Hiking jacket Salewa Puez GTX 3L Epe Jacket — waterproof 3-layer, size L, blueberry

The Salewa Puez GTX 3L Epe Jacket in blueberry (size L) is a 3-layer GORE-TEX hiking shell designed to deliver waterproof and breathable protection for mountain and outdoor activities. Its lightweight construction and fully taped seams create a weatherproof outer layer that resists driving rain and wind while maintaining good moisture management during active use. The jacket is intended as a hard shell for trekking, alpine approaches and wet conditions where a reliable, packable barrier against the elements is required.

Advantages

The 3-layer GORE-TEX membrane provides long-lasting waterproofing and breathability without the need for an inner lining, resulting in a durable yet lightweight shell. Fully taped seams and a durable outer face fabric increase weather resistance and abrasion performance. The design balances protection and packability so the jacket can be carried or stowed easily on multi-day hikes or variable-weather outings.

Suitable for

• Trekking and long-distance hiking in wet and windy conditions
• Alpine approaches and mountain travel where waterproof protection is required
• Day hikes and fast pack trips that require a lightweight, breathable rain shell
• Travel and outdoor commuting in changeable weather

How to use

Wear the jacket as the outermost layer over insulating mid-layers to protect against rain, wind and wet-snow conditions. Fully close the front zipper and adjust hood and cuffs to seal out drafts. Use the jacket during periods of higher activity when breathability is needed to manage internal moisture; during lower activity or rest, ensure ventilation by loosening layers underneath. Store the jacket dry and folded or rolled in a breathable bag when not in use to preserve the membrane performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, follow garment care instructions for waterproof/breathable fabrics: machine wash with a technical wash product, avoid fabric softeners, and reactivate durable water repellency (DWR) with heat treatment if needed. Regularly check and reproof high-wear areas to maintain water beading and extended service life.
