MONT AUSTRAL RAIN JACKET Mens

Want a serious rain jacket for bushwalking? The Austral has been extensively used by Bogong staff in places like SW Tasmania and New Zealand and is a perfect garment for these types of places. It has been our most popular hiking jacket for some time.

The Austral is a traditional, all-purpose 3/4 length bushwalking jacket. Tough enough for the harshest scrub yet supple enough to look and feel comfortable around town.

Tried and tested. The Austral is a traditional, all-purpose mid-thigh length bushwalking rain jacket that is equally practical as an around town or travel jacket.

Featuring a three piece storm hood with multi point adjustments, a triple storm flap system to protect the front zip from down pours and a waist draw-cord adjustment that is neatly concealed away in the lower front pockets reducing potential snag points.

Tested in the worst imaginable conditions, the mid-weight Hydronaute 3 layer fabric offers outstanding breathability and waterproofness while being durable enough to withstand the long-term use of heavy backpacks. Hydronaute fabric also has high pin-hole resistance making it an ideal choice for bushwalking.
