Gore-Tex Pro 3L Shell Vectran Jacket Man

The Mountain Studio Z-7 PRO GORE-TEX® Pro 3L Shell Vectran Jacket

Engineered in Switzerland and co-developed around the Matterhorn alongside alpine guides and ambassador athletes, the Z-7 PRO is the ultimate 3-layer GORE-TEX® Pro hard shell jacket. Built for severe off-piste freeriding, alpine climbing, and backcountry ski touring, it pairs complete stormproof defense with steel-grade armor paneling to withstand the most extreme winter environments.

GORE-TEX® Pro 3L, Vectran® Armor & Alpine Ergonomics Constructed with a heavy-duty 80-denier recycled polyamide shell and a 3-layer GORE-TEX® Pro ePE membrane, the Z-7 PRO delivers an impressive 30,000 mm waterproof and 30,000 g/m²/24h breathability rating. Ultra-durable Vectran® fiber paneling—five times stronger than steel by weight—reinforces the shoulders and elbows against heavy pack abrasion and harsh rock contact. Tailored with a longer back profile for deep powder coverage, high-reach arm articulation, and a Cohaesive™ cord-lock adjustment system, it features a fully adjustable, helmet-compatible storm hood with an integrated visor. Detailed with YKK® AquaGuard® zips, underarm pit vents, a removable powder skirt, internal Lycra® wrist gaiters, and a dedicated repair kit, it sets the benchmark for uncompromised mountain shell performance in an earthy Otter tone.
