A waterproof and breathable hardshell jacket
The Makalu Jacket from Sherpa is named after the world’s fifth highest mountain and has everything you would expect of a high-quality waterproof jacket. The triple-layered material is waterproof and windproof, yet very breathable. Thanks to a high hydrostatic head and breathability properties, it is suitable for particularly active use. Plus, if you get too hot in the jacket, you can open the water-repellent underarm zips for a quick cool down.
Functional features and lots of storage space
Some other great features include; the hood, which is fully adjustable, helmet-compatible and protects your head from the elements. Meanwhile, the hem and cuffs can also be adjusted to find your perfect fit, wonderfully sealing off the jacket. It also features two zipped front pockets and a zipped chest pocket to provide a safe place for your essentials. So, if you're looking for a high-quality waterproof jacket for challenging outdoor adventures, then you have struck lucky with the Makalu Jacket.

The jacket is very good, its lightweight, Even though its considered HardShell - the shell is softer than you would expect but holds water very well and has great wind resistant abilities. The venting zips are quite long and easy to be opened and accessed. The jacket is very well sewn together, seems to be sturdy and robust even thought I consider it light, it has beautiful details and color, used materials are really high standard.
Overall it´s high quality jacket you can rely on in bad conditions.
The only disadvantages I found are that the size S (which I usually wear) was tight around armpits so I had to order M which suits me great. I recommend ordering a bigger size than you normally wear.
The second disadvantage is the pocket zipper and main zipper are sometimes hard to operate and have a bit higher resistance then usuall, but I guess it´s because they are waterresistant as well. However venting zip under armits are very smooth and easy to operate.
