Kailas Bogda Series Lightweight Waterproof Windproof Alpine Shell Jacket – Black
320 grams. This Kailas Bogda Series Lightweight Waterproof Windproof Alpine Shell Jacket is the alpine shell built around a single constraint: weight. At approximately 320g in size M, the Bogda is the jacket that disappears into the pack and performs when it comes out — the technical shell for long-distance hiking and mountaineering where every gram is a decision. The construction is built around that constraint without compromising the waterproof, windproof, and breathability performance that alpine conditions demand.
The membrane is the core technology. ePTFE membrane with nano-scale micropore structure — pore diameter 1/20,000th the size of a water droplet, large enough for water vapor to pass through freely, small enough to block liquid water entirely. The result is a membrane that breathes efficiently under sustained exertion while maintaining a complete waterproof barrier in sustained precipitation — the physics of the micropore doing the work that heavier membranes achieve through mass.
The construction details are each a weight-to-performance decision. Helmet-compatible adjustable structured hood — multi-dimensional adjustment for a close fit against the head, wind seal without peripheral vision restriction, sized to fit over a climbing helmet. Raised zip hand pockets — positioned above the hipbelt line so they remain accessible when wearing a backpack, the detail that makes the jacket functional rather than just wearable on the trail. YKK waterproof bi-directional main zip — opens from bottom as well as top, accessible from below when wearing a harness; waterproof-treated pocket zips protect phone, documents, and small items in rain. 3D ergonomic elbow panels — pre-shaped to the natural bend of the arm, reducing restriction during arm movement and climbing reach. Packable into its own pocket. The Bogda: the shell that earns its place in the pack.
