Sizing information
Quite a close-fitting cut. The jacket's inner volume allows you to wear it over a warm second layer such as a micro-fleece.
Thermal comfort and windproof
The wind causes the perceived temperature to decrease considerably.
With an outside temperature of 32°F and 12 mph winds, it will feel like the temperature is 14°F.
"Windproof" components help eliminate the discomfort linked to this "freezing effect." Very effective at reducing heat loss by creating a barrier against the wind.
Protective details
Drawstring tightening with toggles at the bottom of the jacket
Tightening at the cuffs with Velcro tabs
Adjustable hood
Water repellent property of the component (not to be confused with waterproofing)
The water-repellent property of a fabric is its capacity to make water run off its surface without absorbing it.
This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight and breathable. The fabric is made water-repellent by treating its outer surface. However, this property may deteriorate with use.
In order to reactivate it, follow the guide:
