Salewa Puez GTX 3L Jacket EPE-Quicksand-50 (L) — waterproof 3-layer hardshell, size L

The Salewa Puez GTX 3L Jacket EPE-Quicksand-50 in size L is a 3-layer Gore‑Tex hardshell designed for mountain use and wet-weather outdoor activities. Constructed with a waterproof, windproof and breathable 3-layer build and a Gore‑Tex membrane, the jacket provides reliable protection against rain and wind while maintaining moisture management. Its cut and features are intended for active use on trails, approaches and alpine terrain where durable, all-weather outerwear is required.

Advantages

This Gore‑Tex 3-layer jacket delivers long-lasting waterproofing and wind resistance in variable mountain conditions. The 3-layer construction integrates face fabric, membrane and backer into a single durable shell that resists abrasion and maintains performance over time. Breathability helps reduce internal condensation during high-exertion activities, and the articulated cut supports freedom of movement. Sealed seams and a protective hood design ensure consistent protection from driving rain and wind.

Suitable for

• Hiking and trekking in wet or windy conditions
• Alpine approaches and light mountaineering
• Backcountry and multi-day outdoor trips where reliable weather protection is needed
• Everyday use in rainy climates requiring a durable waterproof shell

Key specifications

• Construction: 3-layer hardshell with laminated waterproof membrane
• Membrane: Gore‑Tex for waterproof and breathable performance
• Protection: Fully seam-taped waterproof seams and stormproof hood
• Fit: Active/articulated cut sized L for layering and mobility
• Durability: Abrasion-resistant outer fabric appropriate for mountain use

How to use

Put the jacket on as the outermost layer over insulating mid-layers when facing rain or wind. Adjust the hood, hem and cuffs to seal out weather and to regulate ventilation. Open front zippers and pit zips when increased airflow is needed during high-intensity activity; close them to maintain waterproof protection during heavy precipitation. After use in wet or muddy conditions, rinse off dirt and let the jacket dry fully before storing.

Usage recommendations

For best long-term performance, follow the manufacturer's care guidelines: machine wash with a technical detergent suitable for waterproof garments, avoid fabric softeners, and restore durable water repellent (DWR) treatment as needed. Regularly inspect seam tape and zippers and store the jacket dry to preserve the membrane and outer fabric properties.
