Alpkit Jura Mountain Pile Fleece-Lined Windproof Smock Jacket

Style Notes

The Jura Mountain Smock is a classic all-in-one layer designed to be thrown on and left on, making it ideal for everything from crisp autumn walks to cold, damp and downright nasty winter climbs. Built with a fully windproof and weather-resistant outer fabric treated with a PFC-free water repellent, it locks in warmth while shedding mist, showers and sleet, and the tough nylon construction is durable enough for rough use such as scrabbling up rock chimneys or general outdoor activity. Inside, a thick Sherpa fleece lining traps large amounts of warmth, providing excellent insulation during low-output days while continuing to perform when working hard in extreme cold. The fleece structure insulates even when damp and, aided by an additional wicking treatment, pulls moisture away quickly to prevent a clammy, chilled feeling after exertion. Designed to be worn over bare skin or a base layer, the Jura functions as a complete layering system, with a deep front zip and pits-to-hem side vents to help regulate temperature. A cosy fleece-lined hood can be hunkered into or zipped off completely, and a large kangaroo-style handwarmer pocket uses body heat to dry gloves and hats while providing a warm place to rest your hands.
