In the MTN Guide Hyper Alpha, Berghaus has brought together two high performance fabrics to create an ultra-lightweight waterproof and insulated shell for long, hard days in the mountains.

Part of the acclaimed new Extrem range, the shell is made out of Berghaus' own waterproof and extremely breathable 3L HYDROSHELL ELITE™ with a 6D ripstop face. This has been combined with strategically placed bonded panels of Polartec® Alpha® to provide welcome insulation when the temperature drops.

Compatible with harness and pack, the Hyper Alpha offers optimum comfort across a wide range of conditions and activities, allowing the wearer to keep going without having to pause to remove or add layers. When it's not needed, it packs down into a tiny space until needed again.

This hugely versatile shell weighs only 226g (women's size 12) / 262g (men's size large) and retails at £290. The Berghaus MTN Guide Hyper Alpha jacket has already been recognised by the outdoor industry, securing an ISPO Award.

The ISPO Award jury commented: "Sometimes, the struggle is real, when it comes to deciding whether to take another layer of insulation or not, especially if it's wet and temperatures are just in-between. The MTN Guide Hyper Alpha jacket impressively solves this problem by creating a new category of a lightweight shell with a hint of bonded insulation."
