A technical GORE-TEX® Shell designed to provide quick ascent through extreme conditions.
To keep your Atacama GORE-TEX ePE shell waterproof and breathable, wash it regularly in warm water on a gentle cycle using a liquid technical detergent. Fasten all zippers and straps beforehand, and avoid powder detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach.
Tumble dry on a low, gentle heat setting to dry the fabric, then run it for an additional 20 minutes to reactivate the water-repellent (DWR) coating. When water stops beading on the surface, spray the damp jacket with a PFC-free DWR spray before drying.
The Atacama GORE-TEX LightAscent Shell typically runs small. If likely used on its own, keep to your normal size, if layering for mountaineering purposes, take a size up, though for best results, refer to our size sheet below the 'Add to Cart' button.
