The Mountain Equipment Womens Particle Jacket is their lightest female-specific waterproof shell. The new Drilite® fabric and minimalist design make it the perfect choice for those who want to move fast and keep the weight to a minimum. This jacket also packs down into its own stuff sack small enough to clip to a harness or live in the lid of a pack. This is a great climbers jacket, short enough to use with a harness but able to shed off even heavy rain. Drilite® Ultra fabric is a waterproof and breathable coating rather than a membrane. Whilst you probably wouldn't notice that any difference in performance in waterproofness, you cannot expect a coated fabric to offer the same breathability as a membrane. On the plus side coated fabrics are much lighter and cheaper than membranes so lend themselves perfectly to light and fast garments.
