Jacket Salewa Puez GTX 3L Epe-black out 48 (M) – waterproof breathable 3-layer Gore‑Tex

The Salewa Puez GTX 3L Epe-black out 48 (M) is a waterproof, breathable 3-layer outdoor shell designed for alpine hiking and variable mountain weather. Constructed with a Gore‑Tex membrane laminated into a three-layer fabric, the jacket provides continuous protection from wind and rain while remaining lightweight and packable. Articulated sleeves and an adjustable hood ensure freedom of movement and reliable coverage, while weatherproof zippers and a tailored cut offer functional performance for multi-day treks and day hikes.

Advantages

The three-layer Gore‑Tex construction delivers long-lasting waterproofing and breathability without the need for a separate lining, improving durability and reducing bulk. An adjustable hood and hem allow for personalized fit and protection against driving rain and gusts, while articulated sleeves maintain mobility during climbing and scrambling. High-quality weatherproof zippers and taped seams increase resistance to water ingress, and the jacket’s streamlined design balances protection with weight for efficient outdoor use.

Suitable for

• Alpine hiking and ridge routes
• Multi-day trekking in wet and windy conditions
• Day hikes and mountain approaches where packability matters
• Layering over softshells or insulating mid-layers

How to use

Wear the jacket as an outer shell over insulating mid-layers and base layers to manage moisture and temperature during activity. Adjust the hood, hem, and cuffs to create a protective barrier when encountering rain or wind; open ventilation zippers briefly during high-exertion periods to release excess heat. After use in wet or salty environments, rinse off grit and allow the jacket to dry fully before storing. Follow garment care instructions provided by the manufacturer to preserve the Gore‑Tex membrane and water-repellent finish.

Usage recommendations

Use this jacket as a primary waterproof shell for alpine and hiking trips where reliable protection and breathability are required. Combine with a moisture-wicking base layer and an insulating mid-layer in colder conditions; renew the durable water repellent (DWR) finish as needed to maintain surface water beading and overall performance.
