    Tupilak Men's Jacket

    The Tupilak Jacket is an iced and mixed climbing master. Rugged, extremely protective and engineered with vertical movement in mind. Famed for its durability and simplicity it is affectionately referred to as Bullock-proof after the exploits of British Alpinist Nick Bullock whose grit, determination and thirst for run-out mixed masterpieces helped hone its design over many seasons. In short it is an excellent choice for Scottish winter climbing or anywhere else where rain, snow and hurricane force winds all conspire to stop you climbing in your tracks.

    At a glance, the Tupilak Jacket oozes simplicity. It is constructed from a single, super-burly fabric with two large and easily accessible chest pockets and a cavernous hood. But look beyond its uncluttered exterior and what reveals itself is a world-class waterproof shell. A combination of the very best GORE-TEX fabrics pared with our highest specification design, build and componentry.
