breathable' technology.
Nylon can easily withstand bumps and scrapes from rugged terrain and jagged rocks without compromising weight, performance and packability.
Gore-Tex® Pro offers exceptional waterproof protection for optimum defence against the elements. With the built-in 'Most Breathable' technology, it's of course also highly breathable to help regulate temperature when you're working hard.
What are its features?
The hood of this jacket is helmet compatible, making it easy to add a climbing helmet underneath when you're on the ropes. It has a reinforced peak at the top to offer extra protection against rain, helping draw it away from your face, and a three-point adjustment system to optimise the fit according to your activities, layering system, head or helmet shape, and size.
The hem is also adjustable. Both adjustments use one-hand cords with CHOAESIVE® stoppers for easy, precise adjustment, even when you're wearing gloves or have numb fingers!
The built-in chin protector uses a soft microfleece that feels lovely against the skin, helping prevent rubbing or chafing when the zip is fully fastened and material is resting against the face.
The front fastening uses a chunky YKK® Vislon two-way zip which allows you to undo the jacket from the bottom for extra ventilation or to make a climbing harness more accessible.
Speaking of climbing harnesses, there are two harness- and backpack-compatible front pockets for essentials like snacks, energy gels or a GPS device. These pockets have cross-over access making it easier to get in and out, and are fastened with water repellent zippers for added weather resistance. There's also an internal zippered chest pocket for smaller valuables like keys, a mobile phone or emergency cash.
Underarm pit zips provide an effective way to dump some heat without opening the front of the jacket - ideal for exposed routes where the weather and wind may be harsher. Like the other zips, these are also water repellent for added protection.
Cuffs are glove compatible and adjustable. They use a high-quality Hypalon hook and loop system, which is easy to use and allows you to get an accurate fit every time.
Finally, the construction uses Mammut's very own High Reach Technology™ to promote unrestricted freedom of movement when climbing. It helps to stop the jacket from rising up and exposing skin if you're stretching out.
