Meru Mountain Gore-Tex Jacket
A mountain jacket whose second life belongs as much to the crowd as to the hillside.

Story & heritage
Berghaus' own concert-capsule copy identifies the Meru Jacket as first released in 1994: designed for mountains, then adopted into British music culture. That dual identity is why the reissue feels less like a retro novelty and more like a recovered uniform.
The modern Meru Mountain Gore-Tex Jacket revives that centre-stage silhouette with current waterproof protection and the bold, high-contrast panels that made the original instantly readable from a distance.
Materials & craft
The current official product family uses GORE-TEX protection in a mountain-jacket shape: full hood coverage, a front zip protected for weather, and multiple adjustments so the shell can be tightened over layers. Its craft story is about translating a 1990s expedition outline into a wearable, repairable modern shell.
How to choose & style
The Meru is the archive jacket for people who want a softer, more everyday read than the Trango. Wear the red-and-blue version unapologetically with simple layers; the green and purple versions are easier with walking trousers, cargos, and muted knitwear.
