The Munro Jacket has been my go-to jacket for a variety of challenging adventures. Whether I'm hiking in the Scottish Highlands or braving the elements on an Arctic expedition, this jacket has never let me down. Here’s why it’s a staple in my gear collection:

• Waterproof and Windproof: The jacket’s outer fabric is both waterproof and windproof, ensuring I stay protected in the toughest weather. I've tested it in heavy rain and strong winds, and it kept me dry and comfortable throughout.

• Highly Breathable and Wickable: Featuring a high-wicking hydrophilic (water-loving) mesh lining, the Munro Jacket keeps me dry and comfortable by rapidly transporting sweat and condensation away from my body. This has been especially beneficial during intense physical activities.

• Thermal Protection: The unique air gap created by the two layers of fabric acts as a natural thermal barrier, protecting against heat loss and reducing the need for bulky layers. This feature has been a game-changer in regulating my body temperature.

• Condensation Control: The hydrophilic membrane manages moisture, ensuring I stay dry even in the rain. No more feeling damp inside my jacket!

• 4-Way Adjustable Roll-Away Hood with Wired Peak: The hood provides excellent protection and can be adjusted for a perfect fit. It’s been a lifesaver during unexpected downpours.

• Chin Guard and One-Handed Drawcord Neck Baffle: Added comfort and protection against the elements. These features have made a noticeable difference in keeping me warm.

• Reinforced Shoulder Panels: Extra durability where it’s needed most. I’ve carried heavy backpacks without any signs of wear on the shoulders.

• Ample Storage: Two zipped chest pockets with double storm flaps, two lower zipped pockets (fleece-lined) with storm flaps, a concealed OS map security pocket, and a mobile phone/iPod pocket. Plenty of storage options for all my essentials.

• Articulated Sleeve and Hook and Loop Adjustable Cuffs: Enhanced mobility and custom fit. These features have allowed me to move freely and comfortably.

• Underarm Zipped Ventilation with Double Storm Flaps: Efficient airflow to prevent overheating during intense activities. This ventilation system has been invaluable during strenuous hikes.

• Scooped Back and Detachable Inner Snow Skirt: Extra coverage and protection against snow and cold. The scooped back has provided excellent coverage, and the snow skirt has kept snow out during winter adventures.

• Two-Way Front Zipper with Double Storm Flap: Easy access and additional protection against the elements. The double storm flap has been effective in keeping the weather out.

• Shock Cord with Cord Locks at Hood, Waist, and Hem: Ensures a snug fit. These adjustments have allowed me to fine-tune the fit for maximum comfort.

• One-Handed Drawcord Adjuster: Quick and easy adjustments on the go. This feature has been incredibly convenient.

SDP was originally developed for use in Military applications and has gone on to be used by Tactical Forces, Mountain Rescue, and Emergency Services requiring performance clothing that works as hard as they do. It has become a popular choice with the outdoor community and has been used to conquer the world’s toughest mountain summits and survive the harshest Arctic conditions.

In recognition of SDP’s success, Keela was awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise: Innovation, one of the UK’s most prestigious awards, which recognizes outstanding achievement in the categories of international trade, innovation, and sustainable development. Keela is grateful for the recognition of their innovations and continues to further develop System Dual Protection to ensure our customers know they can face the elements with confidence and comfort.

Ever Felt Wet Inside Your Waterproof Clothing?

Just like condensation on a window or in your car, your jacket can build up moisture on the inside. Although it may look and feel as though your jacket is letting in water, the moisture is in fact caused by condensation building up inside.

Here at Keela, we have developed our award-winning System Dual Protection (SDP) which uses a simple 2-layer concept that manages inner condensation accumulating inside the garments during wet and cold conditions.

SDP features a tough and durable 100% waterproof outer layer, which can handle wear and tear whilst protecting you from the elements, and a lightweight inner layer laminated with a hydrophilic (water-loving) membrane that rapidly transports the moisture (sweat and condensation) away from the body, keeping you dry and comfortable. With this 2-layer system, an “Air Gap” is created which helps to build warmth, allowing for the body’s temperature to be regulated, minimizing shivering when inactive.

Designed for Men and Women

The Keela Munro Jacket is available in both men’s and women’s versions, ensuring a perfect fit for everyone. Check out the men's Munro Jacket and the women's Munro Jacket on our website.

Why Choose Keela?

Keela is a brand known for its commitment to quality and innovation. Their jackets are tested in the toughest environments to ensure they meet the highest standards. When you choose Keela, you're choosing a product that's been trusted by extreme adventurers and professionals around the globe.

At Wylie's Outdoor World, Keela is our primary outdoor clothing brand. Over the last 10 years, we have tested all of Keela's clothing lines. We use Keela for all of our own outdoor adventures, and we can personally attest to the exceptional performance and durability of their products. When you choose Keela, you’re not just buying a jacket; you’re investing in gear that has been tried and tested by professionals who demand the best.

Keela's range is used for everything from running and cycling to conquering mountains, and each item is designed to work best in a specific scenario. However, this can mean that our items fit differently from each other, depending on what you are using them for, and your personal preferences.

For example, suppose you’re usually a size M and have one of our base layers in a size M and decide you really MUST have a Munro Jacket for walking your dogs in the pouring rain. In that case, if you aren’t planning on wearing multiple bulky layers with the Munro, you’re likely to find the size M too big. This is because it’s designed to survive trips up mountains in the most extreme conditions, where you would need to wear a wicking base layer, maybe a microfleece, and a thicker fleece or thermal jacket. If you’re not going to wear these layers, you’ll have a lot of extra space!

Still confused? Don’t worry! We’ve added icons to our product pages to let you know how the item fits, and you can follow the extra guidance to help you decide if you should stick to your normal size or choose a size up or down.

Why Do I Need to Reproof? Re-proofing of your garment is just as important as washing; this is because although the fabric is treated with a water repellent finish this does not last forever and will wear off over time. When the DWR finish has worn off, the surface fabric will begin to “wet out” (absorb water). When this happens, you should use a specialist DWR reproofer as required. WARNING – SDP Garments For System Dual Protection garments, avoid reproofing products which are designed to be used with a washing machine. What is DWR? DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. Over time the original DWR treatment on a waterproof garment will wear off, so a DWR treatment (also referred to as ‘reproofing’) is used to re-apply the water repellency. Steps to Reproof Ensure your garment is clean – any dirt or other substance on your jacket can stop the reproofer ‘bonding’ to the jacket. Choose your reproofer Read the instructions on your specific reproofer carefully before beginning, as each one will have different requirements (for example, some work best if the garment is dry, and others work best if the garment is damp).
