Men's Pinnacle Jacket

Designed for cold-weather trekking, ski touring and winter mountaineering, our Pinnacle Jacket sets a new benchmark for Rohan waterproofs.

Intended to be a hardwearing, durable, workhorse jacket for serious outdoor enthusiasts and mountain professionals, the design of the Pinnacle Jacket is based on 30 years of cumulative knowledge and takes advantage of all the very latest innovations in fabric technology and garment construction.

It’s made from our class-leading Barricade™ fabric with our highly effective Permanent Water Repellency™ finish. Barricade™ works a bit differently from ordinary waterproof/breathables. It operates dynamically and responds to your body temperature and the humidity of the surrounding environment. We call it Active Diffusion™. Basically, the steamier it gets inside, the more vapour escapes – keeping you comfortable in a much wider range of conditions.

The Permanent Water Repellency™ finish is not quite as glamorous – but it’s just as important. It forces water to bead up on the surface of the fabric rather than soaking into the jacket. Without it, breathability would be seriously impaired and, in cold conditions, the jacket would freeze up, becoming stiff, heavy and uncomfortable.

The Pinnacle Jacket features two big chest pockets, mounted high to avoid a rucksack hip-belt, and a full-length waterproof zip. The Riri Aquazip™ is probably the best zip in the world right now for serious outdoor use. It uses moulded plastic teeth which mesh and form a seal. It eliminates the need for a complex system of protective storm-flaps behind and in front of the zips. It’s also really hardwearing and super-tough. Although not cheap, we think the benefits far outweigh the cost.

The hood is stiffened and offers full protection in the worst weather. It adjusts with our neat One-Pull™ adjustment system and offers fleece facings on the inside to keep your ears warm. We’ve gone for a fairly compact hood – it’s the perfect size to go over winter hats or a balaclava but it’s not big enough to go over the top of a skiing or climbing helmet. So bear that in mind, if it’s an important consideration for you.

Two internal stretchy mesh pockets are designed to carry small items as conveniently as possible. They also make a great place to dry off inner gloves.

The sleeve features a small, zipped accessory pocket. It’s big enough to take a compass but it’s also a great place to keep lip salve or a pocket knife.

The ventilation system on the Pinnacle Jacket is a bit different from the more commonly used ‘pit zip’ system - in that it actually works! Our ventilation zips are mounted on the chest so, when you open them, they stay open and work immediately, dumping heat in seconds. The zips are two-way so you can fine-tune the ventilation.

We’ve also added internal link zips – which mean a compatible liner such as the Inner Flame Jacket can be attached. For skiing and general winter use, when you’re almost always putting on and removing both layers at once, this makes the whole arrangement more convenient.

The jacket features a neat, detachable spindrift collar. Take it off for trekking and zip it on when you’re skiing or snowboarding. It features a grippy elastic facing which keeps it exactly where it should be.
