by Jon Shell jackets with adjustable pocket s which you can tailor to your sport are the latest development from Mammut in the shape of the Gore-Tex Pro Shell Albaron men’s jacket – upper image – and the Adamello jacket for women.

The idea is that you have your pockets in one configuration for walking use, but then change them for climbing. Two-way zips on the large, diagonal front pockets allow them to be top access or bottom access, small or large depeding on your needs. You could, for example, move the pocket openings to chest height for climbing use with a harness or shift the zips downwards for handwarmer-height pockets on cold days.

Sounds interesting – we’re not sure if the jackets are compartmentalised internally to give upper and lower pocket bags, but it would make sense. At least one Haglofs soft shell uses a similar double-ended pocket zip, though in that case, the top half of the zip accesses venting mesh rather than a pocket. Of course, if you’re not a pocket user, none of this will bother you over much,
The jackets are also very light – 440g for the Albaron and 370g for the Adamello – feature a new hood desugn which, it says here, can be adjusted vertically and horizontally and worn under a helmet, have pit-zips, adjustable hems and an abrasion resistant print on both shoulders and the hip area.
