Salewa Puez GTX 3L damesjack Cactus Green

With a waterproof rating exceeding 28,000 mm H2O and breathability below RET 6, the Salewa Puez GTX 3L Jacket sets a high bar for alpine hardshells. Built on a GORE-TEX® 3-layer C-Knit™ membrane, this women's jacket pairs a 100% polyamide face with a soft, quiet backer for all-day comfort in demanding conditions.

Overview

Engineered for alpine trekking and hiking, the Puez GTX 3L delivers reliable weather protection without the stiff, crinkly feel of traditional hardshells. The C-Knit™ backer adds next-to-skin softness and reduces noise, while fully taped seams and waterproof YKK® AquaGuard® zippers keep moisture out. An athletic fit layers cleanly over midlayers, and the helmet-compatible storm hood with pre-shaped visor offers full coverage when the weather turns.
