MONT TEMPEST BUSHWALKING JACKET

A mid-thigh length hardshell unisex jacket designed for use in driving rain, wild wind and rugged country. The Mont Tempest Jacket is a proven commodity and this latest iteration will be just as popular and highly-regarded as its predecessor.

The Mont Tempest hardshell rain jacket is made from durable 3-layer Hydronaute Pro fabric. Hydronaute Pro is designed specifically for use with heavy hiking packs and multi-day walks. As a 3-layer material it is durable, totally windproof, extremely breathable and incredible waterproof.

Double storm flaps, with Prym press studs, protect a durable #8 YKK zip with double sliders. Underneath the zip is a laminated flap for further protection from potential moisture penetration.

Side entry hand-warmer pockets and top entry cargo pockets at the waist, combined with a YKK AquaGuard zip chest pocket, offer ample space for a map, compass, snack and cold hands in icy weather.

A classic full length rain jacket The Mont Tempest offers excellent protection from the elements. If you are going to be out in the worst weather for days on end a Tempest is what you need.

The Mont Tempest has made the five favourite pieces of hiking gear list of Bogong owner Neil Blundy. See blog here

The Tempest is a terrific garment, which has long set the benchmark for technical rainwear made from Hydronaute Pro and now with an improved hood. Make the Tempest your trusty companion when next you venture into the wilderness. The arms are cut long to keep your hands warm and dry as is the jacket.
