How does this jacket fit in with your activities?

- The wide hood is fully adjustable in height and depth. Its semi-rigid visor with integrated mesh headband provides a high level of protection and support.
- Ergonomically pre-shaped sleeves that adapt perfectly to your movements.
How breathable is this jacket?
Pour savoir si un tissu est respirant, on mesure sa résistance évaporative RET (test basé sur la norme JIS L 1099 B1). Plus la résistance est faible, plus le tissu laisse s’échapper la vapeur d'eau générée par le corps en activité, donc plus le tissu est respirant.
On considère que si :
- RET < 9 = tissu très respirant
- 9 < RET < 12 = tissu respirant.
Voici les valeurs de respirabilité de cette veste :
- RET < 8 pour le composant principal
- RET < 12 pour le composant secondaire
How many pockets does this jacket have?
This jacket features 2 hand pockets with YKK AquaGuard waterproof zippers. Accessible even when wearing a pack on your back.
A dedicated mesh pocket for your cell phone is included inside the right-hand pocket, so that it always stays in place, protected and won't fall out when you open your pocket.
What are the special features of the jacket's central opening zip?
- Full-length YKK AquaGuard waterproof zip with inner flap to protect you from the wind.
- Double slider for opening from the bottom of the jacket.
- Soft fabric flap at the top of the collar to protect the chin.

How does this jacket provide optimum protection?
