Quechua MH500 jacket

After such a long time away from the UK’S wilds, you may want to head out on a hike around somewhere wild such as the Lake District’s craggy peaks or the barren beauty of the Cairngorms. You’ll need to be prepared for any kind of weather, and the Quechua MH500 walking jacket will be your trusty friend when the heavens open. Dreamt up at the foot of Mont Blanc, it was designed specifically with the fiercest mountain storms in mind and its triple-layer membrane protects you from the heaviest downpours and the strongest winds. Whatever the weather (and you’re bound to get a mix, even in the height of the British summer), you’ll work up a sweat on your hike but the jacket’s 29cm-long side openings and wicking technology ensures maximum breathability. The compressible Quechua MH500’S feather-like weight (only 538g) not only means it takes up hardly any space in your backpack but it’s also contributed to the jacket’s eco-friendliness. Along with fewer raw materials being used in its creation, its lighter size has led to a reduction of 31% in CO2 emissions during the manufacturing process when compared to its predecessor. In short, the Quechua MH500 is the perfect partner for your next staycation.
