Description
With 23 years of Design experience in waterproof design, it took me a three years to use all my knowledge and Experience to create and build the Lightweight Scottish Alpine Jacket. The Scottish Jacket is refining this further to produce a versatile jacket for mountain use. An Athletic Silhouette and with features where you need them.
Microporous Technology
“I have designed this three-layer Application to endure the demands of Mountaineers, ski Mountaineers and Serious Outdoor enthusiasts, Garments made with 3 layer Microporous are engineered for rough terrain while protecting against the extreme changing and unpredictable conditions presented to mountain Athletes. Many Athletes prefer this type of Technology as it maintains a dry feel when working hard in the most testing conditions, I have worked very hard in testing garments and fabric to find a membrane which meets and copes with what myself and athletes expect.” Richard Dannah MA
Lightweight Scottish Alpine Jacket uses the latest construction methods using 3D manikins to create Athletic movement and function to suit the elite in the Outdoors.
The Dannah Hood is patented design that is Helmet compatible that provides the best protection in cold or wet weather. The Cold Flexible peak and hood adjustment secures tightly and provides total coverage without restricting movement or visibility. The adjustment and hood has been designed for ease of use in inclement conditions. Simply fastening the main zip is all that is required to achieve protection.

I’m feeling a bit better prepared for #climatebreakdown now. On top of that, eco sensitive materials used and the people who made it get a fair deal. Meanwhile the jacket is great, I like the feel when wearing this jacket – light but very robust. Did fiddle a bit with the hood to start. It is very helmet friendly which means bringing it in pretty tight on a bare head, but I now have the hang of it. The materials at least when new are stunningly functional. I like the colour. And I climb a bit.
