Cutting information
Close-fitting style. Inner volume enabling this jacket to be worn in conjunction with a thin micro-fleece 2nd layer.
Thermal comfort and windproofing
Wind considerably increases the sensation of cold. For example, at an outside temperature of 0°C, a 20 km/h wind will cause the perceived temperature to drop to -10°C. Windproof components eliminate the discomfort associated with this cooling effect. By forming a barrier against the wind, they effectively reduce heat loss.
Protection features
- Bottom tightening with elastic drawcord and tankas
- Cuff tightening with hook-and-loop fasteners
- Adjustable hood
Component water repellency (not to be confused with waterproofing)
A fabric's water repellency is its ability to let water slide off its surface, without absorbing it. As a result, your jacket won't become waterlogged, and remains light and breathable. Water repellency is achieved by a treatment applied to the outer face of the fabric, but in use it can be altered. You can find out how to reactivate the water repellency of your softshell in our article "Maintaining, washing and repairing a waterproof or water-repellent garment" available on the Forclaz website.
