This weather-protective shell jacket is made for ski touring but works excellent for alpine activities ranging from trekking to lightweight mountaineering.
It’s made in premium GORE-TEX® fabric, and we use this because it’s the world-leading quality for durable waterproofness (28,000mm), breathability (RET less than 4), and total windproofness.
The jacket blends two GORE-TEX technologies: The main fabric is a recycled 30D GORE-TEX© Active nylon fabric to provide maximum protection and breathability during high intensity. It’s sturdy and durable but considerably lower in weight than our other ski shell jackets.
The second material is a recycled 3-layer 30D rip-stop GORE-TEX® C-knit recycled nylon, which is used on shoulders, sleeves, and the collar to increase the range of movement and durability without compromising on protection.
Key features include: A helmet-compatible storm hood with one-hand adjustment, asymmetric cuffs with velcro adjustment, chest ventilation with YKK water-resistant zipper and mesh, internal chest pocket, laminated stretch woven hand gaiter, reinforced shoulders, two vertical chest pockets with YKK water-resistant zippers.
The jacket has a refined technical fit with a Y-shaped cut and articulated arms, perfect for alpine movement. It’s slightly longer in the back for extra protection.
