Summer is on its way and as you start scouring the UKC Crag Map to choose the next routes to tick off, you should check your climbing clothing is up to scratch too. There may be sunshine ahead, but a waterproof jacket is an essential item all year round. The Berghaus MTN Guide Alpine Pro Jacket is lightweight and durable, and built for climbing, whether in the UK or farther afield.

The MTN Guide Alpine Pro is made out of 3L GORE-TEX Pro to deliver rugged protection and performance that won't weigh you down. Ergonomic design and essential features help you move with ease, whether you're scrambling up a steep slope or reaching for the next hold halfway up an exposed face. The adjustable and helmet compatible fixed hood, deep napoleon style chest pockets and pit zips allow for extended use in variable conditions, and you can easily stow away this versatile shell when the sun shines.

There's also some reflective detailing, for safety and improved visibility on the mountain in poor conditions, or when your long day's climb extends into the night. The jacket weighs just 410g for a men's in large and 385g for a women's in size 12.
