The bottom opening also ensures quick access to your shorts’ waistband. The zipper is waterproof to guarantee full protection against the elements.

  Minimalist and intuitive, this elastic drawcord with cord lock allows you to tighten the bottom of the jacket to reduce heat loss.

• EvenSafe 3L™

  Made from EvenSafe 3L™, this waterproof pocket positioned inside the large back pocket is ideal for safely carrying personal items such as your credit card, passport, or charger. Directly attached to the rigid structure of the pack, it remains highly stable even under heavy load. Its waterproof fabric protects your belongings from moisture.

• Bag Nest™

  Placed at the back of the jacket, this gusset allows it to be worn over a 12 liter pack, ensuring full protection of your gear. Thanks to its pleated and bonded construction, it adjusts the volume of the jacket to automatically adapt to your load.

• FlaskNest™

  Placed at the front of the jacket, these gussets increase volume around the flasks to ensure ultimate comfort and full freedom of movement. Even under heavy load, you will no longer feel any sense of compression.

• HoodBand™

  Made with EverdryAero™ fabric, this headband ensures a secure hold of the hood, even in strong winds.

• GuardLite™

  This 54 g/m² fabric is a true technological achievement, offering the ideal balance between wind protection, breathability, and packability. It also features a mechanical treatment that tightens the fibers to enhance air permeability, along with a Drytech C0 finish. The result is one of the best materials for creating a highly breathable and ultra-compact windbreaker. Unlike conventional windbreakers, this fabric has no coating, maintaining a soft, silky feel with no noise.

• PackablePocket™ (Thermalshell)

  The dimensions of this pocket have been carefully designed to allow the jacket to be packed into itself, making it easy to slip into your belt or pack.

Located at the back of the jacket, under the hood, this pocket also allows you to store the hood when not in use.

• RigidVisor™ (Thermalshell)

  The front of this hood is intentionally more rigid to create a protective visor against light rain. Compatible with a beanie or a cap, this panel adds structure for a fit that follows your head movements, allowing you to stay focused on the terrain.

• CleanSeal™

  Whether at the hem of the jacket or around the hood, this seamless bonded finish eliminates friction for unmatched comfort. In addition to its clean, minimalist design, it slightly limits the fabric’s elasticity at the edges for an optimal fit and drape.

• LightStuffPocket™

  Positioned on the side of the jacket, this pocket is designed to hold lightweight items such as gloves or a bandana while running. When stationary, for example at a refuge, it can also be used to store essentials you want to keep within reach, such as your headlamp or phone.
