Detailed Description
When layering is not enough
If you own a membrane jacket, you know that it can be worn all year round. But what happens when winter temperatures drop well below freezing and even a warm jumper is no longer enough? We’ve got a solution.
Fluidum is a jacket designed as an insulated bottom layer under membrane clothing. It can be fitted under Alpin and Parker jackets that have extra zips for this purpose; you will have to put them on separately for any other jackets.
It can also be worn separately, in which case you will appreciate the siliconized outer fabric, which guarantees high water repellency. On top of this, the Fluidum jacket is reversible, which means it can be worn with the colour that suits you on the outside.
There are pockets for your hands on both sides, although they are separated from each other. There is also a breast pocket and a flap under the main zip on the side considered to be the inner side, so that there is no airleak.

Technology supporting performance
Siliconization of the outer fabric means the Fluidum is highly water resistant. BHB Micro is a very lightweight, soft, breathable, highly compressible synthetic microfiber. Easy to maintain, washable, it dries in an instant.
Siliconized fibres repel water and, thanks to their density, form a barrier that partially protects the wearer from moisture and keeps them dry and warm even in extreme conditions.
BHB Micro is a highly successful substitute for down, unlike down it is particularly suitable for allergy sufferers.
