The greatest jacket that has come in to the shop.














Down through the seven and a half years of me working in Mahers Outdoor there has been a hand full of jackets that i would call unbelievable. With the like of the Berghaus Sullivan, High trails, Trango and Pinnacle 3. The North Face has had their jackets like the Point Five, Down Pour and of course the Stratosphere.






From Mammut last season we had the Kiruna, it was so good we got it back in this year. But with a massive price comes a massive jacket.


The Mammut Parinaco


















What a jacket. This is a serious bit of kit, if you are the kind of person who goes to the mountain and the only thing you have in mind is putting on your helmet and harness roping up and tackling some ridge in the Reeks or the Wicklow mountains, just like Partick in the photo below, ok so we don't have a mountain we are using a stairs but pa wanted to dress up so we let him. As u can see Andy is not impressed by the newbies actions.


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.
