With its durable feel, generous cut, and plenty of useful features, the MTN Seeker GTX Jacket offers a great entry-level winter mountaineering shell for those not wanting to break the bank with a premium Gore Pro (or similar) alternative, says John McKenna.
I agree with you that the Tupilak does offer great value. But the MTN Seeker still comes in at a reasonable price for the amount of jacket that you get in amongst the larger market. Some people may not want to spend £80 more on a mountain jacket if they do not see a justifiable need for a Gore Pro in their use case.
Lorraine McCall began her attempt today at a continuous, self-powered round of the Grahams, a four-month tour of upland Scotland combining walking and bikepacking. If successful, she'll be the first person that we know of to do it.
