Treading even more lightly on the planet than previous models, the Namche Paclite provides packable waterproof protection made from 100% recycled fabrics and a fluorocarbon-free DWR.
Durably waterproof when you need it, yet lightweight and packable when you don’t, the Namche Paclite Jacket is perfect for stowing in a pack on all your everyday adventures and throwing on when there’s a sudden shower. The 100% recycled fabric is treated with a fluorocarbon-free DWR, creating a resilient yet breathable shell which will keep you comfortable on your most intense hikes.
The close-fitting hood can be adjusted with one hand and features a stiffened peak to stop drizzle from impeding your vision. Seal out rough weather using the adjustable cuffs, dual-sided rear hem adjustment and front zip with fleece-lined chin guard, to keep you dry without compromising on comfort. Sleeve articulation ensures exceptional freedom of movement, while two zipped mesh-lined hand pockets double up as vents to help with airflow when the terrain conspires against you.

How to measure.
Chest: Measure the full circumference of your chest just below your armpits.
Waist: Find the top of your hip and measure the full circumference around your body.
Arm length: Measure horizontally from the centre of your back, across the shoulder, over a naturally bent elbow and down to the wrist fold.
While all our garments are sized to these measurements, you will find that the cut on jackets designed for use in more extreme environments will be slightly more generous in the expectation that these designs will be used with additional/thicker midlayers. If you plan on using a jacket like this with fewer layers beneath it, please keep this in mind when selecting your size.
All garments are designed and fitted to suit their intended end use. See below for a general description of our fit categories:
Regular: Neither slim nor loose. Regular fit items are the perfect balance of form fit and ease of movement.
Slim: A streamlined silhouette. Cut trim following the contours of the body. Expertly placed articulation of seams and the use of stretch fabric ensure maximum freedom of movement in these close-fitting items.
Relaxed: Our more generous fit. Cut loosely through the body allowing for ease of movement and additional layering.
Expedition: Designed specifically to accommodate the layering system and equipment required for high altitude and polar expeditions.
