Who did we design it for?

For mountaineers and ski touring enthusiasts who refuse to carry unnecessary weight without compromising weather protection.

Those who push through long, technical ascents where every gram counts, from bivvy to summit.

Those looking for a jacket that integrates seamlessly into every mountain activity — hiking, mountaineering, ski touring — without ever adding to the load.

How to wear it?

Wear directly over a technical base layer or layered over a light down jacket depending on the conditions.

Your usual size; the pre-shaped cut is designed for full arm mobility.

What makes it different?

Its lightweight design packs maximum protection and intensive breathability into our thinnest fabric yet—with zero compromise on waterproofing. The jacket you'll never feel in your pack.

Protection that lightens your load without compromising your safety

In high mountain terrain, every gram counts. A pack that is too heavy can cost you the summit.

This jacket is designed for those who refuse to compromise between protection and lightness. It delivers reliable shield against wind and harsh weather while staying imperceptible in your pack and on the move.

It breathes with your effort to prevent overheating and fits every outing, from the approach to the summit.

Because in the mountains, going lighter should never mean compromising on protection: a jacket that keeps you safe without weighing you down.

At 1.84m tall and weighing 85kg, size XXL is a perfect fit, with enough room to wear a fleece underneath if needed. It's incredibly lightweight and very comfortable. The quality and finish are outstanding. The price is justified. I don't regret my purchase at all.

Perfect... except perhaps for the lack of hand pockets or handkerchief pockets at the bottom of the jacket. As always, excellent adherence to the order-delivery schedule... Superb. Excellent and helpful advice from customer service... Very honest... They don't push for sales at all costs... Walkers, hikers (especially in the mountains... and even glacier hiking enthusiasts), I am very satisfied with Cimalp's equipment... Keep up the good work, and thank you... The Belde from Pralognan la Vanoise...

The sleeves run large, but it's not a big deal; it's big enough to wear a down jacket underneath for winter. I requested an exchange for the Vinson model because I didn't like the off-center closure near the face. Otherwise, it's a very good product and of excellent quality.

Excellent jacket. Wind gusts at 4,000m altitude were easily tolerated. Great breathability during ascents at lower altitudes thanks to the side vents. Very practical pockets. Lightweight and easy to pack.

Machine wash at 30°C with a specialist detergent (such as NIKWAX or NST) on a gentle spin cycle (400 rpm max). Avoid standard supermarket detergents and fabric softeners at all costs. To reactivate the DWR finish, use a waterproofing spray or tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting.

Yes, the waterproof membrane of this model also acts as a full windbreak, preventing cold air from penetrating and chilling the layers you wear underneath.
