Mountain Equipment Size Guide:
The sizing of the garments makes allowance for whether they are close fitting or not and what they are designed to be worn with.
Take measurements wearing only baselayers/light clothing. The tape should be tight but not restrictive.
With a tape measure, measure your chest at the fullest part, keeping the tape horizontal.

GORE-TEX®
Constructed from a microporous membrane to optimise breathability, GORE-TEX® is durably waterproof and windproof.
Whether you’re dashing through downtown showers or facing down mountain storms, you get innovative waterproofness, windproofness, and excellent breathability.
PACLITE® GORE-TEX® is durably waterproof, windproof, and extremely breathable.
The two-layer design is made to be as lightweight and packable as possible, while also being tested to withstand tough weather and repeated use
PFC-Free DWR: We are pleased to share this honest information from our friends, Mountain Equipment:
"PFC-Free DWRs offer excellent water repellence but less oil/dirt repellence than older PFC chemistries
They require more regular reproofing to maintain performance"
Mountain HC Hood is M.E's middle hood size.
When worn without a climbing helmet it offers superb protection and plenty of vision without feeling too bulky.
It can be worn over a helmet when required but for regular helmet use it won’t feel quite as comfortable or as protective as their Super Alpine HC Hood
