Quick take — Mammut Eiger Nordwand Pro HS (Women): storm armor with PFAS-free GORE-TEX Pro (ePE)

A stiffer, more protective counterpart to Eiger Free—built for maximum protection when the weather turns ugly. PFAS-free GORE-TEX Pro (ePE) weatherproofing, alpine features, and a confident, structured feel in wind and spindrift.

Nordwand Pro vs Eiger Free — which shell fits your days

  • Nordwand Pro HS: burlier face + structure; most protective for sustained exposure.

  • Eiger Free Advanced HS: softer, friendlier for resort + sidecountry; a touch lighter.

Waterproofing — GORE-TEX Pro (ePE), PFAS-free

  • Membrane: PFAS-free GORE-TEX Pro (ePE) (waterproof/breathable), fully seam-taped.

  • Features: helmet-compatible hood with firm brim, pit zips, powder skirt, hem/cuff adjustments, pass pocket, watertight zips.

Fit & sizing — Eiger Nordwand Pro HS (Women)

Alpine-leaning cut with room for a warm midlayer. True to size for most; size up only if your insulation is very bulky. Slightly longer drop hem to seal drafts.

Where it shines — Storms, Wind & Exposure

  • Storm & exposure: chair-to-chute laps, windy bowls, above-treeline traverses.

  • Sidecountry & short tours: pair with a breathable mid; dump heat via pit zips.

  • Resort daily driver if you prefer a more protective, stiffer shell feel.

Pros & cons — Eiger Nordwand Pro HS

Pros
• PFAS-free GORE-TEX Pro (ePE) protection
• Stiffer build = better wind and edge-snag resistance
• Full alpine feature set (hood, vents, skirt, dialed adjustments)
• Pairs cleanly with Mammut freeride bibs and Aenergy mid

Cons
• Heavier/stiffer feel than Eiger Free
• Pricey; color options rotate by season
• Overkill for mild resort days

Good pairings

Should you buy the Eiger Nordwand Pro HS?

  • Best for: skiers who prioritize maximum protection in storms and on exposed terrain, with PFAS-free tech.

  • Not for: park laps or mostly mild groomer days—consider Eiger Free Advanced HS instead.
