New product for Spring 2022

The jacket has printed dots on the backer, with a 3D function to keep distance to the body and create higher friction and a less sticky durable interior. Key features include a helmet-compatible hood with one-hand adjustment, cuffs with Velcro® adjustments, an elastic bottom hem, and zippered chest pocket and front chest ventilation. The jacket has a technical fit with a Y-cut and articulated arms for optimum movement while climbing.
