Summit Chamlang FUTURELIGHT Men’s Shell Jacket – XX-Large – Breathable Waterproof with Adjustable Hood

The Summit Chamlang FUTURELIGHT Men’s Shell Jacket is an exceptional piece of outerwear designed for serious outdoor enthusiasts. Crafted by THE NORTH FACE, this jacket is built to withstand the rigors of mountaineering while ensuring maximum comfort and mobility. The jacket comes in an XX-Large size, accommodating a range of body types and allowing for layering underneath during colder weather.

One of the standout features of this jacket is its innovative FUTURELIGHT 3L technology. Made from 100% recycled nylon, the fabric boasts a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish that keeps you dry in wet conditions. The jacket is both breathable and waterproof, ensuring that you remain comfortable regardless of the weather. With a centre back measurement of 77.47 cm, it offers a tailored fit that enhances your range of motion.

The design of the Summit Chamlang jacket includes articulated patterning, which provides an excellent fit and mobility. This is particularly important for mountaineering activities where a full range of motion is essential. Additionally, the jacket features targeted use of YKK AquaGuard FLATKNIT zips, which help to reduce bulk while increasing flexibility, making it easier to move without feeling restricted.

For those who wear helmets, the jacket comes equipped with an attached, fully adjustable hood that is compatible with most helmet types. This feature is crucial for mountaineers who need extra protection from the elements without sacrificing safety. The hood also includes a bonded brim that helps to keep rain out of your face.

Comfort is further enhanced by the absence of shoulder seams, which reduces bulk and allows for extra comfort when wearing a pack. The underarm gussets contribute to better mobility, ensuring that you can reach and extend your arms freely. The #5 YKK AquaGuard VISLON centre front zip is robust and durable, allowing for easy opening and closing of the jacket when needed.

In addition to its protective features, the Summit Chamlang jacket includes harness-compatible hand pockets with YKK AquaGuard FLATKNIT zips. These pockets are strategically placed to ensure easy access while wearing a harness, making it convenient to store essential items. There is also an internal pouch in the left pocket for additional storage.

Ventilation is key during strenuous activities, which is why this jacket has underarm vents equipped with YKK AquaGuard FLATKNIT zips. These vents allow for quick airflow, helping to regulate your body temperature when you start to heat up. The bonded cuff tabs with a hook-and-loop closure provide a snug fit around the wrists, keeping out cold air and moisture.

For added comfort, the jacket features a brushed-tricot chin guard and collar lining, which feels soft against the skin. The laser-cut perforations in the draft flap enhance breathability and comfort, ensuring that you stay comfortable even during extended wear. There is also a large internal mesh drop pocket that provides ample space for storage, keeping your belongings secure while you are on the move.

Lastly, the internal hem cinch-cord with single-point adjustment allows you to customize the fit of the jacket around your waist, sealing out cold air and ensuring a snug fit. This attention to detail makes the Summit Chamlang FUTURELIGHT Men’s Shell Jacket a must-have for any serious mountaineer or outdoor adventurer.
