Wearable as a jacket and offering the functionality of an ultra-light backpack, the MOUNTAIN VEST 5 from Ultimate Direction is a waistcoat from the Signature Series Mountain range.

Ideally designed for sportsmen and women who explore the mountains, this waistcoat makes climbing easy for them. Offering a volume of 13.4 litres, it allows you to take the essentials with you in all lightness. This waistcoat is also highly functional, as it acts as a trekking pole holder, a bottle holder (two 500 ml bottles) and has side pockets to store items that need to be kept close at hand. Very pleasant to wear because it is very light, this waistcoat benefits from the new Comfort Cinch technology which offers a personalised fit.

Other details accentuate its effectiveness such as its stretchability, phone compatible pockets and sternum strap.
