The Manitoba Expedition Alpine Jacket is built for rough alpine weather where wind, rain, abrasion, and sudden temperature shifts can all arrive in the same trip. Its waterproof T400 middle layer, PFC-free DWR outer treatment, and fast-drying fabric help keep the jacket protective without making it feel heavy or awkward to carry.

The pocket layout is useful for field days where small items need to stay close at hand. Two chest pockets and two waist pockets give you room for essentials, while the double full-length front zipper, adjustable hood, and Velcro cuffs help fine-tune comfort as conditions change. The armpit vents are especially useful on climbs, letting heat escape without needing to remove the jacket.

This is a strong option for alpine trekking and outdoor field use where you need serious weather protection in a jacket that can still pack down into your kit. The green colour keeps the look practical and low-profile, while the reinforced Cordura seat area adds extra durability where the jacket may see more abrasion.
