Mammut Convey Tour vs Alto Light

By WildVerdict · Published · Updated

Choose the Convey Tour if you prefer its GORE-TEX PACLITE construction and regular cut. Consider the Alto Light for a DRY Tour 2.5-layer shell that stores in a pocket. Both include underarm ventilation, with manufacturer weights of 336 g and 355 g.

Based on 202 included owner reviews.

The differences that matter

The Convey Tour uses a 50-denier polyester face and a three-point adjustable hood. The Alto Light offers an adjustable hood, hem and cuffs alongside self-storage. Their different membrane names do not by themselves identify which will feel less clammy during a climb.

The listed weight gap is only 19 g. That makes hood adjustment, fit and storage more useful separators. The Convey specification applies to older model 1010-27842; check the code if a retailer uses the same family name for different remaining stock.

Which should you choose?

Choose the Convey Tour if its regular cut and hood adjustment work well with your pack. Choose the Alto Light if pocket storage and its fit are the better match. Read the owner concerns below before assuming the small weight gap means the jackets are otherwise interchangeable.
