Best Mammut waterproof jackets

By WildVerdict · Published · Updated

Among these Mammut options, shortlist the Convey Tour or Alto Light for a lighter walking shell, and the Crater IV for helmet-compatible mountain features. Treat the older Nordwand Pro as a conditional option: its exact manufacturer specification is no longer fully available for the cataloged model.

Based on 414 included owner reviews.

The differences that matter

The Convey Tour and Alto Light use 2.5-layer constructions at 336 g and 355 g. Both include underarm ventilation. The 482 g Crater IV moves to three-layer GORE-TEX ePE with helmet and harness-compatible features, giving you a more specific reason to carry the additional weight.

This guide covers four men’s models with published evidence, including older stock. The Nordwand Pro here is 1010-28050, rather than the newer Eiger model. Missing details remain unknown; its name and owner feedback cannot substitute for a verified fabric or weight specification.

Nordwand Pro

The catalog covers the older Nordwand Pro HS Hooded Jacket, model 1010-28050. Mammut no longer exposes a complete specification for this exact version on the checked product page. Weight, fabric details and features remain unverified here. Check the label and original specification before buying old stock; the newer Eiger Nordwand Pro is a different model.
