The weather can change quickly in the mountains. So it's best to come prepared. The Brigitte is one of LaMunt's iconic pieces. With taped seams and made from fully waterproof, lightweight, PFC-free fabric, this cape is the ultimate expression of the Ali Shape concept (our rounded wing-inspired cut lines). Quick to deploy when the weather breaks, once the showers have passed, it can be stuffed inside its own pocket and carried by its hand loop – or packed away neatly inside a backpack. And thanks to its wide shape it can also be used over the top of a backpack for full rain protection. Press studs at the wrists create ‘sleeves’ and mean it follows your every move with ease. And the hood has a comfortable elasticated binding. A gusset-backed front zip is waterproof while also adding ventilation when required. And a large front pocket can be used to stash your essentials. So why neglect your unmistakable style in the mountains? No reason.
