Keela Munro Jacket

Keela's Munro Jacket is capable of combating the toughest conditions imaginable. It has helped conquer the highest mountains on the planet and is used by Mountain Rescue Teams, Tactical Forces, and expedition teams worldwide.

The Keela Munro Jacket is everything a jacket should be! Packed with features, robust and fashionable, you would be hard pushed to find another jacket on the market to match it. Used by extreme people in extreme environments.

Keela uses an outer fabric, which is coated or laminated with a breathable membrane, and teams it with a mesh lining, which has a high-wicking hydrophilic (water-loving) membrane laminated to it. These two layers of fabric create an air gap providing a natural thermal barrier, protecting against heat loss, and reducing the need for bulky layers.

The hydrophilic membrane rapidly transports moisture (sweat and condensation) away from the body, keeping you dry and comfortable, even in the rain. The combination of the air gap and wicking process regulates body temperature, minimizing overheating when active and shivering during inactive periods, keeping you safe and comfortable throughout your adventure.

Fabric Technology: 

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.

You’ve seen it before, you find your new jacket has moisture inside after a good half hour of physical exertion.

But why?

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.

Think about your car windscreen on a cold day… fogging up due to the temperature difference between the inside and the outside – force ventilation is needed to clear the moisture.

Just like that, no waterproof garments breathe in wet or cold conditions, no matter what marketing hype may tell you. Breathability claims can be made, but with the international test standards being set in dry conditions at 21°C and above, the results are far removed from the conditions in which we expect our products to perform.

What is System Dual Protection?

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.

System Dual Protection is used by Emergency Services & Mountain Rescue and is a popular choice with the outdoor community.
