Mammut Chalten Jacket  © Mammut

Hard Shell jacket made from an intelligent membrane that adjusts its breathability to the ambient temperature. Pores open during high temperatures allowing more moisture to escape to the outside, while waterproofness remains at the same level. Lower temperatures cause the pores to close again and increase the insulation.

  • Intelligent c_change™ technology which adjusts its breathability to match the ambient temperature. In cold temperatures insulation increases, while in warm conditions more moisture is transported away from the body
  • New tailored hood construction, can be adjusted vertically or horizontally, helmet-compatible, with reinforced shield. Can be rolled down as a collar
  • 2 spray-proof front pockets
  • 1 arm pocket
