The Devil is in the Detail - here is some of that detail
Hood shape, their hoods are rightly regarded as among the absolute best available.
Spending hours trying them on and tweaking them when worn over a midlayer's hood, over hats, over helmets, with goggles, with sunglasses, and then trying to look left, right, up and down
There's no greater challenge for a jacket's hood than leading a pitch in foul conditions with your hood up without restricting movement or vision: this is what we're thinking about
They have scoured the world for elastic cord with exactly the right level of stiffness and elasticity: saggy hood elastic that pulls halfway down your jacket and slaps you in the face just isn’t good enough
Their high modulus elastic offers improved recovery without sacrificing extensibility
The firm grip of the high modulus cord is perfect for running over the hood’s opening
However, lower modulus elastic is used in the hood's rear drawcord because it improves comfort – no one wants to feel like their head is being squashed - while maintaining adjustability
Previously found only on M.E sleeping bags, elasticating the cord lock at the back of the hood means it remains tethered while offering improved adjustability, particularly while feeding slack back into the hood
The internal facing on M.E gore-tex jackets is unique in the marketplace
Cleaner, neater, lower weight and more comfortable than other designs, its seamless design doesn’t trap moisture and doesn’t freeze up
‘Beardguards’, as found on many other jackets, might be nice in dry weather, but as soon as the rain really starts you’re left with a wet sponge rubbing against your face
Pocket gutters, even Aquaguard® zips leak.
However, with laser-cut and bonded gutters inserted behind their pocket zips, and with a cunning drainage channel at the bottom of the pocket complete with exhaust port, the’ve done everything we can to keep the contents of your pockets dry.
All of the pockets are internally seam sealed so that, even if water does enter the pocket, it can’t get through to your body.
Sensibly sized pockets
Mountain Equipment pockets are designed to work with real world objects
Gloves or a map fit in the chest or hand pockets, and (almost) any phone will fit in the internal pockets
Their internal pockets keep having to get bigger…!
Cuffs
M.E have been making waterproof jackets for as long as anyone and know practically every way that they are likely to fail
That’s why we have a bartack at the end of every cuff insert, because they know that stitching and taping alone isn’t strong enough here
Why not two bartacks? Because you don’t need two, and thousands of hours of testing prove it
