Gear of the Week | Alagna Jacket by Mammut

3-layer Gore-Tex softshell freeride jacket at its best!

by Tobias Kurzeder 02/21/2012
The Alagna jacket from Mammut can do everything a really good jacket has to do! * It keeps you warm when it's cold. * It keeps you dry when it's wet. * You don't sweat too much when it's warm. * It is breathable when you are still sweaty. * It is resistant to stress. * It is pleasantly soft to wear. * It can be stowed away compactly when you don't want to wear it?

It's simply my favorite jacket. And has been for many years! The Gore-Tex 3-layer softshell laminate may not be 100% soft, but the jacket is a fully-fledged, genuine freeride or big mountain jacket. I find the minimalist lining very pleasant, which simply makes the jacket much more comfortable to wear than conventional hard-shell jackets. Of course, the Alagna jacket also has the usual gadgets: Goggle cleaning cloth, waterproof zippers and much more. Whether you really need all that is rather irrelevant.

By the way: I still have my very first jacket from this series. It's been six years now and I only use it for working outside. Apart from the zipper, which is now a little chipped and no longer 100% waterproof, it's still great.
My only gripe with the jacket is the somewhat sluggish, waterproof zippers. Nevertheless: 97.5 out of a possible 100 points. I'll be wearing it again tomorrow!

To the manufacturer Mammut...
