Built for the Worst Weather — Mountain Equipment Shigri Jacket

The Mountain Equipment Shigri Jacket delivers dependable, all-day protection in the harshest mountain conditions. Whether you're mountaineering in winter or tackling long trekking routes in unpredictable weather, this GORE-TEX mountaineering jacket is engineered for performance, comfort, and durability.

Designed to stand up to demanding terrain and sudden weather shifts, it combines a rugged construction with thoughtful design features. At 500g, it's impressively lightweight for a durable mountain shell, offering full waterproofing and breathability without compromising on protection or movement.

Proven Waterproof Protection with GORE-TEX

At the heart of this jacket is 3-layer GORE-TEX ePE fabric; a next-generation membrane that's waterproof, windproof, and highly breathable. Combined with a tough 80-denier face fabric and a soft C-Knit™ backer, it gives the jacket a supple feel while staying incredibly hard-wearing.

This PFAS-free waterproof jacket also features a durable water-repellent finish without harmful chemicals, supporting more sustainable performance gear.

With a hydrostatic head of 28,000mm and RET below 13, this shell is ready for anything from blizzards to driving rain. Taped seams and storm construction throughout block out water at every angle, while underarm pit zips add extra ventilation when you’re working hard on steep ascents.

Designed for All-Day Comfort in Harsh Conditions

The updated Mountain Fit offers more room than typical Alpine-cut shells. With articulated sleeves and extra space at the waist and hem, it’s easy to layer underneath without restricting movement. Whether you're adding a down jacket or just a fleece, this men's winter trekking jacket moves with you, not against you.

With it's improved comfort, the Shigri doesn’t feel stiff or boxy. Its slightly relaxed fit is tailored to real mountain use, giving you the freedom to climb, hike, and scramble without excess fabric flapping or riding up.

A Shell That Works With You, Not Against You

The helmet-compatible hood is fully adjustable and built to provide reliable coverage in brutal conditions. It features a laminated and wired visor that holds its shape in strong winds, even when you're wearing goggles or glasses. Rear and front volume adjusters help tailor the fit exactly to your setup, with internal Cohaesive® cord locks for fast, glove-friendly adjustment.

Two large external hand pockets sit above a harness or hipbelt and feature YKK AquaGuard® zips, stormflaps, and drainage channels. A secure internal pocket provides safe storage for your essentials like maps, phones, or GPS devices.
